I'm sure if baron Davis was the starting point guard he would get somewhere around that too. Don't look at stats, JL is a better scorere than a passer. His also a tourn over machine.
He definitely is a tourn over machine. What's a "tourn" by the way? Its amazing how people still doubt what Jeremy Lin is doing. To the point where people think old and washed up Baron Davis can equal Lin's production or even do better. Turnovers are not important. Assist/Turnover ratio is the real factor to how a player is doing since minutes played can severely skewer stats especially when players are playing 40+ minutes.
Did you even watched the game? Davis did pretty much nothing except getting Lin some rest and that one long 3 pt... Lin only has 3 TOs while Melo had 6. Everyone sucked at scoring this game but at least Lin is constantly attacking the basket to get to FT line.
Baron suprisingly looked ok... He seem in decent shape, ran the pick and roll competently and played ok defense in his 10 minutes on the floor. Deron Williams was lighting up anyone with a Knicks Jersey the first 3 quarters, first Jeremy Lin who he repeatedly shed through screens or off his crossover. Knicks would switch Fields, Jr Smith and traps on Dwill, but nothing would stop him from either nailing a three, penetrating or getting to the line. Williams was 8-13 from threes at the end of the 3rd quarter and 8-10 from the line for 32 points (0-5 2pt shots). The man was on fire from distance AND getting to the free throw line.
He is a better scorer than passer, but that's only because he's a pretty damn efficient scorer. His passing is adequate for a starting PG.
What is the point to be built like Amare and then take 15 ft jumpers all day? And ex-Mr. Kardashian was the best inside player on the court tonight. Good god. Ugly game by most Knicks tonight though.
Shumpert missing the game and Chandler being in foul trouble were the two big factors in the Knicks loss tonight. Those are their two best defenders and could have slowed down the 3-pt barrage somewhat. Anyhow, the loss = good for Rockets draft pick.
Shumpert being inactive was a big mistake. D-Will was shooting with hands in his face though so maybe not.
Let's hope Melo does mess up the chemistry and they nose dive. And then all the LOFs scream for the Knicks to trade Lin to a better team. :grin:
Melo for KMart sound like a good deal for the Knicks, no? Kevin is a much better fit for D'Antoni, no? Rockets wante Melo, no?
