    a pointless post. I could write for Bleacher which automatically destroys its credibility as a site. Its a blog post site parading as a "news." The only thing worth reading there is the WWE section.

    Just says TD had a bad year last year. Nothing we didn't know.

    actually the song was written by Jackson Brown when he was about 16 or 17 years old

    For all the love and praise that Lin got last season, Douglas was the recipient of an equal amount of hate and malice. The way he handled things, from his shooting struggles to Lin's rise, was extremely impressive and that kind of character is what we need on a team full of rookies. I really think is presence will be invaluable when our young team inevitably struggles.

    He's actually shooting really well thus far ironically.

    Tony Douglas like Lin was always a team first guy. He never said anything negative about Lin in any interview unlike Melo, JR Tyson etc. He cant run a complicated offense but he can score and play defense. He is a good bench player and has had some starting experience. I remember hearing an interview where he said people in NYC would tell him how much he sucked while he was out with his girl. A classy dude who will help the rookies and young guys find their game.

    Wow, that's really sad. He was always the first one off the bench whenever Lin made a nice play. He's really classy and I really believe his shoulder injury affected him greatly last year.

    Toney is a nice dude. I never heard/read anything negative about him (except for his on-court performance - which unfortunately is very important).

    I hope we can find a way of keeping him and making good use of him.

    I would have liked to see Livingston get some burn, but haven't seen him recently in the preseason.

    Douglas looked good in the one game I've seen in person at TC, against the NOH. Hit his 3s and had some nice assists. Would like to see Livingston have a chance at the point. In the NOH blowout, Livingston played the 2 next to Douglas.

    I like TD a lot also because he is a team first guy. He's not a great play maker, but as long as he gives us some points when he's in, just like he did in the last game, I'm fine with him not being a great play maker. The good thing is he is shooting very well. I'm just afraid when he's not shooting well in some games, that will create some problems. I also would like us to keep Livingston as insurance if this happens.

    Why should Douglas take all the blame for the Knicks failure? Didn't they have ball dominating players in Anthony, Stat? Those guys were supposedly to score all the points for them, not Douglas.

    This is why I wish we could rate a thread with less than one star. One star is too high for some threads.

    "Sung" by Nico.

    Not to stick up for the writer but I thought this was a well written piece and funny as hell.
