    Yes, he missed a wide open layup and bricked a few other shots, but he is playing lockdown defense on Lillard. He hustles hard and helps his teammates up when they're down. As long as he's trying as hard as he can, I'm happy with him. People asking for him to get injured in the game thread are ridiculous - he's a person, not just a basketball player.

    He's just not a good point guard in any sense of the word which is kinda bad if you're a point guard.

    If you knew anything about basketball, you would know it's not all about shooting.

    His defense is pretty good.

    I know Lillard is a rookie PG, but Douglas did really well, considering Lillard burned Lin in the fourth / OT.

    Did Tonye Douglass play Defense on Lillard in the 4th quarter than Lin

    sure looked like it too me

    to Lin defense, TD is just awful at everything else, how many wide-open layups did he miss tonight

    He can hustle all he wants, bottom line is, he has to produce. If he cannot, he will lose his backup guard role.

    Did the fresh guy play better on defense than the gassed guy in the 4th quarter? Yes.

    Gret perimeter D. Not a point guard. Hope his shot starts falling.

    Thread title = confusing.

    McHale taking out Douglas for Lin = more confusing.

    Lin needed a rest so he could finish the game.

    Tony Douglas didn't shut anyone down, he had two nice steals tho. He left Lilard open for a three and cheated on one where Lilard had a midrange.

    No excuses. Lin got his azz torched tonite. Notice Douglas held Lillard at bay until Lin came back in

    He tries hard, gotta give him props for that, but he seriously lacks court vision and basketball IQ.
