    I'll always be a Rodriguez fan and wish him nothing but the best, except when he plays us.

    Well, if he can't succeed in D'Antoni's SSOL, no defense required game plan, his days in the NBA are numbered. This is the perfect storm for him. Crappy team that is tanking to get more ping pong balls, crappy player to beat out for minutes (Duhon has a PER of 10.1 playing in a system that inflates PERs by 15 - 20%), a coach that doesn't even pretend to care about defense.

    Look for big numbers all around from Sergio tonight, lots of assists, lots of missed shots and lots of TOs.

    What's the surprise? Everyone knows that Duhon isn't good enough to start, while Sergio started a number of games for us.

    After his first game with the Knicks, many on the RealGM Knick message board (I read it because a thread on this board linked to it) said that this was the best PG they had had in many years. As I noted in that thread, D'Antoni gave Sergio 26 minutes and Duhon only 21. I knew then that Sergio would probably start the very next game.

    Not much of a 1st quarter for Sergio. 0 PTS on 0-2 shooting, 1 AST and nothing else.

    Re: OT: Sergio a starter for NY!

    Wrong on at least two counts:

    1. The Knicks are not tanking - if anything, they're desperate to win. Why? Because Utah has their pick. Imagine the fans' reaction if the pick turns into John Wall.
    2. D'Antoni needs a PG who can shoot, so his system is not "perfect" for Sergio. It's perfect for Steve Nash.

    Re: OT: Sergio a starter for NY!

    Well, other than perhaps Golden State (who also like PGs who can shoot), there really isn't a better fit for Sergio in the NBA than the Knicks.

    If he can't make it there, he can't make it anywhere.

    His inability to shoot the basketball will always make him a liability on any NBA team - which is why this might be his last chance to earn a second contract.

    1-5 tonight, with 1 AST and 1 STL so far tonight.

    Same old Sergio.

    I can't speak for BNM, but I kind of disliked his 'demeanor' (sort of pouty) and his defense made my eyes bleed ... but more than anything I got sick of hearing Maris jock him all the time.

    Re: OT: Sergio a starter for NY!

    I'm not a big fan of players who can't shoot, don't play defense, turn the ball over at an alarming rate - who have the EXACT same flaws in their game as a 4th year player as they did as a rookie.

    I don't hate him. I'm just not a fan and found the endless (still ongoing) excuses and jock riding of the Sergio fan boys tedious.

    Prepare for a life of tedium, because Sergio is in the league to stay. Knick fans were agog at two of his spectacular passes.

    Like Blake, Sergio can start on bad teams. When it comes time to put a winning team together, they deserve no more than 20 minutes a game. Even less in Sergio's case.

    Someone has to suit up for bad teams.
