    Duhon? He averages 5ppg and 4apg and shoots 35% from the field. I'd rather have Blake.

    NYK is unpredictable, because of their style. They'll be up and down all year,
    is my guess.

    True, and if they finish .500 they will still make the playoffs.

    I don't know if I would read too much into a Knicks victory, but they clearly underperformed last year under Thomas, and now with a real coach who isn't trying to make the square peg fit the round hole by playing Curry and Z-bo together they're having some success ... I'd credit part of the win to no Deron Williams too however.

    I wouldn't be completely shocked to see the Knicks finish around .500 and get the 7th or 8th seed in the East.

    Actually, Zach had something like 25/14, while Curry had DNP-CD.

    Its not averages, they just didn't have a real PG last year. Nate Robinson? Jamaal Crawford? Are you kidding me?

    when your PGs first instinct is to score, you know you're in trouble.

    They're going to make a trade too. They're not playing marbury or curry. It could make them better if they play their cards right

    He had 16 pts, 9 assts, 5 rebs, and 3 steals tonight. Did Blake do that against the Jazz?
