Did you get to watch any of it? Was wondering how he looks.
Yeah I watched the whole game... Initially, in the first half of this game and the 20 or so minutes he played last game he was just letting the game come to him... not forcing anything... but the second half of this game he turned it up a few notches and started attacking the paint. Honestly, he looked great last night. His handle is a lot better... it's stronger and the ball stays tight and doesn't get loose or stray. Physically he looked great to. He took a clothesline from Robin Lopez pretty good. Honestly, for a second there it got a little painful there watching the kid play in a Rockets uniform and I wanted to punch something
But then I just thought about it... hey the Rockets at least saw some talent in his game when they invited him to camp last year... they just had a glut of guards. Whereas the Knicks just brought him on because they had no idea what else to do when Grunwald realized his plan at the point was garbage. Then MikeD only played him out of desperation. So it's probably best he went back to the team that at least had some belief that he could play in the league.
But this notion that you can measure the impact of a PG by his stats is just idiotic... and if that's the bone of contention that someone wants to make well quite frankly they don't know anything about the game.
