I am starting to become a Q-Brick fan as of late. :oops:

I am starting to feel very confident in him when he gets the ball in the post that he will either score or get fouled. Hopefully he doesn't screw it up in tonights game.

don't worry, he'll change that tonight when he shoots 5% from the field. he's had too many good games so he's due for some bad ones to balance it out

Qrich needs to be a post up player, I dont know who told him he was a good 3pts shooter. He needs to watch some old LJ clips

Hmm Q looking at old LJ tapes isnt such a bad idea

Ohh.. I think D'antoni was the one who told Q he was a good 3 point shooter...

Hey at least he's not a washed up Dennis Scott

wow i feel the same way

usually he **** it up before I get to like him, but he's been good lately

I've been saying this for years, Q need to go back to the post. It seems that it's the only aspect of his game, that's still consistently on. His back basically killed everything else.

Did Q-Brick get his groove back?

Seriously though, he's been playing well recently. Over the last 4, he's averaging 19PPG on 53% FG (and 68% from 3!!!). Take out that total team stinker against the Wiz and the numbers are even more eyepopping (23PPG, 60% FG, 82% 3PT). Here's hoping he keeps mixing it up with the posting and toasting and drilling and thrilling. They're gonna need it tonight against the Suns.

Q is frustrating, but I always like the guys heart...

But I went and looked up the numbers of the G/F in the league playing 26+ minutes and suprisingly, Q ranks pretty decent. Now he only plays 30mpg and he starts, but he averages 12/5. Q's problem is that he shoots 39% and 35% from three. If he can move at least 2 points higher in both categories, he might be a decent SG for us..

now you have guys like granger, salmons(who is having a great year) Butler, Iggy, carter, durant who obviusly have much better numbers, but when it comes to the middle of the pack guys, the Brewers, JR smith, Barnes, Nick young, parker, maurice evans. Q is right there or better than most of those guys. So of late he has been good, and for the year his numbers are improving, and he is one of the top 2 or 3 rebounders at that G/F position..

Q-Rich is a borderline starter, but great back-up at the 2 and 3 spots.

Onez_Knicks · Post #11 » by **Onez_Knicks** » Wed Jan 21, 2009 5:03 pm

yeah and when he plays well we win. It shows us if we have a consistent shooting guard (ahem joe johnson 2010) we have a better record.

LJ had some sweet moves in the post! "Those were the days my friend, we thought they'd never end...."

Check the stats.

Right now, Q-Rich is shooting 40% from the field and 37% from three for the season.

GOOD catch, the site I was on, probably didn't have the updated stats....

Hah, it's all good, not like it matters much. By the next game, Q-Rich could be back down to 39% and 35% if he has a bad shooting nights. He fluctuates.

Its funny because this is the exact Q I have been waiting to show up since we acquired him. He is playing like the player I thought we were getting.

Woah, sorry friend. I guess something messed up when I tried to quote TKF. I sincerely apologize.
