people keep saying this but this is faulty logic. one is not replacing the other. both will be in the rotation. so whereas we had 1 chucker getting minutes before we now have two chuckers getting minutes. it's a downgrade as far as our overall team shooting ability.

You got a crystal bowl or something :roll:

and you are confused, Ignorant or a hypocrit

You concede that crawford is one the worst shooters in the NBA yet say he will look like Allan Houston compared to Hughes Yet Hughes has a better Career fg%[/quote]

You are pretty ignorant if you judge a player's shooting ability by FG%. That doesn't evaluate the number of 3's a person shoots or the success of their 3 point shooting. Hollinger is a douche, but his one stat that is top notch is his TS%. If you look at those stats you will see why Crawford is a better shooter. Or you can continue to be an uninformed **** for no reason whatsoever. Your choice.


Larry Hughes is very good at getting to the basket. However he can't make lay-ups and is a cancer. We will see how he works. This is really his last chance to prove himself to the league. If he screws up here he will be relegated to Bonzie Wells status and blackballed from the league.[/quote]


Really? FG % is the amount of makes and misses, 3 pt shooting has its own %

Does it factor in that Crawford doesnt goto the hole too?
Crwford chucks more 3pters, Hughes shoots WAY more Ft's

Crawford is a 40% fg shooter, anyone who trys to say he is a good shooter or "can shoot" is Ignorant period

See`Ray allen for a SG that shoots 3's

Id rather have Hughes than Q any damn day.

Im not expecting great things from Larry. But hes a good defender and can handle the ball. Lets just hope he keeps hittin threes at a 40 percent clip.

You can be right but we dont know what Mike is going to do yet. But honestly Hughes is better than Q man. Hes a better defender, ball handler, and a better shooter. Only thing Q has over him is rebounding.

It will be interesting to see what coach does with these two guys though. I just dont think I can hate Larry more than I hate Q ha. But I guess we'll see.

The coach needs to swallow his pride and bench Q-bitch for the rest of the damn year. I've had it with this scrub.

So, if we have one chucker with Larry, can we dub them Chuck & Larry?

Oh and they make Hughes sound like he's Ricky Davis. If thats true then...........

yeah but this crawful plays defense, although he blows a lot of open shots because he lives and dies on gambling for steals.

he also makes crawful look like a houston when it comes to shooting.


this is a perfect description of him. i have a terrible feeling they're going to make him a starter too. a lot of people complained to me about calling him garbage but after a few games i'm pretty sure everyone will see it the same way.


I tell you what Larry is going to piss alot of Knicks fans off he takes too many garbage shots.

I know he does, but there are a lot of good shots that are created by this offense so my hope is that a lot of the shots he chucks up will be decent shots and if he's hitting threes at 40% and playing good D than that's an incredible return on TT, JFat and Roberson.

Hughes gets alot of bad press, but he's not so much a bad player as he is frustrating. When he was with the Cavs he played good defense and did everything he could to play within the teams scheme. He didn't like to play that way so he complained alot but at least he did it while he was here. What he will do that'll frustrate you and confound you is that he'll take some baffling shots that you will have you screaming "don't shoot" at your television. It's just how he is.

That makes the list: Hughes, Harrington, QRich, Effries, and Nate (sometimes)
