Great defender = ranked 151st in points allowed per possession
Decent shooter = .273 fga

:roll:


The season is barely ten games old. TD is a pitbull on D and can shot the ball a bit.

Stop polluting the forum with such nonsense. Tony Douglas is not even close to a pitbull on d or do you mean a puppy ? He is average at best on defense. Watched him play for 2 years for nyk and the only thing I give him is that he tries hard but he is not capable of being anything but average on defense. I won't even start with his offense.

Well, I watched him play 3 years in NYC, and I know he's a very good defender and can shoot the ball a bit. The guy is better than his stats. There is more to the game than stats. Toney can become a good player in this league. My prediction is Toney is going to play well enough to steal some time from lin. They're are probably going to get equal playing time by the All Star break.

I have to agree with this, Douglas isn't as bad as you're making it out to be.

The issue is Douglas is a SG and not a PG, and whenever you have him out there with Harden at the same the rockets just look lost on offense.

This thread has turned into Knick fans arguing who's better out of TD and JL. Let's lock it or move it.

Douglas is just awful. I don't get how they don't get an upgrade at backup PG. Heck, Antonio Daniels would be a better option, IMHO.

douglas is not that bad. and douglas is a professional player who doesn't complain and always does his part. not sure why all the hate on him. with that said, lin shuldve been in the game in OT. the hate on him is ridiculous, probably the only player in the NBA right now who drops 11 dimes and is getting hated on.

You're right, you know. It really isn't TD's fault that he's called on to do so much by the most incompetent coach in the NBA. Douglas, to his credit, was never a dick about being benched during his time with the Knicks.

This is all on Sampson.

Lillard just dominated in general. He's the best point guard out of the 3.

Toney is horrible, and the fact that a Knicks fan is defending is just baffling. He has no IQ, he overplays on defense, and what little shooting ability he had, is gone.

Don't know why you are laughing. Dragic can't even outplay Telfair for point guard position.
