Toney Douglas ain't no point guard, he's an enabler

How was it possible to give up 30 points in the paint in the first half and allow the Lakers to shoot 72% from the floor with the "best front court" in the NBA and a newly hired defensive coach? Unfuckingbelievable.

I won't even get into how the play from the point and two guard positions ain't worth a box of grits. Well, I guess I just did didn't I?!? Since I'm there Toney Douglas simply doesn't have the balls to take command of this offensive, pass the ball to the open man whomever that might be and demand that Carmelo and Amare rotate the ball and cut to the basket if they want shots. Until that happens he ain't no point guard he's an enabler.

ENABLER: One who enables another to persist in self-destructive behavior by providing excuses or making it possible to avoid the consequences of such behavior.

When Amare and Melo simply go about freelancing and jacking up wild shots that is self-destructive behavior Douglas is allowing.

I wish D'Antoni had allowed Amare and Melo to stay on the bench in the second quarter and ride out the hustling defensive and excellent ball movement from the "second unit". Maybe their example would have sparked something. But hey I ain't the coach and from the looks of this team, neither is Mike D'Antoni.

The Knicks lose again. Lakers 99 - Knicks 82

Mi prendi in giro?

Are we going to start this fucking shit all over again?

November 27, 2011 It was a cool and bright Sunday morning and I had just finished my coffee and bacon, egg and cheese on a toasted roll sandwich. I saw a couple of cute hookers when I went to the veggie stand and all was right with the world.

Well, all was right with the world until the sports talk on the radio shifted from the particulars of the NBA agreement reached yesterday to Knicks talk and my rage began.

Now, I know I said last season that I'd never write another post for this blog again and I was really hoping to keep my word but these fuckers on the radio have pissed me off again and I need to say a quick word or two which is a better alternative to going outside and shooting cats with my BB gun.

It wasn't the idiotic Mike D'Antoni talk that set me off today. I think the hiring of Mike Woodson is Jim Dolan's way of putting Mikey on notice about what will happen if the team starts off poorly and I am good with that. Defensive coach, lol, yeah right.

Nor was it the foolish 'Chauncey Billups will lead us to the promised land' claptrap from callers. If the Knicks don't pull off a deal to move that 14 million dollar contract of Billup's for Marc Gasol they are officially a bunch of retards.

The fucks on the radio are still wondering if there is another free agent center out there that would be a better fit than Amare Stoudemire. Umm, dick wads, Amare is not a center and he broke down physically last year because he is constantly playing out of position. Are we going to start this fucking shit all over again this abbreviated season? Really?

If the Knicks don't address the point guard and center position look for them to repeat the one and done playoff appearance of last season and will repeat every season going forward.

Are these fans and "analysts" ever going to get it?

Let's hope that Landry Fields put up at least 50 thousand 18 foot jump shots during the off season so that someone can take advantage of the mid range opportunities that will present themselves when Amare and Carmelo are on the court at the same time. We shall see.

Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to fire up my new Hector Lavoe playlist and practice my new Salsa steps.
