Sun to the Shine 12/07/09

 

I have a question before I bring the ray of light on to our beloved Knicks. 95 people said that Chris Duhon would return to pissing us off during yesterdays game. How do you all feel today? Seth's right, he did drive to the hoop and he was taking the shots that you would like him to take. I'm still hesitant towards being pleased with his performance though. An off night afternoon like the one Du Du had yesterday could be understandable if he was having even a semi-good year, but I don't think anyone is being a downer when they say that the game Du Du had against Atlanta was a once in a month type game and that the Nets game was a regression towards what we've already been seeing. Just a thought.

Our sunshines:

1. Al - 26pt 14 reb!!!!!!!!!!!! 5ast. Only three shots taken from beyond the arc.

2. David Lee - 24pt 9reb. Typical efficient game from Lee. Even though Lopez ran all over him on the other end in the 1st half, Dave didn't let it hinder his offensive game.

3. Larry Hughes - 25/4/4. 14/17 from the FT line. Hughes getting to the hoop in the second half is a big reason why we came back.

Overall Sunshine Rank:

1. David Lee - 6

2. Al - 4

3. Du-Du and Hughes - 3

4. Gallo - 2

swishin n dishin'

is what we have been doing lately.. lemme see more of knicks! loving the “less chucking three’s and taking it to the basket gameplan”

duhon's game opens up

when harrington, hughes et al drive to the hoop more often. he still needs to be more aggressive. hughes needs to get to the line like corey maggette otherwise his effectiveness is limited.

harrington has trouble staying focused. as is evident by the difference from first half to second half. hopefully he doesn’t continue to regress into tonight because we’ll definitely need him. but the effort on the glass is amazing! that won’t (but needs to) continue.

the blazers are huge up front. even without oden. also they play like the slowest pace in the league. so if we can push the tempo, we have a chance. if we play their pace – we better be on fire! because we have a tendency to stand around and watch (on both ends) when the pace is slow. hopefully d’antoni can keep them energized.

applause to lee, who keeps plugging away.

toney gots to keep his head up. nate too, because you don’t know when your number gets called, and we all know he can have a huge effect on the game.

let’s keep the streak alive! i smell 62-20!!!

Love the site

But not sure the Oden’s knee-ghost comment is the most tasteful thing you could have come up with for that poll.

Who cares

Oden is a big time bust, this is year 3 and the guy can’t stay on the floor.

How good would the jailblazers be with Durant and Roy??

by Rigsay on Dec 7, 2009 3:11 PM EST up reply actions  

they would be team that scores with no defense

and a barley above .500 record

the knee ghost didn't bug me

but my heart goes out for Oden. That type of injury is kinda a fluke thing. And he was really playing well. The silver lining is that the guy is still very young (he’ll be 22 in january) and still plenty of time to shake his new injury reputation. I think the Blazers took the right guy in oden though. they already had Aldridge and Roy, but no Center. And the kid has game. They knew Durant was more NBA ready too.

eh i guess it didn't really

I just feel so horrible for the guy and I just imagine if I were him and I saw that I wouldn’t think it was too funny.

by JayKim41 on Dec 7, 2009 4:27 PM EST up reply actions  

I agree..

the hell are we getting on Oden for?

He’s like Mr. Glass from unbreakable.

Freak injuries just keep happening to him.

Yea, he’s a multi-millionare and all a that, so he’s not gonna grow hungry (unless he’s boys with Antoine Walker), but I feel bad for the bid dude.
