Vince Carter likes to point

For someone who doesn't play point guard, Vince Carter sure is an avid pointer. Who can blame the man? Pointing is a staple in American culture. From Uncle Sam to Trey Kerby, pointing is an integral part of our society. It's a call to action. It provides direction. It starts memes. And it's a sign of affection. In fact, just last night I gave a work bro the double point as I walked to my car.
In the Suns' 121-96 blowout loss to the Knicks last night, Carter spent a lot of the third quarter pointing. Usually a player will point for props, but there aren't many to be given out in a blowout loss. And since Carter was on the losing side, he surely couldn't have been pointing at the scoreboard. So, what was he pointing at?
Landry Fields gets a free pass to the basket on this play as he beats Carter on a little give-and-go with Amar'e Stoudemire.
You see that Carter should have followed Fields around and defended the passing lane.
Instead he stays and points in the direction of two people. Is it Steve Nash, Vince? The ref?
The Knicks run the high Bread-N-Butter to close out the quarter and Ronny Turiaf gets a free layup, too.
Vince Carter should've helped by rotating over to Turiaf.
Instead he's all like, wtf?
So he points at Goran Dragic.
The riddle that is Half Man, Half Alert: solved.

Wince Carter
Half man, half-appalling. That Sarver is one sadistic bastard.
Free Randolph.
Half-man, half-appalling, half-assed.

Nothing like ripping on Vince Carter
that one with Turiaf is a gem
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
dude just get on dizzy's case again on the post game thread he's getting really annoying
Victory goes to the courageous!!
Man for a guy who's made a career of not giving a shit unless it's handed to him, he's REALLY not giving a shit in PHX right now.
Those fans deserve better. Especially since they essentially swapped out JRich who’s been great for them for this dude. This guy could have been one of the greats. What a disappointment.
penny made a better case for them as he balled even when his knee started to fail for him
but vince… that is a different matter.
Victory goes to the courageous!!
But that owners deserve it
They obviously don’t care for the fans with the horrible moves they’ve made over the years

On the Turiaf fail...
Looks like VC just forgets that Dwight Howard isn’t behind him anymore. Poor Vince.

was he just as terrible in ORL
or did he at least try?

Awesome write-up. I laughed so hard. Man, I wish Vince would get traded every night… to the next team on our schedule.
They will be for!

I love ripping on Wince as much as anyone...
…but the first video, showing “The Landry One” getting an easy dunk, wasn’t his fault. The Suns were still in the midst of playing that half-assed zone D that gave up roughly 4 bajillion points to the Knicks, so it was Gortat’s fault for not manning the center. Of course, Gortat was much more concerned with letting Stoudemire out of his sight than he was with anything else. Which is why the Suns shouldn’t have even bothered with going with the zone if they were going to give up seams like that.
Unless, of course, the zone D was really a half-assed box-and-1 instead. Well, whatever the hell it was, it gave the Knicks the most open looks I’ve seen this season.

I think what’s important is that whatever the Suns were doing on D, it was half-assed. And if there’s one guy who knows about doing things half-assed, it’s Wince.

I thought he was playing well in Orlando
and we saw Carter showing his frustration in this game. He isn’t OK with this. This isn’t really how he plays. It’s just the way how things are going there.
and you can’t expect a player to come to a new team and immediately know how to defend as a team. Clearly he was expecting his teammates to do some things that they just didn’t do. On the Fields play, maybe he was expecting Nash to switch onto Fields and Carter would take Felton.
One of my favorite posts ever
Hilarious. Hating vince carter is a great pastime of all NBA fans.
Jets - Knicks - Mets
a lot of people don't realize this,
but the orlando magic are actually incredibly intense about their defensive rotations. follow them for a while and you will hear several players mention that it’s the biggest adjustment when you go there.
considering what gortat recently said about the defense in phoenix, i have to wonder if the transition has something to do with it.
this isn’t just about missing dwight.
as if knicks fans don't know about the van gundy's....
/// aighttho.com \\/// twitter.com/aighttho \\
and their ex-boss...
especially which they had taken from with all the no offensive sets when you need them
Victory goes to the courageous!!
I've noticed
ORL is great with help defense

Makes you really appreciate a) how good the Orlando trade was and b) how little theTNT/ESPN pundits understand about personnel/chemistry/team construction.

Looking forward to it. I can tell Kobe will be coming out with the fire from jump. I hope we can catch you guys with your pants down tonight.

The Knicks with their pants down will just make for faster pooping.

Completely unrelated...
NBA TV has a show called NBA Unscripted about the Knicks “resurgence” this year. Lots of behind the scenes stuff. I found it pretty damn enjoyable. It’s on again 1/13 at 9pm est. Just thought I’d pass it along

Nice. I usually hate these types of shows, but then again, if they have anything to do with teamwork or front office management, they haven’t been about the Knicks. I’ll see if I can get that.
