Team D is your new favorite basketball team.

by Seth on Sep 12, 2011 10:44 AM EDT in Lockout : (

For the next two weeks, the Impact Basketball Friends Fiesta in Las Vegas is your favorite basketball league and THIS is your favorite team (via TKB):

Team D
Chauncey Billups (week 2)
Iman Shumpert
Damon Jones
Roger Mason Jr
Jamaal Tinsley
Shawne Williams
Jermaine O'Neal

[Vomits.] Let's go Team D! The "(Week 2)" for Billups and absence of Josh Harrellson and Jared Jeffries can probably be attributed to the following:

However, according to the league's organizer, Joe Abunassar, the Knicks club will be shorthanded because Billups, Mason, Harrellson and Jeffries won't be showing up until Wednesday.

That doesn't exactly line up, but whatever. Hopefully when Jeffries and Harrellson do show up, they'll kick Jones and O'Neal off the squad. No matter what, we at Posting and Toasting are Team D fans 4 lyfe. Buy your officially licensed Team D apparel here. Also, our fan organization is called the "D-Bags". Act accordingly.

D-Bags for life, baby!

Seriously though, the best part about this news is getting Iman and Chauncey together.

This is the best thing that can happen for Iman in regards to his development.

Three thoughts

1. Team D(eeeeez Nuts) all the way, obviously

2. Larry Hughes still plays basketball?! Hahahaha

3. The fact that he spells his first name correctly does not lessen the involuntary vomiting at seeing seeing the name Is(a)iah Thomas connected to anything even remotely related to the Knicks.

there is a joke to be made somewhere about the irony of Knicks players being on "Team D(efense)" . . .

Go D-Bags!

A void? I see no void!

D-Bags lose but Shumpy is really smooth

Here are some notes I made from the D-Bags first game.
Made a left turn at the third Elvis and pulled into the Impact parking lot.
There were only five players on each side so no substitutions. Four ten minute quarters with a five minute halftime. There were maybe 200 people in attendance so I could move around to the D-Bags half of the court and sat maybe 10 feet from the action.
In the first 3 minutes Shumpy stole the ball, got a couple of rebounds and missed a wide open 3. After that he made at least 5 threes in a row, mostly from the right corner. Stole the ball a couple more times got at least 6 assists and made a nifty off balance put back on an offensive rebound. He also made a few two pointers and I only counted 2 misses. I’n not sure what the official box score will look like but he scored at least 20 points by my unofficial count.
My cellphone went off with about 2 minutes to go so I had to get to someplace quiet and missed the final two minutes of action but by that time the Bags were down by about 10. I’m not sure if they won or not, but I think they probably lost.
Shumpy pretty much stayed on the outside for most of the game.
Anyway my overall impression was of a guy who lets the game come to him, didn’t force up any bad shots, and if given a sliver of space will burn you. He’s got a nice stroke.
Jorts was not in attendance and since there was no program I am not sure who anyone else was except for Corey Magette. From what saw I think we can be encouraged.
That’s it. Now back to the tables.

Thank you 8 million times

By the way, the box score I saw said he shot 10-14, but was 1-4 from three. So you’re saying he actually shot and hit more threes? That’s good to hear. They also gave him only 2 assists, but I’m glad to hear he was moving the ball.

It's quite possible that some of those threes I saw where actually long twos

In any case they were close to the 3 point line. I admit I am a bit of a Bag homer. Also, any time he made a pass that resulted in a teammate scoring I counted it as an assist. If the game was at At MSG I think he would have been credited with at least six assists. Whatever, he was certainly not a ball stopper. If he didn’t have a shot he got rid of the ball quickly. I just remember that in some discussions here the worry was that he would force up questionable shots like he did at Georgia Tech. I saw none of that. If he plays for us like he did for the Bags last night I doubt there will be any complaints about his shot selection or his game in general. Also, I never saw him take any foul shots which makes it kind of difficult to score 24 points on only 10 made shots without at least 4 threes. Again, I left a couple of minutes early so I may have missed some foul shots.

Thanks for the recap

You’ve officially cracked our collective Shumpty-as-a-Knick cherry, congratulations. Can’t wait to see this guy myself.

Thanks for the report dude

Anyway my overall impression was of a guy who lets the game come to him, didn’t force up any bad shots, and if given a sliver of space will burn you. He’s got a nice stroke.

Awesome to hear.

as exciting as this little thrown together league is

I would rather be where melo is.

I think it was Bobby V who said: "You are never as good as you are when you are at your best, and you are not as bad as when you are at your worst."

Like the really funny uncle with a healthy bourbon habit who matches every brilliant Thanksgiving story with one or two ill-advised racist jokes or boob grabs, we’re stuck with Melo. So we might as well learn to love him — quirks and all. http://knickerblogger.net/2011-report-card-carmelo-anthony/

Encouraging start for Shumpy

Really excited to see him this season

I am telling you guys, I have seen this kid play and Shumpert is legit

He needs some coaching, he did not get any at Georgia Tech, hell even bad coaching would have made him a better player, and time to smooth out some of the rough spots and this guy is going to be very good for a long time.
