It’s not going to be easy against the Mavs tonight, they have won 13 in a row since their trade deadline splash which brought them Caron Butler to play along side last season’s acquisition, Shawn Marion. Consider that they also have Dirk–it is an understatement that they’ve got a great front court for Jason Terry and Jason Kidd to throw lobs to.
Toney Douglas will start tonight at the point guard position for the New York Knicks.
I think Bill Walker and Toney Douglas are proving to be keepers (for the right price, of course) on this soon-to-be roster of future ex-Knicks.

chandler and walker are too short to compete with mavs down low for the rebound.
toney douglas looks good, 7 points in the first quarter.
Well… well they hit their threes and played with some fire… Good win…Walker’s shooting seems to be improving. Douglas can be good… his confidence and swagger is getting there… needs more time with the pick n roll though
glad this wont be an 0 fer trip
“needs more time with the pick n roll though”
absolutely right. that’s the one thing that Duhon gave us that we need Toney to do these last 15 or so games, run that pick and roll with lee and harrington while pushing the ball and playing good d.
I think Walker and Douglas are keepers.
I read somewhere that Toronto would accept Lee in a sign and trade for Bosh. Would you pull the trigger if you were Donnie Walsh?
Bosh averages very few blocks per game for a guy his size. He’s no better at blocking shots than Lee. Lee has upgraded his offense, which catapulted him onto the all-star team this year, but he still leaves something to be desired on the other side of the floor. If only he played defense like Jared Jeffries, then he’d be a cornerstone to rebuild a franchise on.
Hmmmmmmmm the Bosh rumor is tough. I like he is somewhat a better all around player. I’d like to see some toughness out of him. He played very good d in the olympics though. I am slightly worried on how he would handle the NYC media. At this point I am leaning towards yes…and maybe Camby could be convinced to sign(on the cheap) as a rebounder paint patroller and garbage man. Bosh and Cambyman would make a good frontcourt.
yeah hopefully with time an repetition TD can learn to run the offense and direct traffic more efficiently. I love how he pushes the tempo and pressures the other teams 1… he’s got a good motor.
Yes re: Douglas I think DW did well in buying that pick…I would not be surprised if DW buys another pick this for summers draft or makes a deal that includes a pick in the upcoming draft. Douglas should be even better next year because of his comfort level.
RE: Walker..i like his on court demeanor smooth but a competitior (sp) a few weeks back I saw him guarding Rudy Gay pretty well esp. with ball denial. His long range stroke has improved since he got her(I wonder if Atkinson or Webber) is working with him…. He should try to block shots and attack the rim more of the dribble, also want him to improve his rebounding numbers… He’s got oh ah type of hops…he would be a great energy guy off the bench on a good squad. Hopefully he works hard this summer
