J.R. Smith has literally been shanghaied away for the foreshortened 2011-2012 NBA season: rolling ILH sandbox thread

Can someone more knowledgeable than me take a stab at who the Knicks are going to start at PG and SG? Davis and Bibby = an old, tired back line, but otoh Bibby can hit threes and Davis is a good passer. The younger guys are all pretty young and untested though. I guess whoever starts, the backup is going to see heavy play time?

feel like baron has a lot more left in the tank than bibby. i'm almost certain that he's the starting pg and will play ~30 mpg. i imagine you'll see a lot of different combinations of landry fields, bibby, toney douglas, etc. split between the guard spots, though.

NYK have talent, but they're very injury-prone, and i think chandler was worth far more to dallas than he will to new-york.

most importantly, tho, i am confident that mike d'antoni will screw it up.

I can sort of see an offense that relies on Davis getting it inside to the big men quickly and kickouts to bibby. I sort of don't know where Carmelo fits in, but I don't exactly understand how he fits in to any offense other than just trying to score a lot.

"scoring a lot" is 'melo's niche.

also: throwing tantrums 'till he's traded.

I mean my impression of it is "scoring a lot in a not particularly efficient or useful (beyond the fact that it is scoring, obv) way"

isn't baron injured until february or something?

god dammit, i love kg

Any recent pictures of Baron, cuz I think I just saw him on the street in midtown, going into a cafe or something. Was sort of distracted b/c rushing back to work. He had less facial hair than I remember though so wondering if he trimmed/shaved it recently.

yeah found one

i wish our regular season thread could be audio of marv yelling his name

thread title i mean

i really wish i knew what concept kg was trying to get across in that photo also, i feel like hes explaining the psychological advantages of using your war face in the post

happy trails, peja stojakovic!

also also, baron can be flat-out awesome when he's engaged and having fun, but between the lockout and his back i cant see him being in decent shape in february. that said even fat baron was really fun playing with blake for a minute last year

predrag is retiring? aw!

Strangely enough, he started playing better after Sterling started openly berating him courtside.
