New York Knicks point guard Chris Duhon(notes) has been a bust. Coach Mike D'Antoni couldn't get enough of him before last season started and now he's stuck with him till the end of this season since the 1-6 team basically has no other starting-quality point guards.
One of the knocks on Duhon has been poor leadership and he apparently tried to take a step up in that department about a week ago when he told MSG Network that players were "joking around" too much when in the layup line in practice. Well, that steamed up a few Knicks, apparently, and Al Harrington(notes) was one of them, according to the New York Post. So now D'Antoni has a team of guys annoyed with the point guard who already wasn't bringing it. It's going to be a long season.
Wonder if team bigwig Donnie Walsh is regretting not signing Ramon Sessions(notes) this off-season. Walsh wouldn't do it because he supposedly didn't want to tie up any money for next summer when everybody and their brother becomes a free agent, particularly LeBron James(notes), Chris Bosh(notes), Dwyane Wade(notes), and Amare' Stoudemire.

And somehow Duhon's the problem for questioning pre-game focus rituals. And in fact, it falls back on him that Harrington and the others are upset?
Does this team remind anyone of the pre-ewing knicks with Rory Sparrow, Darryl Walker, Len Bannister, Pat Cummings, Ernie Grunfeld, Bill Cartwright (occasionally), Andre Thornton? Except those guys were 1000x more lovable than these losers.
where's Bernard King when we need him?

Then there’s the fact that NY has no draft pick in 2010, thanks to the Stephon Marbury trade, and did nothing this year to either weather that storm, or induce any players to want to come to NY. With 7 major players lost to FA, including Duhon, this team is going to be decimated and bare-bones. Yes, they have the money to spend, but who will really want to come to a team with nothing, in a worse situation than wherever he’s playing now, just to be in NY? This team is D.O.A. this season, and a disgrace to the NBA for seasons to come.

They are over rated and if they are any good ala G Hill or Boozer they are hurt or [profane] to much.
The KNICKS needed to get Curry thats all they should have gone and got him or my brother he is a junior down in NJ and has better shooting skills come on KNICKS i really can't watch them anymore im a fan from of Ewing and Oakley dare i say bring back Marc Jackson he is third in assists.
