the garbage barge that is chris duhon

so, here's an email we just sent over to the fine fellows at Blog A Bull, a hilarious hoops blog (in the vein of the king of them all, The WizzNutzz)... who had warned everyone last year when they threw a virtual "Someone Signed Chris Duhon Party!" much like how NYC residents cheered when some poor rural area down South decides that their open territory is more valuable as landfill.

it's a profile of FRIGGIN' CHRIS DUHON by Howard Beck that you get the feeling was written like 3 weeks ago. it's also a case study in how statistics lie, and how a writer can sometimes goes into a story with a pre-conceived notion... which apparently leads him to imply that duhon is having a better season than rose, and is better than anyone you have ever had at PG in the last 3 years.

yeah. go read it.

for instance, duhon's getting 8 assists/game... because the knicks have 2 healthy guards, and because duhon dribbles for 18 seconds per possession on average! yes, the knicks have a high-octane offense... that gives up the 2nd most ppg in the friggin' league! their transition defense is a chinese fire drill.

and yeah, Big Doo's getting a career-high PPG in a career-high minutes... shooting 41pct from the friggin' field! and i'd say he does that "pull-up 3 from the top of the key with 16 seconds left on the shot clock with no one guarding him" thing at least 3 times a game; they usually hit the side of the rim.

like you guys promised... HE IS EVERYTHING YOU SAID HE COULD BE.

but i guess since he's apparently not about to "go to his car/get his second gun/come back and shoot everybody" kind of nuts (like recent knicks backcourt choices), he's gotta be the second coming of clyde, at least to one Howard B(l)ech.

anyway, great blog and stuff. and no, i'm not a knicks fan. jesus.

we'll update this later after derrick rose shits on him.
