game really made my day.
I was almost happier about Hardaway having a great game than I was about the Purdue win, surprisingly.
January 31st, 2014 at 9:52 AM ^
Nice Timmy.
January 31st, 2014 at 3:57 PM ^
Lakeside, the video was awesome. I wanted to follow Tim through his pro years because I became such a fan of his over his three years with Michigan. But being selfish I wish he would have stayed for his senior year.
January 30th, 2014 at 11:07 PM ^
I love it.
January 31st, 2014 at 3:25 PM ^
He's a nice guy, too. Go Blue!
What's up with that BlackOps guy downvoting this?? Troll??
January 30th, 2014 at 11:07 PM ^
A buddy of mine is a huge Knicks fan and texted me mid game "thank you". Hardaway is having a fantastic rookie season and was a steal for NY.
January 30th, 2014 at 11:16 PM ^
THJ only has 1 start this year. Everything he's done this year, he's done coming off the bench.

WISH HE WAS A FREAKING PISTON
January 30th, 2014 at 11:17 PM ^
That's funny. You should know by now that he CANT be a Piston for two reasons:
1. He attended University of Michigan
2. He's good
January 30th, 2014 at 11:32 PM ^
did ok with the pistons

Per basketball-reference.com, Terry only attempted four three-pointers while at UM, hitting none. Mgoblue's statistics archive does not include his 3pt miss vs Illinois in the Final Four that Higgins rebounded for the winning bucket. So maybe he was 0-5.
Anyway, during his 476 games as a Piston he attempted 2.6 threes per game, hitting 495 of 1258 (.393).
It would be like McGary (currently 0-2 on threes) becoming an outside shooter in the pros.
January 30th, 2014 at 11:35 PM ^
January 31st, 2014 at 10:25 AM ^
Also, he's a shooting guard that can shoot. Automatic DQ for the Pistons.
January 31st, 2014 at 9:31 AM ^
Imagine if the Pistons had drafted either Burke or THJ last year... Likely would have been lottery again in 2014, and if they could have complemented with either Marcus Smart or Gary Harris....
A backcourt of Burke and Harris would be absurd.

MCW is probably the heavy favorite for ROY. Trey might finish third behind Olapido.

Just kidding. Great game THJ!
January 30th, 2014 at 11:13 PM ^
thrilled for him. i was lukewarm on his pro prospects, but he is having a fantastic year.
i really admired his leadership at michigan. trey sort of took the spotlight and rather than pouting he did everything to help the team.
i really think his junior year was the difference between having a killer rookie season and spending time in the nbdl.
hope certain current wolverines are taking note.
January 31st, 2014 at 1:33 AM ^
January 30th, 2014 at 11:13 PM ^
love him, but did not see him having this kind of success in the NBA. Good for him; clearly continued to work very hard on his game to play at this level.
January 30th, 2014 at 11:20 PM ^
Yes, I'm surprised how well he is doing. Granted, he is playing in the East against bad competition, but it's still NBA competition, and he's showing (as a rookie) he belongs. Impressive.
On a side note: WTF Anthony Bennett?! Here's his stat line:
1-6 FG, 2-4 FT, 2 REB, 1 AST and 1 TO and 3 PF in 23 minutes.
- Those 4 points are HIGHER than his 2.8 points a game average.
I know he's the #1 pick overall, but he needs to go the d-league and work on his game and his confidence. Immediately.

Bennett: Points -2.8 / Assists - .3 / Rebounds - 1.4
Despite his recent 15 point "outburst" in garbage time of the Knicks game the other night Bennett's stats have actually gotten WORSE since I made the post claiming him to be the worst #1 pick in the history of sports.
Interestingly enough the boys on PTI were debating whether Bennett was the worst NBA #1 pick recently so his absolute lack of any sort of talent, drive, dedication and overall basketball skills are being noticed outside of northern Ohio.

flashes last year of how he could be dominant if his outside shot was falling. He just couldn't seem to get it working consistently. Plus, with the defense having to gravitate to Melo, he doesn't draw quite as much defenisve attention in NY.
January 30th, 2014 at 11:28 PM ^
Points Rebounds Assists
KCP 7.3 2.3 1.0
Burke 13.3 6.0 3.0
Hardaway 8.6 1.0 1.0
Common Dumar apologists......tell us how KCP is the single most awesomest on and off ball defender since Dennis Rodman in his prime and that all the amazing things he contributes just dont show up on the stat line.

in fewest touches per possesion. Not fair to compare raw stats across the board.
Relevant to KCP's defensive prowness: http://www.pistonpowered.com/2013/12/pistons-starters-thanks-to-kentavious-caldwell-pope-actually-defending-well/
People saying KCP is a terrible pick needs to stop since he's a rookie who is the #5 option on the team with Jennings and Smith hogging the ball. Throw in Moose and Drummond. It's a wonder why KCP does not get any chances to shoot the ball.
If I'm Mo Cheeks, I would make Moose and Drummond my #1 focus with Jennings and KCP as my secondary scoring option and have Josh Smith not shoot the ball much unless it's an wide open 3 or layup/dunk. But since I'm not, Jennings and Smith are pulling the offense down with bad shot selections.
January 30th, 2014 at 11:34 PM ^
Hardaway's 29 points is actually tied for the biggest contribution to the Knicks' offense this evening, scoring more or less a quarter of all their points. This also comes with 3 defensive rebounds, 1 assist, and making the sole free throw he had to make. Yet again, it's great to see Wolverines contributing significantly at the next level.

He just got named the #1 star on SportsCenter as well. Cool to see him get so much attention on tv since we know this will affect our program prestige and recruiting.
