They'll get it together in the 2nd half.

The coaching staff is at fault for this. No rookie should be shooting 14 shots in a half.

They could just have wanted to see what he could do as more of a SG tonight. Teams do experiment from game to game you know. Especially against teams that aren't playing well. MDA has really gone to the bench tonight too. I think he was trying to save STAT and Melo for a strong 2nd half run, by seeing if Shump could catch fire.

I mean think about it. They have never played like this since Iman has been starting. He's been very much under control and not being aggressive. I'm positive that this was an attempt to save STAT and Melo for the 2nd half.

Sorry any other coach in the NBA would've pulled Iman immediately. 15 shots in the 1st half by a rookie PG that's not the primary option or secondary option would've been benched.

D'Antoni is not making this team better.

ChuckBuck @ 1/12/2012 9:36 PM
Please D'Antoni take him out!
ramtour420 @ 1/12/2012 9:37 PM
Oh no. Melo
nykshaknbake @ 1/12/2012 9:37 PM
Well either way we're still in it. And there's no way Shump repeats the 1st half.
misterearl @ 1/12/2012 9:38 PM
This is a moment that you insert Jeremy Lin to send a message to DShumpert... and see if Lin has the will to play with starters.

Otherwise, he is simply a wasted uniform.

D'Antoni has no control of this squad.

What happened to Melo?
Childs2Dudley @ 1/12/2012 9:38 PM
Carmelo should not play the next few games. Can't risk playing him with all these injuries. We need him for when it counts.
FoeDiddy @ 1/12/2012 9:39 PM
This grizzled team is scary to play. Not their talent but how hard they play. A injury is bound to happen. Like the old guy at the park who hustles too much. U don't want that guy sticking u cause he is gonna some how hit u in the nuts.

He rolled his ankle. He also hurt his wrist in the first quarter.

Slight twist of the ankle. I guess enough to merit a trip to the locker room.

Damn.. These are the games he usually brings us back.

Knicks making Rudy Gay look like Michael Jordan.
Sangfroid @ 1/12/2012 9:43 PM
Now the original chucker is in the game.

Oh boy let the 3 point parade begin.

Whom is This Iman Shumpert tonight in Memphis ? I dont know this Shumpert tonight
This isn't the same dazzling rookie we seen before last night 76ers game.

I like Iman but he's jacking up more shots than Kobe Bryant ever done & Kobe
is a hall of famer champion.

Shumpert is taking shots with 5 on NONE back and most of Knicks shoot when No
Knick is underneath basket for a rebound.

Knicks 6-4 is good but they all seem to have a disease of "going to the lane"
or driving to basket for score attempt.

Shumpert 15 shots ? 1st half in Grizzlie-land ?
What's going on here ?

ChuckBuck @ 1/12/2012 9:45 PM
Disappointing performance against a Memphis team without Zach Randolph and Darrell Arthur.
misterearl @ 1/12/2012 9:46 PM
This team is playing as selfish as they ever have.

The score is irrelevant. Bad habits are contagious.

Not cool.
