What's interesting to me about that is that those two were allegedly close at one point. I remember an article a few seasons back, talking about how some Knick personnel were concerned with how close they were becoming and how JR might be a bad influence on him. It would be funny now if there was trouble in paradise.
Kenny Smith is losing his mind.

My eyes were away from the screen when it happened but that's interesting. Might resent outplaying him and still getting benched. Better stop getting caught on switches or its going to happen again. Other than that I like the energy he is bringing.
Yeah, I like Shump's edge tonight. I wonder what it's taken him so long to find it! Then again, it has to be frustrating to be losing time (and consequently money on his next contract) to JR. As much as we're up tonight, Smith's lack of intangibles is disconcerting. He really is a dumb basketball player, which is why I hope we finally move him back to the bench and find some guy worthy of being Melo's sidekick on offense.

Also unbalanced treatment can make you hate someone too. This whole thing has been a problem.
anyone notice how much less of a threat KG is without Rondo?

I was actually a little shocked that no one else came to Shumpert's aid. He was giving up 6 inches to Blatche, so you'd want the team to be a little more defensive.

Definitely believe it was the trade rumors. Looks like Shump reached a point where he said F it, and started playing with some fire again.

anyone notice how he's dropped the tough guy act now that he doesn't have any other goons on the floor with him?

He is Italian...probably just wanted to say hello
I told you guys Prokarov hired Kidd just because he was familiar with Woody's plays and just wants to beat the knicks
Bargs and Tyson will make a great defensive front line when they play together. God willing we make the playoffs, a good matchup with Indy this time....I hope.

Rondo would be very nice
barkley, kerr and marv...
the most objective commentators on the knicks eva!
double teaming from one pass away again.
I don't know how it took me so long but I just noticed Joey Crawford is reffing this game. Brace yourselves for some horrible calls in the 4th to keep this one close.

We need a good PG so bad, I'd be willing to risk his baggage at this point.
