Papabear Says
I do believe that Shump have a problem with management and he is showing it on the court maybe to get even with Woody? Dolan? Shump is spoiled and he was one of my favorite players. JR Smith ? well you saw what he did the other night when he took one shot. If thats not tampering with a game plan. He was angry for some time now. Felton do not want to be traded he loves the Knicks but he is not a starter and he can't keep a point guard in front of him. He couldn't do it when he didn't have an injury.
as a team they totally ignore the 3 point shooters and a point guard driving to the basket. Now you may not like Woody but how many times have Woody and the other coaches went over this with them. I've seen this team quit in the first quarter like they don't care. That 41 point lost to Boston was like throwing the game. Any D league team would have done better.
I think this may be a sstretch. As far as Shumpert is concerned, we were building this guy up as Paul George light or something. He has no offensive game whatsoever. I think it may be dawning on him that his big payday may not happen and no he has had his confidence shot/is pressing. I've seen him air ball several wide open 3s, so I could Def see why you would think he is doing it on purpose. It's almost unbelievable. JR is basically insane so he may be gone for good. If somebody can bring him back to earth that would be nice.
Jr and Chump are both sulking and not giving full effort- Amare called both of them out after the boston game when asked about them, saying that when he's struggling he works harder in practice and after the game. Don't like either of them at the moment- and Chump used to be my favorite player.

Shump is young gotta be toguh hearing trade rumors every day, but he does start for the team and should play better.
JR can kick rocks though


Step aside shallow water and let the deep sea roll.
Immature non professionals is what you get when you have little assets to grow with pedigree players.

I said in my other thread there is stuff going on behind the scenes and the avg fan acts like nothing is going on and the players are just bad.
Not true, the only way to get back at an owner or coach is to do what V.Carter did in Toronto and what Shump is doing with Woody love affair with JR..
These guys don't want to play the game anymore, they want to win !
They could care less what the fans think. When they get traded then you will see how goo they really are.
Some might say these guys aren't professional for slacking, well tell me this is the coach or owner acting professional ???
Fans who can't see this is blind.
No, they just sucked. A guy on a rookie contract who hasn't gotten a big contract yet throwing games? That's ridiculous

I'm not going to say he's throwing games, that's just a result of him not going all out.
Knicks are just missing him playing like they know he could. The results are knicks lose more games.
A few games back he played with fire and desire, to show somebody he's fine, he's just not going all out for Woody on a regular basis.
Vince Carter did the same thing in Toronto, when they just used him, and had no intemnntion on trying to win big.
You need your legs to shoot.
Could it be that some of our guards are coming off major knee surgery?
Damn
