Once he makes up his mind to play basketball, he is amazing. He dove to the floor on defense and made a dunk in traffic that would be considered a great move with no one on him.

He makes us better. For better or worse.

I'm so confused.

Trade him!

Jr Smith is streaky as you can get. Some nights he looks like the best player on teh floor and some nights he looks lost

I know what you mean....Good JR takes the ball to the rack with gusto. Bad JR over dribbles and then settles for off balance, long distance fade way jumpers....When he takes it to the rack and catch and shoots, he's all good with me....

Doctor Strange

He made an improvised move off the dribble, punctuated by a Starks-like dunk, look effortless.

So weird.

With JR it isn't so much how he starts but how he finishes, and he has not finished well since becoming a Knick. Still would trade him for an upgrade at PG but Im glad his game is showing signs of life.

StarksEwing1 @ 1/30/2014 8:44 PM

The thing with JR is trusting him. His talent is undeniable BUT the guy is a headcase. Even last year was his bets year on and off the court until the boston series where he became and idiot and really cost the team bigtime

He had a ridiculously bad run. His game flaws and character flaws seemed to dominate the first two months of the season. Hopefully his on court issues were related to recovery from surgery.

misterearl @ 1/30/2014 8:53 PM

Crush - knee injuries are never fun. We are finally seeing Smith take it inside.

Doctor Strange is impossible to predict.

RonRon @ 1/30/2014 9:05 PM

I have said I believe he would return to his former last year self as the injury slowed him down a bit
He also loss some motivation from getting a contract BUT he has a player option on 2015 and he will be looking for a long term deal if possible

While many have said to trade him, I believed it would have been a horrible decision to sell low
I think he would have a even better year when next season begins, motivated by his player option, in which we would likely to sell him at his peak if we are interested in trading him

Trade him while his value is decent. Dude will always disappoint when it matters most.

+1, we have our answer at SG and it's not JR.

Cartman718 @ 1/31/2014 1:37 AM

someone probably knocked him upside his head and said... play ball. ur not getting traded anyway since your value is so low.

Thank you for Tim Hardaway Jr

And here i'm thinking he only plays like he did last night when he doesn't go out partying the night before. Smh

IronWillGiroud @ 1/31/2014 7:53 AM

there is some fire in his ass now, i hope it keeps burning

gunsnewing @ 1/31/2014 8:05 AM

Trade him now!!

JonsTintedTails @ 1/31/2014 8:18 AM

He has seemed more motivated recently. After the shoe lace thing, he signed off on Twitter and has basically stuck to it.

I'd like to recant nothing I said about JR
