See it's good to stick with the kids and let them work it out. Fish put Acy in there to GLUE the unit together and Fish told them to run this nice little set they've been running and JR has actually been part of it!!!

Of course then JR takes a bad long 3... SMDH

In what whatever it is we do right

So I don't want to hear this mess about


Trying to morph players into this role

We need to find another point guard, a real one


Yes cuz we know there are "Real" PG's just floating around.

Phil better trade for one

He had an opportunity to sign one


Instead he signed Jason Smith

It's really not a huge issue. The key is what we just saw the Knicks do on that last play. Move and move the ball. Keep the spacing.

It's a huge issue, we need a backup point guard

Keep telling yourself different

Why?

If Larkin doesn't pan out we still have the proven prigioni and Shump in this system

KNicks Lose so they are the worse team ever.
mreinman @ 10/13/2014 10:03 PM
Larkins D is very troubling
F500ONE @ 10/13/2014 10:03 PM
I hope that shot by Smith

Finally does it for Phil


Like this was literally his

Last game as a Knick, Phil please do the right thing

mreinman @ 10/13/2014 10:04 PM
the last shot? All his shots!
Splat @ 10/13/2014 10:04 PM
Me likey Acy tho
gunsnewing @ 10/13/2014 10:04 PM
Outside of the beautiful chemistry between the starting lineup there were very little positives. Jason Smith was the only other positive besides the starters

To be honest this stems from his career longterm

But short term he played like this last game


It just happened to work so it was overlooked when we win

But any smart fan and student of this game


Knows if he's gonna continue playing like this

It's going to haunt us the whole yr.

Fish and Phil will have the most work to do on JR! We knew this coming in. JR and STAT were the guys least likely to pick up the concept of passing and playing smart.

The good news so far is Acy has shown his value as the energy guy we needed. Jose is everything we expected and Melo is starting to find his spots. Shump has looked good. I love the new Defense. When we have the right guys out there things look pretty solid defensively.

I really thought that maybe Phish can change him. From watching him tonight it looks like he could give 2 shyts.

positives where Melo shooting 4-6 and seems to be chucking less, and Shump getting 6 assists.

Splat @ 10/13/2014 10:08 PM
Don't worry about JR, Fish will make him third behind Shump and Timmy.

When he plays JR, he'll keep him him or sit him based on game momentum, but it won't be punishment or reward for playing the game right, because we all know JR is a dumb MF and he will never play consistently within any concept.

We just need a coach with some sense who pulls him quickly when he starts spazzing out.

P.S. That is my wishful thinking version of reality. I hope Fish is smart like that.

wouldn't that have been nice to see tonight? Fish pulling JR out/aside and ripping him a new azzhole?

gunsnewing @ 10/13/2014 10:10 PM
JR shouldn't play period. Not worth the headache. Get him off the team as soon as possible
mreinman @ 10/13/2014 10:11 PM
Amare was a sweet -22 - the POS has got to go/sit.
mreinman @ 10/13/2014 10:12 PM
oh ... and zero assists (of course)

Pre-season. Just wait. It's coming. Though maybe no tongue lashing, just "sit down" and silence. Then we'll get JR mouthing off to reporters again about not playing enough. That's the highest probability scenario IMO. Shump is # 1 in importance and Timmy is clearly more important to the club, so JR is going to used judiciously or barely or not at all, but I don't expect to see him featured often after pre-season.
