Sit JR and the Knicks can win this. Not only hasn't he been scoring but his defense has been so-so at best, Boston scored 2 critical threes and he was 20 ft from his man when Lee and Bradley took the shots.

IF MURRY can sit all time JR can do same

but Woodson allways know better


this team is working when no JR and no Felton

"dischemistry" if both on floor


January is very very strong schedule total elite

Pacers heat Rockets .........


so if Knicks wont win key games this season is lost
 
If JR Smith continues to play like garbage and manages to get major minutes in this game, it's basically Woodson telling the world that he doesn't care about this job any more. This is yet another big game for us simply because we have to show that we can start beating the other crap teams in the East in order to prevent our front office from making some crazy, future-killing trades over the next month. Let's go Knicks!

Man, we're lucky Nene is out.

is JR Smith the worst player in the NBA right now? Just looking at his numbers, its hard to argue at this moment.

He's definitely one of the strangest players. From being the 6th Man Of The Year the season before to this...yeah.

Breen is always saying the Knicks play better when Prigioni is on the floor. He's basically saying don't start Felton.
 
Shump and JR look afraid to play offense right now for fear of criticism. It makes our offensive sequences just look bizarre with them both as starters.

We're trying. D looks good but the extra pass on offense does more harm than good. We give up too many good shots.

When it comes to Woodson its spot-minute substitution instead of lineups thats beating him ....
When it come to the players its their poor defense thats beating them ....
When it comes to JR.smith its inconsistent games or inconsistent seasons ..
Woody were supose to start JR this season to calculate how much playintime he gets in the 2nd half of a game.
 
JR can't be out there at this point. You could make every shot he makes worth double and he still wouldn't be worth it.
