I actually was very pleased with the decision to let J.R. finish the game. Fields played well early on, struggled later. J.R., although missed a bunch of shots, didn't miss that many, and considering that this was his first game with us and no practice, played very well, and maybe letting him roll with it starting off his Knick career with closing the game out, and good, will be a great thing.Crazy⑧s;209436 said:Amazing win.
The ups, the downs, the huge comeback.
Fields sits the vast majority of the second half? Did he actually play in the second half? He was our best player in the first quarter.
Anyway, amazing win! JR Smith played well, took some pretty bad shots, but he'll catch on. Hasn't even practiced with the team so judging him now is unfair.
Amar'e needs to learn to defend the pick and roll and the back cut. Some very embarrassing moments for him tonight, not that he seems too concerned.
Melo is like Rivera we only need him to close games
Toney is like Burnett and JR is the Nick Swisher
this is fun LOL
But Burnett is gone and Swish is actually consistent, unlike JR...
I suppose Novak would be D-Rob.
Tyson Chandler is CC. A leader and brings out the best in everyone.

Although he took a couple of bad shots today mostly I saw him playing pretty unselfish. The only moment I cringed was when it was 20 seconds on the clock and he did a behind the back pullup 20 foot leaning back jumpshot... In the 4th... But it went in so :lol:
i cringed at the end when i thought he was gonna try to throw it down but he stopped and took the easy lay in. there were a couple times when he was looking to get jr smith points but for the most part he played for a new york knicks win.
Although taking 16 in your first game without any team practice shows you both: how fearless he as well as his lack team awareness. It worked out fine for now. Let's see how he is going to fit in.
