Atlanta Hawks @ New York Knicks 02.22 7:30PM

JR Smitty is the player of the game for me.

Dude was defending all night long and came up with alotta steals.

Also, BDiddy and JR have some chemistry going on now. Same with Lin and Fields.

[iSaYughh]

Safe to say JR was a worthwhile addition.

The depth he gave us in case of injury to Fields or Shump (ahem) was worth the 2.5 alone.

[CoolRunnings]

There are some really negative people on here damn.... We're up 20 and people still look for something to blame on Dantoni. I don't know how many people on here are Pro Basketball head Coaches but I'm going to assume none. The guy obviously knows what he's doing for him to be at that level and if he does get fired at the end of the season I can almost guarentee he will be picked up by another team.

Now if you ask me, are you a fan of Dantoni? My answer is simple....No

[MeloforMayor]

I don't see us getting JR back for next season though. Unless he takes a major pay cut like Haslem did in Miami. We have to resign Fields and Lin too.

Maybe BDiddy?

[ronoranina]

The f*ck is taking D'Antoni so long to get Jordan some minutes?

Doesn't he know how valuable he could be and recognize when the opportunity presents itself?

He sees the difference a big makes in TC, and this dude waits til' a minute left in a blowout. SMH

problem is Jordan sucks. i think d'ant understands that.

Yeah I don't get it either. There are a lot of things going on that we don't know about that could be influencing his small decisions or whatever so I don't get what the point is in complaining about it. We won, by a lot, and the decisions D'Antoni made this game contributed to that.

I don't wanna read too much into it due to the fact Atlanta were practically trying to throw us the ball but JR was active all game on D, dived on the floor for a few of those steals, all that good stuff.

The only bad thing I can say is he hoisted a couple of crappy fadeaways but it was a blowout so who cares?

Those alley oops with Baron????

Cosign... He's a guaranteed turnover, looks like a fish out of water. Needs a few years in the Dleague to secure a nice contract in China.

Seriously yo

Wow I remember you saying the same thing about Lin. Shall I post it here for you? Calm down man.

[BachaCho]

And to think this is w/o Shump....

Our defense could be legit top 10 in NBA. To go along with a top3 offense.

And the individual makeup of our team is championship caliber:

Depth
Defensive leadership from the 5
Defensive stalwart to guard the stud 1's and 2's in today's NBA
An elite closer and clutch shooter
A difficult to guard, offensive big
3pt snipers.

Yeah while the Knicks play some lockdown defense they also play sloppy ass defense and bad defense at times, same for the offense it has to start becoming more consistent

[Forrest17]

DId this game set the record for turn overs or no

[fakeknicksfan]

Jeremy did not get 20 points tonight. Let's trade him to Taiwan

Seriously yo

Dude plays crappy minutes and you talk about his game like you can really get anything out of it in that small amount of time. How quickly people forget about the Lin story.

[portega1968]

I suspect JR will explode tomorrow in Miami from downtown... Just a warmup before he tears up the clubs on South Beach. knicks gonna get the W in a battle for the ages... cANT WAIT DAMMIT

D'Antoni on Baron

"He's laid in bed for about 3 months"
