If JR doesn't get 6th man of the year its a crime

Crawford's handles blow Smith out of the water.

how the hell does 'handles' have any relevance into who deserves 6MOY? Do you hear yourself?

JR is a 20ppg scorer if he took smarter shots :\

Jr have a better haircut.

Why the **** would you need to stan for 6th man of the year? Jesus, are Knick fans this desperate to win ANYTHING?

What does supposed defense have anything to do with an award that is determined on stats as well?

.2 more steals, .1 more block with 1.9 more fouls. So there "defense" :yawn:

knicks and clips never win anything. let us fight it out

How do you win 6th MOTY if you're averaging over 33 minutes a game? That's starter minutes!

Steals and blocks tell the whole story.

People aren't allowed to want a player on their team to win an award now? how does that constitute to being desperate? I guess talking about Miami's stupid streak as if the media isn't shoving down everyone's throats enough would be a more appropriate conversation here.

JR Smith is such a chucker. You pretty much know you have no chance of winning a championship with him as your second leading scorer.

When it comes to an award that has very little to do with defense, and very much to do with stats, yes it does.

And if you go by DRTG, Smith is 106, Craw is 108, so per 100 possessions, a unit with Crawford as opposed to Smith gives up a whole field goal more.

Opponent PER per48 by position:

Smith gives up a per of 12.9 at SG and 17.0 at SF. Craw gives up 11.2 to SGs and 12.9 to SFs.

But hey, they still have nothing to do with a stat based award but this better defender crap is really

To be fair to the Knicks and J.R., he's had to have a larger role than envisioned due to injuries.

Same way dudes like Ginobili win it.

Crawford has been better. He's a much better scorer and if you watch the games you'll see his impact. The Clippers play garbage offense and it's all about him going ISO. He's still shooting 44%. He's better from the field, from 3, from the FT line. J.R. Smith does play good overall defense and he's a good rebounder. He's also a talented playmaker but his shot-jacking has been annoying and is part of why the Knicks are last in assists. Credit to him, he doesn't turn the ball over much.

Jarrett Jack has also been better.
