If JR had a decent IQ, dude could be a star player in this league.

Way a pass by D-Will. Beautiful play!

More bad defense.....wake the fkck up.


Anywho....JR Smith is the most polarizing guy....half the game you're cursing him out....half the game you're cheering his name.........

If Brooks would just work on the fundamentals of defense that he should have learned YEARS ago, he would get more PT. His defense is garbage tbh

[ihoopallday]

Those Williams passes

[Michael_Wilbon]

Nets just want this one more.

His offense outweighs his defense... team defense can mask it. He's shooting an absurd 60% or something for a guard for the year.

Come on Knicks,wake up. Time to play defense.

still there is no excuse for him to be that bad with his feet and hands defensively.

This is what you guys kept saying last game. Aren't you a good defensive team? Or just not against the Nets?

Depends. Great defensive team but in spurts. It seems like they don't play defense most of the time but then turn it up when they need it. Something like Miami does.

But sometimes you just can't turn it up and that's when the problems start.

i didn't say he was the same player. clearly he's not. but he's just as effective IMO. emphasis has shifted from certain types of things to other types of things. he's probably more effective as a player-coach than ever before, for one thing. can't help thinking that he's had a big influence in carmelo growing up this season, too. i had pretty much lost all hope for the dude before this season.

Please take Felton out. He is a momentum killer.

[Clutch]

Solution to beat the Nets: Send Raymond Felton on a vacation.
