all I know is I have one of those ugly ass organge Shump official jerseys... do I think he's going to be a stud? Not necessarily. But the kid can ball. I think his ceiling is somewhere in between The Mayor and Paul George

True Confessions and Rich, Dark Chocolate... with a caramel filling...

"Nalododian Somberbombastic Dolan Hatelove" is my view.

Nalodism is a sophisticated acquired taste that has an aftertaste like any expensive wine. You must cleanse your palette and consume it slowly. Allow the complex bouquet to challenge your tastebuds in abstract (but never fruity) ways.

Its a romantic notion for sure, but its how he sees it.

Yo. If it were not for the romantic notion of a deep playoff run, why would anyone bother to visit or comment? To download the frustration of things that have nothing to do with basketball?

We all know James Dolan is the debbil and the parent company is what is wrong with everyones cable bill. Mike Woodson is a pawn in Mongo's game of life... and would never, ever play JRSmith without a mandate to do so.... same way he was forced to fire his agent and switch to the superstar monopoly at Creative Artists. No choice.

When Head Coach Mike Woodson was forced to look down his bench for a sub... only to see Chris Smith wearing a Knicks uni, you really think he wasn't thinking... "dis ish right here is f#cked up." You think Woody's college coach woulda strangled... or thrown a chair at number zero?

You damn skippy.

Would Chuck Daly have stuck around NYC for a nanosecond longer than his fired General Manager?

Or would he have called Paulie Walnuts for some answers?

Let anyone with a sense of moral outrage turn down Mike Woodson's paycheck. Mike knows that Tim Hardaway Jr has more intelligence and dependablity than JR. He can only toe the company line and use sign language with the media for 10 minutes a day. Life is rough on the plantation. Even the self-described rebellious slave hisself, Larry Johnson, is back on he payroll.

Damn you Worldwide Wes.

This is the potential I saw in Shumpert which I hope is finally being realized. I actually believe being angry helped him snap out of it, he looked depressed and played with no energy when he thought that he was leaving NY. Took a while, but he finally shook off the trade rumours and got out of his funk.

I think that Shump and Melo are perfect together- The 2 players the media tell us should go- are the 2 I think should stay-
If you are still following the team and reading sites like this, there is nothing, short of your own demise, that is going to throw you off this train.

lmao... A guy who posts nothing but Melo hate for 3 years is calling you extreme? Good stuff.

I think it was more than something just clicking w/ Shumpert. I dont know who said what to him, but he's clicked. Who knows? I played hardball for 15+ years. The year I was getting divorced I couldnt hit. I struck out a ton and batted in the low 200s, and I usually batted around .350-.400

I never felt distracted, in fact I couldnt wait to get on the field and away from my personal crap. That being said I performed poorly. I was in shape. I was prepared. I was willing. It wasnt an effort issue. What did I learn? That mental focus goes beyond just telling yourself "get focused."

Who knows what was up with Shump. Maybe Woody said if he plays well he might get traded to a real team and these last 3 games was Shump's response


EVEN FUNNIER is a guy posting that questioning what is extreme... Great stuff..

Shump as a young player had to play with Dysfunction and was fed up with it, AND HE DIDN'T LIKE PLAYING THAT WAY.

When dysfunction left he had a piece of mind.

JAMES DOLAN on Isiah : He's a good friend of mine and of the organization and I will continue to solicit his views. He will always have strong ties to me and the team.

Shumpert has miles to travel in his development. Both his temperament and transition game need work. The good news is that winning ballplayers step up in the last five minutes.

The last five minutes is winning time.

Yes - he does. About once every 40 or so games.

tkf - "Do you ever let anything just play out?"

Sheesh Living Legend - why can't you simply have some patience and see how Shump's fourth quarter confidence plays out?

Shumpert is a throwback player I have more faith in him than anyone on this roster

Actually he has, he said once about every 40 games or so.. that is more than enough data to see how it played out..

You don't go from being a rookie to Michael Jordan in 100 career games

Has Shumpert played 100 games yet?

Has he ever gotten carte Blanche to shoot like JR?

Woodson probably gave him carte blanche to shoot just like JR.

Then yanked it right away from him, only to give it right back.

Dang.
