He is sucking so bad, and he was playing pretty well as a starter... Jarred Jeffries is doing NOTHING so just start the guy cuz we cant afford him to be this out of rythem out there

Also whatever isiah is doing with Jamal coaching wise is not working. He obviously has the opposite philosophy from LB but Jamal is the kind of player that needs the strict LB type of coaching.

Jamals Defense was actually good at some points i remember and it has totally dissapeared. Isiah has him doin watever he wants out there, he needs to disciplin him and make him focus on D/SHot selection/getting to the basket

He is playing like crap and you want to PROMOTE him to a starter? It's not only the stuff he does on the offensive end, it's the non-existance of his defense. I want him traded, not starting. He is an awful player and one that personifies all that is wrong with the Isiah Knicks.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

it's not a coincidence that he was playing better as the orchestrator of the game tonight... 23 & 9 is a good line for any PG... he missed some 3's that hurt us & had a hard time getting into the flow in the 1st half coming off the bench as usual, but he was great in the 2nd half... had a few defensive lapses tho covering GP.

jamal doesn't have to start. jamal has to learn how to play the damn game.

those alleyoops to curry don't make us a better team. him learning how to defend and take better shots will.

until then, he will forever be a pansy.

Jamal's had a much bigger positive impact in more games this season than Channing, Nate, Jefferies, Balkman, Collins, Malik, Cato, Turd & Francis combined.

He's also had a much bigger negative impact in more games than those players combined.

i call BS on that one... lack of a positive contribution counts here too... those guys not being any impact on either side of the floor for much of the season hurts this team, whether you care to admit to it or not... that's why i keep calling for Balkman & Cato to be used more & for Jamal to be put into the position where he's looked on as an orchestrator & not as a scorer... i think that will help this team more than you probably think it will.

jamal is miscast on this team.

he's a 6th man that should be coming off screen for midrange jumpshots...and that's it.

he should never be allowed to take a 3 point shot or take that pansy ass floater. he needs to either take it hard to the hole to draw contact (something he's deathly afraid of) or he needs to take a midrange jumper.

no more 1 on 1 moves.

and everytime he lets a 39 year old guard go around him, he needs to get benched. he's got to man up.

I want to bring this up again do not forget how good he was last year and how good he is capable of being. Isiah just isnt coaching him correctly you cannot give John Starks the green light
