JR played a great game but I am still scratching me head at that shot

To call it wild is a false observation of the game and/or play.

And most agree, hence no comments on this thread that should just be locked.

You're thinking of a different shot. This came after we called a timeout with 40 seconds left in the game. There was plenty of time on the shot clock, JR just made a terrible play.

I believe the idea was to get a quick shot attempt up in order to maximize the number of possessions the Knicks could get. The shot went in and out. Not a huge deal to me. He was taking and hitting bad shots all game. It's what he does.

Exactly.

We needed more than 24 seconds on the clock. JVG pointed it out just before.

Maybe watch the game again with the sound and you will know why the shot was taken. Also, they collapsed on melo I believe.

One thing tho, people expect role players to play like superstars through out an entire game...They expect them to execute on every possession...It's a bit much..JR had a very good game yesterday...Be happy with that...

I think helloharv is just confused and wants to know what happened at the last shot, a bunch of people knew why and it seems it has been explained.

He doesn't seem to be a long time Knicks game watcher and isn't as up.

Great team educational effort. :-)

Great game...all around by jr. I think we will be murder when....
Brewer returns to form from injury
Shump is back out there
Amare returns and plays defense like he has under Woodson all along.

Those damn orange uniforms screamed "hey ref, call a foul on ME!"

Why would we talk about a game against Miami? We played LA last night.
