Head and shoulders above the Knicks

I didn't watch last nights loss to the Indiana Pacers for two reasons.

The first, I was just very tired and wanted to relax and get some early sleep.

The second reason was because I knew they were going to lose miserably and I could always watch the game again on NBA League Pass.

Before the playback after work all I heard from Knicks fans and so called sports talk hosts was how bad Raymond Felton was and is such a disgrace. Well I can say that they all were full of shit. Raymond was the only aggressive player the entire game. Did Raymond make some mistakes and turn the ball over, yes because the rest of his team didn't match his hustle.

We all know that Raymond is not an all star point guard but I really am sick of all the left over Jeremy Lin fans knocking the guy every chance they get. Stop acting like a bunch of fuck boys and root for the guys you have. What other choice is there?

As for why the Knicks lost? It was because the Pacers slowly built an outstanding team, allowed their young unbridled talent stay with in a system for several years to mature and looked internally for stars to develop.

Now this team is head and shoulders above the Knicks in every facet of the game including professionalism, coaching and toughness. But you guys have Carmelo Anthony. LOL

Knicks lose again, Pacers 117 - Knicks 89

JR Smith the voice of reason?!?

Only God, Woodson and James Dolan know why JR smith didn't play last night against the Bobcats.

I do know that the team had zero energy and could have used Smith if he was mentally prepared to attack the rim and shoot enough to unburden Anthony.

Carmelo expended most of his energy the previous evening to defeat the Suns in overtime and didn't have his shot in last nights game.

Would JR have been enough to beat the Bobcats especially with no interior defense to contest Jefferson? Probably not but the Woodson/Dolan dog house is now getting in the way of opportunities to be competitive.

JR Smith was the voice of reason after the game when he stated that if he isn't going to help then he shouldn't be there. If I were a Knick fan I would hope that management took that statement seriously and moved Smith before the deadline.

Smith's 18 points can and will be made up by the Shumpert/Hardaway combination and they are both better defenders than JR. Even a late round draft pick for Smith would be worth doing a little house cleaning. 

Who would have thought that JR smith would have been the voice of reason in that organization?!?

However, the Knicks lose again Charlotte 108 - Knicks 98
