JYD Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 I think it's a good thing. For Lin's confidence and his health. And probably for the Knicks as a team, too. I'd play Bibby 25-30 minutes (assuming it's close) and give TD23 some action late 1st/early 2nd and see if he brings anything to the table. Going with a Smith/Fields/Melo/Amare/Chandler lineup is always plausible too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JYD Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 (edited) I love that line up for the Knicks.I don't love it, but it does bring some advantages. It's a great rebounding lineup, and it's a good defensive lineup as well. Not much playmaking and ball movement though, which can lead to the stagnation which we've come to see in this series. Also, if JR is cold, it can be brutal to watch as far as shooting goes. They deny Melo the ball, and give JR and Fields shots that don't go in... I fully expect Bibby to play quite a bit if the game is close. Bibby was pretty good the other day, and they really don't guard him, so he can get some open looks.

fish7718 Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 I love that line up for the Knicks.Trust me, it sucks, JR Smith can't handle a ball or pass to save his life, Landry Fields just flat out sucks at shooting, it end's up just going to Melo and everyone watching him trying to make a play. Good job avoiding the sweep but, no Lin no chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a [expletive]ing clown. And Lin wasn't going to do shit in this series anyway. No idea why you think he was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea why you think he wasI hope you are joking, JR smith is god awful at dribbling, he does that one dribble crossover through the legs every game, and it usually is coupled into a horrible fade away deep 2 or a 3. Straight up handles dude is whack, I'm sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JYD Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 (edited) Lmfao if you think JR Smith can't dribble He's not a PG but he can handle the ball. If u were ever played with him or against him it'd be the best handle u ever been on a basketball court with! to say he can't dribble is hilarious! Jared Jeffries is someone who can't dribble lol Edited May 8, 2012 by JYD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JYD Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 (edited) Lmao not even that's his go to move for sure he likes that move because it always produces a good clean look. He's actually gotten quite a few good looks in this series but he's just missed a ton of shots cuz hes so streaky i don't think smith is a great ball handler, but he isnt a terrible ball handler. i don't understand that. for someone 6'6-6'7ish he's definitely a fine ball handler.

Smith is not a good ball handler end of story. I'm sorry I don't know where you got in your head that he's good be he constantly loses control over the ball even when it isn't touched...
