Stunts, Blunts & Basketball: The 2013-14 New York Knicks Season Thread

Shump Is FAR From The Problem On This Team

He's a big problem ( along with Felton and coaching and chandler injury , jr stupidity ) . His role is supposed to be a elite perimeter defender he isn't that this year at all . So what other role does he fill ? Really he should be honored to be trade bait .

You Put Shumpert On A Pedestal Then Get Mad When He Doesn't Live Up To Your Godly Expectations

Shump Has His Flaws, And He Can Be Overzealous On Defense Sometimes, Doesn't Take Away That He's A Very Good Defender

The BEST?? No But A Very Good One

That Call Tonight Could Have Went Either Way, The Asked Shump About It He Said "I Contested The Shot" I Hate That It Got Called But What You Gonna Do? Iman Average Damn Near 2 Steals A Game And He Deflects The Ball Alot And Gives People Fits, He Does Whats Asked Of Him

shyt He Had 5 Steals Tonight

shut up

You shut up .

"Lazily played" "It was absolutely a foul"

Nicca should know better and to me (a noted homer it looked too much like a foul )

refs get on some steez in the 4th smh, Shump barely touched him if he touched him at all

Yeah butt look at the situation and how he fouled him .

I'm sorry but I'm with @23statcity on this one. Shump has to be smarter than that, no question. The game was in the bag

JR Smith +/- was -11

Iman Shumpert +/- was a +6

PG was able to score anyway he wanted to on JR Smith during OT

God only knows why Woodson left Shump on the bench to Start OT

The Team plays better when Prigs is on the floor, he doesn't shoot the ball 15 times like Felton but the team is still better. Same goes for Shumpert.

Why was. THE game in overtime in the first place ?? Doesn't that minus 6 stat include overtime in a game where we lost by what 6 with jr on the floor and no shump ? I agree about prigs .

Soooooo let me get this straight. When Shump barely touches the opposing team's player who just misses a three BADLY it is a foul. But when Melo gets bumped on the game winner it's not a foul? How about those times where Melo gets slapped upside his head where his headband flies off is that not a foul. If you are going to be calling these little contact fouls for the opposition then you need to call the same type of fouls for the Knicks. There is no consistency with the refs at MSG. And for the most part it's always against the Knicks. If you are not going to call the game fairly on both sides of the ball then what is the sense of playing the game. The Knicks could have put this game away easily many times but they missed open shots and take bad shots. Ill admit that but again this game was taken away from us due to the refs favoring the opposition. It needs to be addressed and Woodson should speak on it. As much as I like him for the most part I wish Jeff Van Gundy was our coach because he would not tolerate this bs from the refs. He would call their bytchasses out already and he would be willing to play people like Murray.

I'm not putting him on a pedestal . If your part of the untradeable bandwagon you are . People saying he can't be traded for even rondo and shyt . I'm holding him accountable for his consistently poor decision making on the perimeter and with his fouls

I just dont get why the refs treat the team like shyt. Makes no sense.. Bad enough player chemistry wise and coaching wise were not set up to win but the refs pour salt in the wound.

Look everyone keeps saying barely touched but look at the spot of the foul and the situation . He was going up for a 3 in clear view shump reached out and maybe grazed his arm or whatever causing his shot to be short. Adding to the illusion of fouling . Melo we already know gets sccrewed by refs and has to be murdered to get a ft and pg played him smarty not really using his hands but being physical since the refs don't care

I been saying since last year the regs give the Knicks no home court advantage . Teams are allowed to oppose there will at our hom

I've Said Time And Time Again, Anyone On This Team Can Go IDGAF, I Don't Care About Names And Faces, I Care About Wins And Losses, But Im Not Gonna Be Cool With Dolan Taking A Bad Deal For Shump Based On Some Bullshyt

 

[Boolean]

i wouldn't say untradable but he definitely has his worth on this team, i want to know who guards the other teams best perimeter player when hes gone

JR
Junior
Melo
Peace
Rondo :nonikka's:

What's a bad deal ?

 

[Da King]

And to think y'all would talk shyt about the Spurs

 

[PIFF101]

West Coast trip I hope to see results. Melo played hard. Shump is not the same.

 

[ThaBronxBully]

What's a bad deal ?

Receiving Something Back That Doesnt Make Sense For This Team, Trading Him Out Of Spite Just To "Shake Things Up" You Already Seen The Results When This Front Office Does shyt On A Whim

 

[KingJudah]

The team basically been shytting on shump. In his defense. When wrote about the rumors crushing his spirits I believe him 100%

hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
