In Case You Missed It: JR Smith Demonstrates His Impressive Basketball IQ a la Bargs

[no pun intended]

Shot an unnecessary three when there was less than 24 seconds left in the tied game.

[DStebb716]

Completely different situation. Another shitty thread. Game thread. The end.

Damn that was some quick uploading. Thanks.

It wasn't so stupid. He was wide open and the game was tied, he went for the win. Bargs could have holded the ball and wait for the foul as Knicks were ahead.

well considering they could have just let the game go into OT...

23 seconds left and a chance to give it to your best player and you decide to shoot a 3? Lowest pct shot you can possibly take. :wtf: (Mike Woodson needs to bench his ass for at least 10 games)

Coach Popovich would've exploded if he was playing for the Spurs. :facepalm

[hitmanyr2k]

That's a typical JR Smith low IQ play. Instead of using clock management and holding for the last shot he does what you expect JR Smith to do.

[It's A VC3!!!]

that wasn't stupid at all. that was as wide as jr smith will ever be. that shot was just a bit strong. the foul was pretty stupid though. refs will always call it when you run into a player the way udrih did.

[imdaman99]

Thats not even the only dumb thing JR did at the end of the game. Harden is dribbling and loses the ball, JR ties him with 1 second on the shot clock. 1 FCKING SECOND ON THE FCKING SHOT CLOCK. WHILE HARDEN IS ON THE FLOOR. I CANT STAND THIS STUPIDITY AT THE END OF GAMES. I was screaming in the air, I have woken the dogs at my neighbors :roll:

JR has obviously burnt himself out with all that weed he's smoked. Plz get him off the team.

[Element]

JR 3/13 no fvcks given

Hes gonna go back home do some g.ay ass wine and dine s.hit with his baby brother Chris and then continue to homos.ex him

Typical JR Smith

[iDunk]

I blame Udrih for passing the ball to him in the first place & then fouling.

[ripthekik]

Definitely is stupid. If you hold the ball you get a win or OT situation. That's great. Instead, after he shot it, even he made it, Rockets could still tie. And if he missed it, other team gets the chance to win, and they did. :facepalm

[Eric Cartman]

The Bargnani was one was really bad, this one was bad but not to the same extent and still people find a way to blame Melo :facepalm

[Connor B]

For people saying it wasn't stupid, you are retarded. He/they could have run the clock out and taken a shot at the end, or better yet taken a timeout, and then taken the last shot. You never give the other team an opportunity to have the last possession if you have it tied and can run the clock out on your terms.

[no pun intended]

lmao he's backk

[GoRapz]

JR had a wide open 3. It wasn't THAT bad but if you don't make it you better make sure you/someone on the team gets the rebound by any means

[Draz]

We really gonna act like Carmelo wouldn't of taken that wide open shot.

[CelticBaller]

really, you don't want to give the other team another opportunity

[FreezingTsmoove]

HAHAHA JR JUST SAID POSTGAME HE TOOK THE SHOT CAUSE HE THOUGHT THEY WERE DOWN 2. I understand tho ive seen pot abuse turn my peers into some dumb people

If he hits the shot no one says shit about his IQ. It's easy to dissect things in retrospect

He should have waited to shoot but didn't. Whatever, the milk is spilt

Ummm no...Anybody with a brain knows it was a dumb shot REGARDLESS...Of course people woulda been happy if it went in, still doesn't mean it was not a dumb shot...It was a dumb shot, period....Evan a monkey knows that...

At least Bargnani knew it was a bad shot the moment he launched it. JR is all like 'what?'

Can you blame him? You have Knicks fans that agree with him, lol..:lol

I said in my post that it was a stupid shot. I'm not really sure who you're addressing

How is that possible? :biggums:

[Done_And_Done]

You hold the ball and ensure your best player and most iso efficient eventually receives it. That being Melo...

[Eric Cartman]

How the hell is JR shooting only 60% from the line? :biggums:

[brantonli]

I'm not sure if that makes it better or worse. The fact that he didn't even know what the score was at such a crucial moment, or he still thought that jacking up a 3 with 20 seconds left and giving the Rockets a chance to win it was a good idea.

[East_Stone_Ya]

bonehead

[robert de niro]

Knicks waived the wrong Smith

[Pra]

He'll find his way back to China soon enough :roll: :roll: Will the Knicks do what the Suns did to Beasley and waive/pay off his entire contract? It's a shame JR played well last season.

[stephanieg]

I blame Udrih for passing the ball to him in the first place

"You ****ed up! You trusted me!"

Didnt bargnani do this a week ago?


Knicks tanking hard

A bad shot is a bad shot. If he hits that shot its dumb, and I think most people with a reasonable amount of bball knowledge knows this. There is no dissecting going on here. Bad shot plain and simple regardless of results.
