His minutes are up.
His shot attempts are up.
His assists are up.
His Free throw pct is up.
As i stated before his 3 pt jumper is off. The increase in his mins and shot attempts will impact his shooting and 3pt percentage.

I am not sure if you noticed but Jamaal is often stuck with the ball as the 24 sec clock expires.

JAMAAL IS NOT THE PROBLEM!

Its Crawford’s shot SELECTION that has been alot more suspect under Isiah, especially late in close games. Jamal continually takes difficult, contested shots when he’s cold (he’s shooting .391 FG% and .294 3pt% this year), and he seems to have the green light to do so. That’s a coaching issue.

The disappointing part is that he seemed to respond well to strict coaching, and was a more efficient player under LB.

A final thought: The one guy that can really help the Knicks is Channing Frye. Raising his level of play will make all this chatter moot!

My kneejerk response is trade Nate for anyone or anything. Truthfully speaking, Nate might be more tradeable right now that he ever will be. He is a very young proven scorer that has not yet proven that he is uncoachable. . . and he has entertainment value.

That?s right I said it. Jarred Jeffries at the point! How about creating mismatches in the Knicks favor. In the Clipper game we saw the benefits of the big guard.

OH how se seem to forget that RIP was traded from the Wizards to Detroit because was not getting it done in Washington. Yes RIP is now learning the dribble penetration. For years all he did was run his defender off screens to get his shot. That is why he was compared to Reggie Miller. Now RIP has augmented his game to include the dribble penetration. Having said that RIP is a great player but it took time to get there.

I am not disagreeing with Jamaal inefficiencies. I just saying he has tremendous upside. And Isaiah get blamed for bad coaching because Jamaal is missing his wide open three pointer. Nothing said about the play that was run to get Jamaal the open shot but the coaching is bad because he misses.

As for David Lee, he should be starting.

As for Nate, it is not enough to say trade him. For whom?

My mistake. When you said “Jamaal?s brain has yet to notice there is anyone else on the court besides Jamaal and his defender” I thought you were complaining that he was hogging the ball and not noticing his teammates. I guess you were saying something else. Sorry.

Couldn’t agree more. With the right guidance, Crawford could be a lot more consistent. Though he makes poor decisions, he is a more creative scorer than Hamilton, more apt at taking defenders off the dribble, and a better finisher.

Crawford was the best player on the team in the last half of the 05-06 season under LB. He limited his contested, fadeaway three point shots, and seemed like a better decision-maker. This year, especially in the 4th quarter, he gets the ball in the final seconds, and has taken horrible shots. Part of the blame though has to go to Isiah’s “coaching”. He has clearly given Crawford the green light to shoot whenever/wherever, much to Jamal’s detriment.
