JR Smith is bad; and not bad meaning good, but bad meaning…bad.Â
“J.R. is a good-bad player, and we’re trying to take the bad out and magnify the good,” Karl said after using Smith for 30 minutes against the Rockets, when he shot 6-of-14, including 5-of-9 on three-pointers, and handed out four assists. “For me, there’s, as the game goes on, there’s a lot of ways I can try to win them. “And consistency, defense and a positive, good attitude would keep him on the court. But I don’t think he gives us always those three every night we play. Some nights I’ll tolerate his bad and some nights I’m probably going to go someplace else.”Â
