Fast Break: A Reminder of How Coach Karl is Backwards With Respect to Timing J.R. Smith
It is so simple yet Karl can not come to strategies like the following. What you do is start J.R. Smith every game and find out how he's doing in each particular game. If he's terrible, don't play him at all in the 2nd half. If he's alright or great, you do give him more minutes in the 2nd half. But no matter how outstanding Smith is playing, do not have him in very close games in the last 2-3 minutes: he's not mature enough yet for last minute game in the balance decisions.
Karl pretty much has it backwards: he does not want to ever start JR Smith, but then for some strange reason he wants to have him in a very close game in the last couple minutes. This doesn't make any sense to me.

Editorial Notes: A "Fast Break" is a short and quick preview of some of the topics that will be explored and proved in more detail in upcoming regular reports. Fast Breaks will often reappear in full reports with only minor reediting, but there will be more important details, more evidence, and more implications and explanations in the full reports. Moreover, there will be topics that never appear in any Fast Break in a full Report.
Fast Breaks are especially useful for the first few days after major news breaks. They are also very useful for people who will seldom or never have enough time to read a full Game/Team/League Report. Fast Breaks are the type of article that more typical web logs feature almost all or all of the time.
