J.R. Smith

Far from lost in the excitement of the New York Knicks’ victory over the Miami Heat was J.R. Smith, the ever-erratic shooting guard turned punchline. Quite literally, he was lost. For the entire game. Knicks coach Mike Woodson didn’t play Smith Thursday night following his latest gaffe, a $50,000 fine for “recurrent instances of unsportsmanlike [...]

Impossible might not be the perfect word, but it’s pretty damn close. The New York Knicks are reportedly shopping J.R. Smith, the mercurial shooting guard and reigning Sixth Man of the Year who was just fined $50,000 for a peculiar shoelace fetish, according to ESPN’s Marc Stein and Ian Begley. From ESPN New York: While [...]

Drama, drama, drama. You knew this season was going to be tough for the New York Knicks. Not 10-21 and tied-for-the-third-worst-record-in-the-Eastern-Conference tough, but tough enough. Speculation was bound to ensue with Carmelo Anthony preparing to explore free agency for the first time of his career. You just knew it. But it wasn’t supposed to be [...]

Ring in 2014 with some glazed donut face ass. What, you don’t know what that is? Seriously? Carmelo Anthony, do you believe these peeps? Totally not aware of glazed donut face asses, which are all the rave this holiday season? I’m ashamed of the human race right now. For those of you who do know, [...]

Hand it to Carmelo Anthony—he’s never afraid. Some people would be inclined to panic following the New York Knicks’ loss to the Charlotte Bobcats at home. While it’s still early in the season, the Knicks are 1-3, and 1-2 at Madison Square Garden. Not the kind of start you expect from a purported title contender. [...]

Meet Carmelo Anthony, scorer of baskets and saver of lives. After J.R. Smith was suspended five games for violating the NBA’s anti-drug policy, ‘Melo said he had a “heart-to-heart” with the New York Knicks shooting guard and reigning Sixth Man of the Year, according to ESPN New York’s Ian Begley. “The time is now,” Anthony [...]

You knew this one was coming. For the 12th-year running, the NBA polled all 30 of its general managers on the happenings of the league. Questions ranged from “Which team will be most improved in 2013-14?” to “Which player is best at moving without the ball?” to “Why in the hell won’t the Boston Celtics [...]

As one Adam Fromal would say: Hahahahaha. An ESPN system called SCHOENE predicted the New York Knicks to finish 37-45 this season, per the New York Post‘s Marc Berman, which is hysterical. The Knicks went 54-28 last year, meaning they’d have to be 17 games worse in 2013-14. Again, hysterical. Carmelo Anthony wasn’t laughing, though. [...]

The New York Knicks were old last season. Really old. Historically old. And Raymond Felton knows it. While at Macy’s in Herald Square making an appearance on behalf of Under Armour, Felton pointed out that New York’s roster was too old season and ultimately cost the team a shot at the title: We’re a younger [...]

Where is the love? The Brooklyn Nets and New York Knicks do not like each other. More specifically, Paul Pierce does not like the Knicks, and J.R. Smith doesn’t like the Nets. Those two have been fueling this rivalry since the Boston Celtics helped make Brooklyn a legitimate title contender. Both parties have gone back [...]
