In JR's defense (seems as if no one else will go to bat for him) he did have a viral infection and fluid on the knee. If this is true, I respect him for not making excuses.

Injury and illness is one thing.

The constant partying and clubbing in the middle of a playoff run is another thing.

constant clubbing....because Rhianna says so on twitter??? There is NO documented proof or evidence to such a fact which, he himself denied.

.R. Smith was seen out at Greenhouse nightclub [following Game 2 against the Indiana Pacers, resulting in a win: 79-105] in support of Pop songstress Rihanna’s MAC Lipstick release party. Rihanna’s new “RiRiWoo” red lip has been flying off the online and in store shelves and needless to say girls are losing all chill to have another piece of Rih’s look.
J.R. took to his to Twitter showing all his followers how much fun he was having in the club just a few nights ago, immediately following Game 1 of the New York Knicks versus Indiana Pacers. His shortcomings played a huge role in the loss the Knicks left with after game 1 against the Pacers so comments flew — beginning with blaming his missed shots and poor focus during the game on his heavy drinking, and long nights in clubs.

these were taken during the playoffs???

Yeah, they were during the post-season.
There were rumors he was doing cocaine too but they may be completely false.

Well if this is all during the playoffs, If that's Rihanna next to him, her hair hasn't been red in over a year...Doesn't stop you from stretching this a far as you can with zero proof of anything huh...

I do not pretend to know what color her hair is everyday. It only takes a few hours to color the hair.
You're right I don't have legal proof. I never said I did.

And what's amazing is that it gives you no pause from making outlandish comments and accusations...

If the Knicks re-sign Smith, the $4.9 million added to their books simply increases the team's luxury tax bill. If they don't spend the $4.9 million on Smith, it doesn't mean they can spend the money on another free agent.

So, basically, it's either Smith or nothing.

OK, now I'm confused. It was posted like this was confirmed, now seems more conspiratorial than truthful...hmmm. In the absence of confirmation, I will not hate on JR at all. Seems we LOVE to believe the worst in our players.

The pics were all over the web during the playoffs and JR never denied it. He made believing the worst easy.

But he IS very good value at his price. Guess I can live with it.

because, there is an issue of what has been put out there by fans while the media (NBA.com) reported that JR was fighting some sort of bacterial infection and had fluid on the knee. If the latter is true, then I need to adjust my view of the guy. He was pretty DAMN GOOD during the season. IF he got ill during the post season, some here have be overly harsh without a good reason.

Lets leave it all on the court as to the truth.

Dude was playing great, then the elbow, then he got sick and a bad knee. The other fact is MSG will protect its players so to put out that he was sick and injured as a cover (Black flag media op) would not suprise me.

Nothing wrong with a young man going out after a game and having a few beers then up for an afternoon practice even during the playoffs. If he getting drunk and doing drugs not legal and not allowed by the league then its a problem.

JR is known to go on 2am bike rides and might have some sleep problems. His tweets if real are beyond my comprehension as I don't know those cryptic terms.

To me JR resigning is important because we over the cap and he was a real big piece of our success this year. If he was a true put together professional with great work habits and a personal life that was stable he could reach his all star potential and should be making 15mil a year!! But JR got problems and its why he was a FA who went to china and fell in our laps!

Top of the morning to you Nalod. I heard it on NBA gametime which is not a branch of MSG :)

I like JR and what he brought to the table offensively and his defense is better than people credit. Of the Knicks, I put Shump as the only better defender on the team. Heard Prigs will be back though which is also good news. I think he turned out to be a better facilitator than Kidd.

Rihanna's red hair was a big to do in the fashion world well over a year ago...Women had blogs all over the place trying to capture the right color scheme of her hair..If that is Rihanna's next to him in the picture then it's not a recent photo...But you always have to consider the source of information on this board..Let's just say some here aren't trying to paint a pretty or accurate picture of true events...

Thats not Rihanna in the 2nd pic im pretty sure. The first one was some big media buzz because Rihanna was spotted with Smith there and some other place and the 2nd pic is supposed went along with stories about JR getting drunk during playoff games. I dont think there was a claim that Rihanna was the girl in that pic. At least thats what I remember reading.

Fist of all, I could be wrong but those pictures wasn't posted with the original story...These are photos that can be had anywhere on the internet that people crop next to their personal assessment on what happened...JR said he wasn't out clubbing..But seems like Rihanna's tweets carry more weight...
