During the Knicks' 92-80 win over the Dallas Mavericks on Jan. 5, at American Airlines Center, Smith untied the shoelace of Mavericks' forward Shawn Marion during a free throw attempt. After Smith was warned by the league office to refrain from further conduct of this nature, he attempted to repeat the action last night during New York's 89-85 win over the Detroit Pistons at Madison Square Garden.

I must have missed that. Wow! I don't know what's wrong with this guy's brain

Cocaine is not good for you....

In the thread about Houston as GM of our NBDL team - someone mentioned Sprewell. Spree was a character - but unlike Smith, not an imbecile knucklehead.

What is Woody going to do- warn him?

Suspend him 1 game, dock his pay. and sit him the next game.

Then ask if he is ready to grow up or not.

JR's shot attempts are down, and he's rebounding.
So there.

Are you talking about the 2-3 start to the season without him? You're just counting the 3 losses?

when they occurred all in a row, yes.

you're just counting the 2 wins?

Makes sense since we haven't lost 3 games in a row without JR in the lineup </s>

Now hold on, JR has been a complete embarrassment this season but don't blame him for Hardaway's minutes. That's on our joke of a coach.

I don't think it was that big of a deal.

I hope JR gives Bosh a wedgie tomorrow night. Or maybe a wet willy to Lebron or Dick Bavetta.

Woodson on 98.7 FM on JR Smith: "This is unacceptable. It's just got to stop."

Woody has an opportunity show some of that accountability he's always talked about. Let's hope it happens.

Woodson is all for holding players accountable, not necessarily the players who deserve it the most.

Don't remember that getting a fraction of the backlash JR got. JR has lots of faults, and he's been pissing me off most of the season, but I'm not bothered about him untying someones shoe lace.

Totally agree, but when you're a lightning rod for acting like an idiot and playing like garbage on an under performing team the consequences shouldn't be too surprising. The fact that he did it, or faked it, again was a giant FU to everyone. The guy is like a f'in child pushing a parent's boundaries.

You think DWade is chucking a 3 w/ 17 secs left on the clock bc he's oblivious to the situation?

I hope JR sees the bench all night tonight and THJr and Shump lead us to a huge victory.

I think there is a better chance for Marbury to get re-signed tonight (Please God forbid) then for JR to get benched. Just my gut feeling though. I could be wrong.
