Twenty-five-point games aren’t really anything unusual from JR Smith. He’s had seven of them this season and probably a hundred in his career. Plus the Knicks played the Kings on Saturday. If you don’t drop 25 on the Kings then you basically aren’t an offensive player of any consequence.
So, why exactly am I presenting you with the news that JR Smith scored 25 points against the Kings? Well, that’d be because JR Smith’s 25 points against the Kings were extremely… JR Smith — especially the 15 that he racked up in the third quarter. This isn’t making any sense to you? Allow me to put it this way: if JR Smith was an adjective, what he did in this third quarter would be the definition. Well, actually, some sort of reference to his Chinese escapades would be the primary definition, but this third quarter would be the second or third entry, for sure.
Also, 15 is a very JR Smith number, as is any number that happens to be divisible by three. JR’s preferred method of scoring the ba

Knicks shooting guard J.R. Smith is somewhat of a mystery man, and Monday night he put on a show for the Madison Square Garden crowd that only he could deliver (well, JaVale McGee probably could too, but that goes without saying). J.R. started with a display of incompetence, airballing a first half free throw, much to the delight of everyone. And, as is the case with most of these...

JR Smith’s shooting is generally considered to be a strength in his game, but it was the source of embarrassment on Monday.
Smith shot 5-for-15 from the field and went 1-of-2 at the free throw line in the New York Knicks’ 99-85 win over the Detroit Pistons. A career 74.5 percent shooter from the line, Smith had 16 points which is right on his season average, but he airballed...

Nebraska is just 11-12 and 2-8 in the Big Ten conference this season. Still, if there’s one sentence that I’ve said in about every article since New Year’s, it’s that “winning on the road in the Big Ten isn’t easy”. The Buckeyes nearly fell into that trap with cold shooting and a lazy closeout as the Huskers got as close as five with just under three minutes remaining...

Boxscore
The New York Knicks had one of those games tonight in the positive column for the first time in many months. They routed the Kings 120-81 in a type of rout that I have not seen in many years. This was one of the biggest blowouts in team history and they are now 15 games over .500 and 30-15 to tie Miami for the number one seed in the Eastern Conference...
