With the New York Knicks out of the playoffs, there are plenty finger pointing to go around. One of the many assumptions why the Knicks didn't advance to the next round belongs to J.R. Smith, who may have let his off-the-field lifestyle conflict with his on-the-court performance. But, here's Jalen Rose to the rescue. In a recent appearance on Grantland, Jalen made a case that certain players, J.R. included, need to go out to the clubs. Sounds ridiculous but why don't you check out the video and hear him out. It may actually make some sense after all. Enjoy.

 Got tix to go see the Knicks play the Heat in Miami tonight? Good for you. GO SCALP THEM NOW! For the second straight game, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade (and Mario Chalmers, too!) will ride the pine for the Heat because of "minor nicks." The superstars, who both sat out of Sunday's Heat game against the Spurs and got killed for it in the media, are dealing with nagging injuries right now that will prevent them from suiting up. But, Heat coach Erik Spolestra doesn't sound too worried. [Read More]

Another week, another highlight reel dunk by J.R. Smith. Last week, Smith threw down a nasty reverse alley-oop slam. Today, J.R. put Ian Mahinmi of Indiana on the receiving end of a poster. It's a good thing dude threw down this facial jam because it will draw attention away from that damn headband. Enjoy.

J.R. Smith helped his New York Knicks finish off Spurs’ seven-game winning streak with a 100-83 victory on Thursday night, and he did it in spectacular fashion. Check out the highlight of the night as he threw down a reverse alley-oop from Pablo Prigioni, and he also added 23 other points. The low-light of the game had to be Stephen Jackson getting injured by a sideline waitress. Enjoy.

In a recent interview with USA Today, Carmelo Anthony pointed out one of the keys to playing in New York City was "to keep my mouth shut and just play ball." But as everyone knows, actions speak louder than words and over the last couple months, Anthony's mouth has overshadowed everything he's done on the court. From calling Jeremy Lin's offer sheet from the Houston Rockets a "ridiculous contract" to claiming that he gets blamed for everything that happens with the Knicks, Melo hasn't really been practicing what he's been preaching.

Jeremy Lin had a pretty crazy 2011-12 NBA season with the New York Knicks. He came out of nowhere and became the biggest star in the country—all within in a matter of days. So, it should come as no surprise that all of the Linsanity surrounding him got to his head. And, he admitted it during a recent interview with the Mercury News. "If I'm being honest," he said when asked if "Linsanity" got to his head, "in some ways, yes. I fought it every day. [Read More]

Amar’e Stoudemire, who recently acted like a child following a Game two loss to the Miami Heat, and punched a fire extinguisher in the process showed the world the extent of the injury today via Twitter. That is not a small cut. [See More]

Dwyane Wade took advantage of the fact that Mike Bibby lost his shoe during Monday night’s playoff game between the Miami Heat and New York Knicks. Wade took Bibby’s shoe and tossed away from him into the first row on the Heat crowd. This reminds me of when NHL teams do it to each other with their sticks. Pretty clever move by Wade if you ask me and the look on Bibby’s face was priceless. It just screamed “You serious, bro?” Enjoy.

Amar’e Stoudemire wanted to finish off the regular in strong fashion, and he did just that in the form of one monster poster. Tyrus Thomas was the unfortunately on the receiving end of the dunk and he would have been better suited to just get out of the way. Enjoy.

No surprise here, so we'll just cut right to the chase: Jeremy Lin is really glad that Tim Tebow will be playing in New York for the Jets next season. After Lin dropped 16 points in the fourth quarter to help the Knicks beat the 76ers last night, he was asked about the trade that the Jets made to bring Tebow to the Big Apple yesterday. And his response was nothing short of predictable. [Read More]
