J.R. Smith And Brandon Jennings Are In A Twitter Fight

The Knicks, In One Paragraph
Woj has a column up that's ostensibly about the Knicks' latest insane notion—that they can sign Kevin Love in 2015—but which actually serves as a fine excuse to catalog New York's pervasive, perpetual state of rot. It captures basically every ill of the franchise in one tidy paragraph:...

Oh God, Andrea. What are you even doing right now?...

James Dolan Is On The Warpath Again

What happens when Metta World Peace gets on a tour bus with a bunch of children? Hijinks obviously ensued. "At one point, a fifth grader notices a billboard for Larry Flynt's Hustler Club.

J.R. Smith Delayed Knee Surgery Until After He Signed His Contract
J.R. Smith had a pair of knee surgeries this summer, and could miss the start of the season. It wouldn't be an issue if he had the procedures done soon after the Knicks; season ended in mid-May; instead he waited until July 15th, a week after he signed a three-year $18 million extension. ...

Chris Smith Got His Brother J.R.'s Face Tattooed On His Back
Monday was J.R. Smith's birthday and to celebrate, Chris Smith apparently got a tattoo of his brother's face on his back. It also say "Always got my back" beneath the portrait. Kind of inspirational, when you think about it. Kind of really weird when you think about it some more. ...
