George the Ripper At It Again - Mark Kiszla

JR Smith is a great prospect. There is enormous potential in this guy.
The comments by his coach after G4 just shows that the Nuggets are a bunch of players.
No coach of a TEAM would say anything of the sort.
No serious coach would make grotesque comments like that until the playoffs aren't over and the player is gone.

JR Smith should move on and find a decent environment to develop his talents.

Spurs, for example.

And I still think JR Smith could turn out to be a very good player. The main problem with him is he's played for perhaps the two worst coaches in the league at developing young guards in Karl and Byron Scott. You put him on a team like the Spurs with a coach that will give him confidence and a bunch of veterans around him to show him how to be a professional, and he'd have a chance to be a great player.

I agree. Come to think of it, why not give the guy the benefit of the doubt?

After this idiot's first article dismissing the Spurs and loaded it with awful, very generalized takes, I'm not giving this beatwriter the time of day.

But since we're on the subject, George Karl is a perpetual whiner and finger pointer. What else is new?

Another game butchered by JR Smith! :madrun

IIRC, I believe he's referring to the 27 footer JR took with about 30 seconds left.
