http://nypost.com/2013/12/20/woodson-hin...Fellas we have a partying problem on this team.
The Knicks might be in line for those little mints on their pillows, maybe even a free breakfast.
Anything to avoid the outcomes of their last two noontime games. One time, the Knicks apparently stayed together the night before. One time they didn’t.
Both times, they got annihilated.
So what’s an under-fire head coach to do the third time?
“Well, we’re going to be together. Put it that way,” said coach Mike Woodson, whose Knicks face Memphis at noon Saturday at the Garden.
So maybe institute a bed check?
“I think 10,” Carmelo Anthony said with a smile. “That’s what I’m hearing.”
Poor JR hanging out with the devils daughter got him all confused as a professional athlete

J.R. Smith is rarely shy, whether it’s chucking up 17 3-pointers in a single game or brazenly uttering the one word that’s been known to get him in trouble:
Rihanna.
In a quick-hitting Q&A with Fox Sports this week, the enigmatic Knicks shooting guard didn’t pass on the final question — Best celebrity to party with? — and named the pop star.
Rihanna suggested Smith was “hungover” from their clubbing as he labored through a playoff slump in the spring and the Knicks were bounced from the postseason by the Pacers, drawing the ire of Gotham fans.
Now if it was just JR his lil brother could watch him, but I have to believe it's more than him .
I said it before not any ball player can handle NYC LIVE every weekend.

This is pretty much confirmation that this team parties before the noon games. I don't know if that's due to the NYC nightlife or not but, as a professional basketball player, it is sad if your coach has to give you a curfew.

There are a lot of mooching parasites that can distract a professional athlete.
We have to remember JR Smith came into the league making millions as a teenager from the streets of Freehold NJ.
Big Money and unbridled lifestyle (SNEEKING BOOZE down in NAWLINS as an underage drinker)and such a great athlete, it's amazing how he lasted in the association for so long.

Well the owner parties probably on Fri nights to with his band, but the difference is he lays in bed the next morning, so he admires JR's ability to get out of bed the next day.

I agree. If Paul George came to New York his numbers will fall.
Pablo Prigioni: "Curfew? What is a curfew?"
I said this all along with no real proof, but when Kidd got nabbed in the DWI running into a tree with his Escalade in the Hamptons before the training camp even started, I knew there was something going on.
How do you regulate grown men from partying the night before games, you sid them on the bench to send a message to the rest of the team like any real coach would do.
Your reason for doing so "you tell them that the weren't ready to be professional for a days work.

Unfortunately, we have a coach that only feels comfortable holding rookies accountable for their actions.
Or maybe the owner only desires players with issues, so his personal issues don't look so bad.
Looks like the curfew worked like a charm.

They don't trust each other in public they look like they care in private it's like Vietnam, the WEED SMOKERS vs THE guys that shot up.

They probably sent down to the bar for drinks.
