It seems like J.R. Smith’s 100 tattoos has lead to ink
poisoning which has affected his ability to think properly. Him
emulating Jason Terry’s vow of getting a tattoo if his team wins the NBA
championship will not lead to the same result. While Jason Terry's declaration seemed more out of desire, J.R. Smith's declaration feels like it is based out of motivation/desperation. The Knicks look solid and with
Melo basically guaranteed the NBA scoring title since he has averaged upper 30 ppg
over the last several weeks and Durant’s Thunder locking up first place in the
West thus leading to the decreased playing time of the only competition, they will certainly be a difficult challenge. In fact, this Knicks team does remind me of
the Mavericks when they won the Championship two years ago (they even have
three players from that championship roster), but that was against a Heat that
was still developing chemistry between their big three. Miami has progressed
substantially since then and cruised all year long to the best record in the NBA and second longest win streak in NBA history. They locked up 1st place in the Eastern Conference more than a week ago and neither the Knicks, nor anyone else, can match up with a rested Heat.
Even if they do squeak out a series victory in what would be an exhausting and
pain-inducing Eastern Conference Finals, they will be limping to the end like THE OFFICE
since losing Michael Scott. They will be left with little fuel when competing
against most likely the quick and athletic Thunder and there is not enough adderall,
steroids, or cocaine that allow them to match the intensity
Coincidentally, J.R. Smith doesn’t have any more room on his
body for another one anyway unless he decides to get the face tattoo and we saw
how well that worked for Stu.
