J.R. Smith To Undergo MRI On Injured Right Knee
NOV 3, 2015 10:59 AM


J.R. Smith will undergo an MRI on Tuesday to check out the extent of a right knee contusion.

David Blatt says he believes Smith locked legs with Nerlens Noel during the first quarter.

Blatt's demeanor while talking about Smith made the injury sound serious.

"We're anxiously waiting to see how he responds tonight and if necessary, he'll do an MRI tomorrow. But hopefully he's OK," Blatt said. "That's a scary thing."

Rajon Rondo Was Vlade Divac's First Choice In Free Agency
NOV 3, 2015 11:13 AM


Rajon Rondo has played well for the Sacramento Kings to begin his tenure with the team and he's connected with DeMarcus Cousins.

"People that know me, know me," Rondo told Yahoo Sports. "I am the way I am. … They know my character. It is what it is. The perception the media gave me, the character of the person they made me, whoever they made me out to be, that's their prerogative. It doesn't affect me at all."



Rondo's reputation across the NBA had taken a hit following his injuries, inability to shoot from the perimeter and his occasionally mercurial personality.

"I like being the underdog," Rondo said.

Rondo turned down a five-year extension estimated to pay close to $70 million in hopes of landing a maximum contract later, he was traded to the Dallas Mavericks on Dec. 18.

"I don't look at the past at all," Rondo said. "What's for me is what's for me. Everybody always talks about money, money, money. But for me it's all about happiness."

The Kings gave Rondo a one-year, $11 million contract.

"I knew he was going to be available," Divac told Yahoo Sports. "He was my first choice when I went after some free agents. Honestly, we weren't a perfect destination in free agency and that was something we could take advantage of. He works well for us.

"We have things to turn around. I was very honest with him. I knew people were talking. But this is a great opportunity not only for him, but for us. Honestly, we were probably the first ones to approach. Everyone was scared. I wasn't. As a player, I knew what he could do."

Kobe needs to defer to the younger guys. I know that's hard for him to do but he gotta pick his spots. They actually have talent this year.

BREAKING: J.R. Smith To Miss Next Two Games For Cavs With Knee Bruise




J.R. Smith has not been playing well to start the season, plain and simple. He’s totaled just 19 points on 8-29 (27.6%) shooting from the field and 1-7 (14.3%) from downtown in just 23 minutes per game (92 total minutes). To put it in perspective, Jared Cunningham has played less than half the time that J.R. has (45 total minutes) and has already scored 20 points off the Cavalier bench.

After the game, head coach David Blatt said that Smith should be considered day-to-day until he receives an MRI

“We’re anxiously awaiting to see how he responds tonight and if necessary, he’ll do an MRI tomorrow,” Blatt said. “We’ll see. That decision will be made later when we get back to Cleveland. But hopefully he’s OK. I mean, that’s a scary thing.”

The MRI today, however, revealed that Smith has a right knee bruise and quad tendinitis. The Cavs announced that Smith would miss at least the next two games as he tries to recover. The news was first reported by Dave McMenamin of ESPN.

Smith was also hampered by a hamstring issue that is not considered to be related to this injury.

- Andre Drummond is so much more than a rebound gobbler and putback specialist. --- Dude is showing some real skill in the post. #NBA #DFS


- Does any dude in the NBA have less help around him than Andre Drummond? Their bench got two points tonight.

 

[Lehigh]

Yea B Cousins got that...Drum turning the corner

Bullshit bruh. Drum is there already. Nationally bgol fans and the league scared to give this brotha his due.

 

[Smoke Van Gundy]

Lakers lose again tonight. The Defense and Kobe shot selection is killing us. 1/5 from three again. Byron check this ninja

 

[Smoke Van Gundy]

Bullshit bruh. Drum is there already. Nationally bgol fans and the league scared to give this brotha his due.

Relax fam. Not a lot of Piston fans out there. Been some lean years.

Yall got the cornerstones in place and that stock is on the way up

Potentially yall could be this years Milwaukee

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

yea right now drummond is making a statement.

cousins is right there but drummond is like its mine.

byron scott is going to get fired. why are you playing your #1 draft pick 20 minutes like you're trying to bring him along slowly on a fucking contender?

he should be playing 48 minutes a night and get his damn feet wet.

shit is just stupid. and they're losing and he's not playing?

 

[Mask]

Bullshit bruh. Drum is there already. Nationally bgol fans and the league scared to give this brotha his due.

We kno dude have skills, now he would have any limitations on him(sharing time with Smith or Monroe) that's why I'm point to him as turning and not around the corner...

Cousins was always allowed to produce...

Drum and K. Leonard are in the same boat to me...
Both have the skills and maybe even accomplished current things, but have some much more to them, if given the chance...(some might think that crazy with Leonard but even Pop stated some to this tone)

 

[BDR]

Y'all niggas slept on drum when he was the 10th pick.

 

[Smoke Van Gundy]

Word, throw him in the fire and hope he fiqures it out by All-Star break
