J.R. Smith does not know of a Jason Terry.

After missing out on game 4 of the Knicks-Celtics series due to a suspension received in game 3 for an elbow to Jason Terry's super wide head (I am talking full-out stretch of the head band wide), J.R. Smith could not recall who he knocked out to deserve the penalty in the first place.

From NY Post:

Smith was asked about Terry’s Game 4 heroics. 

“I don’t know who that is,’’ he said. 

Asked if he was concerned Terry might try to bait him in his return for Game 5, Smith said, “Who’s that? I don’t know who that is. I’m sorry.’’

That's a bit harsh, J.R., but you weren't the only one. I am sure many fans (specifically Boston fans) have forgotten who Jason Terry is. After being brought in to replace Ray Allen to become the instant offense he was as a Dallas Maverick, Terry failed to meet expectations, averaging the lowest points per game since his rookie season.

Hey J.R., if you need any tips to recognize Terry during the game, just look for the guy doing the stupid airplane celebration. You won't miss him. Then again, to do the celebration, Jason has to score first, never mind, just look for a guy with a Celtics' leprechaun holding a championship trophy tattoo on the underside of his arm.

Hey Brandon Knight, looks like someone finally answered your prayers.

This summer, Boston ended the era of the original "Big 3" of the Celtics. With the rise of Avery Bradley last season, Allen had to take a backseat, in a role he was not comfortable with and eventually drove him out of town.

The addition of Terry, became a perfect fit, as the 2009 sixth man of the year, he can provide an offensive spark off the bench that the veteran team was desperately missing. His ability to create his own shot and making it at a consistent high percentage will be key to the Celtic's success. And because you want to know, in a recent interview, Jason explained his technique on creating his own shot.

From the Boston Herald:

... It’s changing speeds and changing pace, and sometimes when you’re slow, you’re quick. I mean, the defense doesn’t know what you’re doing. If you hurry, you run into your defender, and then you’ve accomplished nothing. So I had to slow myself down a little bit but still be quick at the same time.

The best part besides the fact that this made no sense was that Doc River heard it and called out on Jason Terry's bullshit

“He’s in no hurry. Well, he can’t be,” the coach said. “He’s slow as (expletive). 

That just moved Doc up in my non existent extensive list of coolest coaches ever. If you have the time please check out this great piece on Grantland about him, it might just make you move him up in your non existent list too.

Jason Terry falls for his own prank.

I am pretty sure, Jason Terry was scared every time Dionte Christmas jumped out of that box, otherwise why would he keep running away. Too bad Dionte is now waived by the Celtics, Boston is back to being the old and serious team that rarely jokes.
