Knicks' Woodson deflects blame for J.R. Smith's bad shot to Beno Udrih
Poor Beno Udrih. He's taking the heat from his coach for J.R. Smith's bad shot in the Knicks' loss to Houston, when Smith had already publicly given himself the heat.
Head coach Mike Woodson added a few words for reporters when asked about Smith's shot. They're less than flattering for Udrih, who made the pass to his teammate with 21 seconds left on the clock in tied game Friday night.
On the end of the Houston game, Woodson said J.R. Smith "went blank," but unsolicited said "Did Beno have to throw him the ball?"

Said Woodson, per Frank Isola of the Daily News: "[J.R. was] wide open. The bottom line is you look at his shot, but did Beno have to throw him the ball? You gotta look at that."
Seems super fun to play for the New York Knicks.
