Knicks coach Mike Woodson finally made a statement last night, but it was more about what he didn’t do instead of what he did.

The Knicks had a much better flow on the court and the fact that they handled the Heat all night without the services of Smith speaks volumes. It sent a message that the team has had enough of Smith’s antics and Woodson stuck by his guns by benching him all night for an important game. JR himself obviously felt some type of way, which you would expect after never getting on the court. Now he doubts his future is in NY. Hit the jump to see what he said.
