J.R. Smith Says Losing ‘Numbing’ to Anthony

In the Knicks’ nearly hopeless playoff quest, they are 5 ½ games behind the eighth seed and 16 games below .500 at 21-37. They are 1-5 since the All-Star break and play host to the Warriors Friday.

“We miss one shot and we act like it’s the end of the world,’’ J.R. Smith said. “You can’t play basketball like that.’’

Asked how he thinks (Carmelo) Anthony is handling the losing, Smith said, “It’s pretty much numbing to him now the way things are going. That’s not good for anybody.’’
