What happened to Jr

[nzahir]

Honestly what has happened to jr smith?
Funny how everyone was praising him so hard earlier on; where is he now?

Im sure hoping he shows up for the next 2-3 games. Cavs need everything they can get.

[keep-itreal]

mentally soft

Finals Virgin...

he's always been streaky. mostly streaky then hot tho. he gets hot in 1 of 10 games the rest he plays like an idiot. hopefully he can give his best games at the end of this series to help lebron.

Im praying for it. I really expected him to be a huge scoring threat w/o kyrie and love, kind of disappointing these finals.
Lebron and everyone else are looking tired; gsw just have too much depth and talent.

No shame in losing to a better team, at least we are swinging and putting it all out there(besides the 4th tonight)

Good Ol' J.R.

[DCL]

what do you mean what happened to him??

has he changed? he has been himself the whole time.

Its better than losing in the 1st round; total playoff record is important as well.
I understand jordan is 6/6 in the finals but the other years he was losing in the 1st or 2nd rounds.

Logic on ISH: Its better to lose to worse teams earlier on instead of making it to the finals and losing it to a better team.

Okay bud, keep using this type of logic in real life

JR is being JR.

Its why it blows my mind the extremes people take on this forum when the smallest thing happens in the grand scheme of things.

Its actually borderline retardation, sorry to say.

Thing is, its not totally your fault, you've been brainwashed to be like this, its the results of a mass psy op.
Not even kidding, critical thinking is being phased out.

Cheers

The Boston Celtics and 80's Pistons murder any team Lebron has faced in the East in his life.

Why didn't Jordan get more wins for a better seed. It wasn't very hard to get into the playoffs in the 80s east.

The thing about JR is that he is just as likely to go 8 of 11 as he is to go 3 of 18.

[warriorfan]

LeBron doesn't feed him. If LeBron smashes into the paint for a shitty contested layup every time with TT crashing the boards it doesn't allow JR to get in rhythm. Have you guys ever played basketball? How do you drain 3 pointers when you don't even touch the ball for huge stretches at a time? Plus all the times where JR has hit 1 or 2 sweet 3 pointers LeBron has rewarded him by not giving him back the rock for another 5 minutes as he cools off. It's a byproduct of LeBron ball. LeBron is the supposed PG, it's his responsibility to get the rest of his team involved in the offense instead of demanding them to drain a bail out 3 pointer every 5 minutes when he chooses too. It's called team basketball which isn't synonymous with LeBron Ball.

[Derka]

This is the same JR that you've always had. One night he'll go 10/13 and the next three nights its like he's shooting with two left hands. He's always been mentally soft, bordering on brain dead.

Why do you ask a stupid ass question when your dumbass has been told the answer before?

Idiot. :facepalm

Well honestly the Cavs offense is sh*t. Lebron stands around for 20 seconds and then decides to drive, pass, or shoot. They're not running plays, or running him off screens like GS does for Steph and Klay. He can't get into a rhythm when have the time, he gets the ball near the end of the clock and is just forced to throw up a shot..

There's nothing wrong with him, he's the same guy. The entire offense is sh*t...They need more ball movement....

Do you guys watch basketball? This was JR in Denver, this was JR in NY. When are people going to realize that JR is the definition of inconsistency? Go watch clips of him on the Knicks in the playoffs, he almost wrecked the Celtics series and than he really did against the Pacers. He is what he is. Flashes of brilliance and unable to be guarded with his 3 point shooting...and then back to earth.

Well to be fair...I've never seen JR play defense the way he has with the Cavs (Finals not included; he's been garbage on both ends of the floor here). So at least there is that...lol

[tpols]

Klays been forcing him to put the ball on the floor..
