Farewell, Richard Jefferson.

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
RJ had a pretty good game tonight, in positive news.
 
Nah. I don't care what his stats finished like, I can't stand this guy starting at PF. Paint defense is trash, and rebounding was trash in the 4th. This team is a seasonal mess when injuries occur. Thats what we deserve when we have 2 legit big man. 1 gets hurt, and the other is undersized. Then you have players that pick and choose when to play defense.
 
Derrick Williams should be starting, not RJ. Jefferson should not be starting and playing 25-30 minutes per game as we have been doing lately, he will break down before the playoffs. Also, Derrick Williams is highly effective with the starters, less so with the bench, RJ is better at playing the "backup to Lebron" role than Williams is.

Lue is dumbass
 
Dudes jumper has abandoned him. I'd swear he's shooting maybe 3 of 30 the last 20 games.

Way too long and deliberate on the jumper.

Ehhhh...RJ inserted into the lineup while Kevin was concussed last year in the finals is a big reason we won the series. It was kind of a death lineup. JR is important in that lineup tho.

Id keep starting the vet. Because if shit goes down in he playoffs and somebody gets hurt...We can't count on Derrick, but we can count on RJ. Derrick is getting plenty of burn(and still playing well 14 games later.)

was it?
Jefferson played well but was his starting the difference maker? Game 3 was an expected Cavs win because it was their first one at home after going down 0-2 on the road.

I don't think being down 3-1 with 2 starts from Richard Jefferson was "crucial" to winning the series.

Jefferson shouldn't be starting now.

Cavs won three straight including two on the Road with "concussed" Love starting all three wins.

but the playoffs are neither here nor there. this is the regular season.

Plug in Derrick Williams and keep Fry and Jefferson in their roles they will have in the postseason.

personally I would start Liggins too until JR smith was ready to start but that's not as critical.

He was great as the starting 4 in that series because he can matchup with Draymond. Most everyone at the time including announcers and Lue credited him with giving the Cavs a boost after Kevin looked unplayable. *Shrugs*
 
Our rebounding problems are much bigger than RJ. He routinely gives better effort than 90% of the rest of the team and he's older than the lot of them. Time for Kyrie and Shump to get on the defensive bandwagon.
