Iman Shumpert: Gone! Thank God!

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Was last nights game the first in which Shump was convincingly outclassed on the defensive end of the floor?

Minus a couple of hand checks, it was probably the first time since he became a Cavalier that he looked to come off second best in his one on one matchups on the floor.
 
Needs to keep going to the hoop on offense and stop shooting the 3 so much. Much better on offense out front and not stuck in the corner. LBJ and Kyrie dominate the ball so much that at the end of the day if the Cavs lose you can usually look at them or Blatt for playing Delly too much. What's up with not playing Mozgov in the 4th quarter. I think Blatt is going to blow it when it's all said and done.
 
I'm sure the injury is legit, but doesn't it seem like NBA players are always "hurt" right after they make a really embarrassing play?
 
^I thought Shump was really starting to look quick and active out there, so glad it's not serious. We need him big time to make a deep playoff push.

James Harden handed him his ass. But not a big deal. Harden is the MVP in my mind. Aside from that, he has been nothing short of an amazing pickup.
 
I still think this team would be better off with Shumpert starting at the two and JR coming off the bench, but it's too late in the season to make that change and risk screwing up JR's confidence.

Or after they are seen on TMZ getting a lap dance and in an apple bar with red hot pants? :conf (11):

I used to think this, but J.R.'s spacing and shooting ability is an invaluable part of our starting line-up. Shumpert can theoretically be helped off-of, even though he's not a bad shooter. Teams cannot leave J.R. without risking going down by double digits in a span of a minute or two. It leaves a TON of room for everyone else to operate.

Pretty much this. JR's defense has kept him from being a black hole on that end of the court and Blatt tweaked the rotations to bring LeBron out first and adjust the rotation so we rarely have an all bench lineup.
 
he sure does have a problem dunking the goddamn ball.
