Iman Shumpert: Gone! Thank God!

[Cavatt]

He the guy who can maybe get healthy with a little rest. Gotta keep him on Rose from here on out.

 

[Soar]

Shumpert was moving a lot better in Game 4. Hopefully he is pretty much fully back in Game 5.

He was awesome in the first two games at home.

 

[Kypus]

My brother said he was grabbing at his groin, but Idk when he was talking about.

 

[Rick Astley]

My goodness what a rebound. He's definitely a boss today.

 

[Dribble]

He just shumped tonight's game!
Great defense, hustle, offense and critical rebound.

 

[blommen]

it's crazy that even in a game where Bron goes ballistic and Kyrie pours in 24, you still could make the argument that Shumpert was our most valuable player out there tonight. the way he shut down rose in the last 3 quarters and the multitude of enormous plays he made, both offensively and defensively, this guy has shown up for the playoffs in a way I would've never imagined.

 

[The Oi]

And to think we could have had Dion Waiters out there instead of Shump and JR!

What could have been...

 

[Amherstcavsfan]

His offense is somehow getting better. Also of note, only 24, like Tristan.

What a fucking pick up, man. His hands are so fast, and his shooting is getting much better, especially on 2's.

Ayyye and-one!

Love watching him defend on an island... amazing to watch and I wish these garbage announcers would call it out more often. Rose was torching a gimpy Kyrie and then Shumpert just ended it.

We'll need that against Teague in the next round too should we advance.

 

[Soar]

Guy has been a beast at home during this series.

22 Points Game 1

15 Points, 7 boards, and 3 steals in Game 2

13 points, 7 boards, 3 assists, and 3 blocks in Game 5.

Shump's post-game interview was very funny if you get a chance to see it on Cavs.com. Reporters were saying he was playing "far less than 100%" and his response: "Far less? Ouch! Ouch!" Then the team erupted for some reason in the locker room to which Shump paused his interview comments, turned in that direction and finished his interview with "Man, I wish I saw whatever they saw." Love seeing the more human, enthusiastic side from our players.

How about when they asked him about the likelihood of Gasol playing in Game 6 (the most asinine question ever; how would he know?)...

"I don't know. I'm not in his body."

*quickly glances around for the next question*


I'm starting to really love Shump. I just feel secure when he is on the floor. And he's a talented rapper.

 

[KCOTT]

Shumpert has been huge this entire series. For some reason, I'd still like to see JR start next series if we get there.

I don't really care who starts and I like it when they play together at times... but Shump is a better all-around player than JR right now by a reasonable margin. He looks more and more comfortable in the offense and his defense is just off the charts. Dare I say, he is easily one of the very best remaining perimeter defenders.

It can't be said enough... what an incredible pick-up. Thank you, Zen Master.

 

[Kouki]

i was really hoping down the stretch of tonight's game that we could have six players on the court because i didn't know who shouldn't be on the court between bron, TT, shump, kyrie, delly, and JR
