Ayyye and-one!And to think we could have had Dion Waiters out there instead of Shump and JR!
What could have been...
How about when they asked him about the likelihood of Gasol playing in Game 6 (the most asinine question ever; how would he know?)...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.
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.Shumpert has been huge this entire series. For some reason, I'd still like to see JR start next series if we get there.
