JR Smith

[Cavatt]

Dude, what the hell is it with you thinking Love is a bench player...

Once he embraces the role, we can really go. He obviously needs to be the center of attention, so it suits him best. He also shoots poorly against starters. Unathletic undersized pfs are best off the bench when they don't play d.

Dion in 33 games with the Cavs had four 20+ point games. In those games, he shot 53.5% from the field.

In 7 games for the Cavs so far, J.R. Smith already has three 20+ point games shooting 52.8% from the field in those games. Oh and J.R. has scored 29 and 27, which are both higher than Dion's season-high.

Don't forget, we still have Shumpert to add to the mix. After all, he was the reason we made the deal, not Smith. Looks like we won the trade to me.

You mean like Danny Ferry?

Fully in character now. Committed and probably wiling to go the length of the season with this. Grabbed some circa Nov 14 posts about Dion and substituted SG with PF

Dion who?

Fellas- You never know when the muse is going to strike, but it struck again. I wrote some verse to celebrate JR's recent contributions:

Drilling Three-pointers
Just like Downtown Freddy Brown
JR on rampage!

The real gunslinger!
What Dion never could be;
Smith asks: "How's ass taste?"

Hails from New Jersey
Just like that dude called The Boss
Both lovin' the stage!

Stroking it from deep
You can't defend Big JR
Just pissed in your eye!

What can I say, Fellas? I have a gift. My mama told me to let my light shine, and not keep it under a bushel!

JR is love. JR is life.

Shot like shit and still had a tremendously positive impact on the game.

Never thought I'd be saying that about JR Smith.

 

[I'mWithDan]

Most impressed with JR's ability to contribute in other areas.

He always struck me as just a scorer but again tonight, he gives us 7 Rebounds, 3 Assists and 3 Steals in a game he didn't shoot it as well.

So far, he's been great at staying engaged, even when his shot isn't falling.

 

[The Red Viper]

His tip off to Kyrie in THAT play and the dunk attempt was enough really. If that had gone in...........

 

[gratefuldead]

jr got this......he wins at life, forever

 

[KLove14]

Player option for next year right?

 

[Jack Brickman]

You have to give props to JR Smith as well for having one of the only missed dunks I've ever seen that was still actually pretty impressive.

This is the first time I'm seeing this on the Pheonix Suns broadcast. Lol announcers - "Oh Lord"...

man I wish we won that game!
