We needed J.R to produce like Manu Ginobili in these finals.
He wilted. It was obviously too much to ask for JR to play a prominent role.
I've seen worse performances, but JR and Shump both looked mentally weak in the finals. I saw what I saw.
That's what happens when you start the year as a New York Knick, and end up playing in the finals. Shell shocked them a little bit.
Maybe it's J.R. riding in on a fucking hover board? I mean, really dude? That's a bad look. Are you so tired you can't even walk? Or do you want some attention so we can see your awesome hovercraft?
Champion level players do not do this shit. Particularly when your team is down and need you immensely.
You don't casually glide in on a hovercraft, get your ass kicked, hang your head and come back the next day doing the same shit.
It just reeked of distraction.....
Reeks of "I don't fully grasp what being a champion, and a professional is all about at this time of year."
Think about Kobe, Manu, Duncan, Pierce, Allen, LeBron, Wade.........
Are any of them acting like J.R does after they shit their pants in the finals? Believe me, all of them have laid eggs.....
They just don't come rolling in next day gliding in on a fucking hover board.
