JR Smith

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
He's not back for at least two months and probably longer. My concern would be whether he has time to play himself back into shape before the playoffs, or even before the ECF.

Unfortunately, I doubt it! Seems "unrealistic".

After all, we are not blessed like the Warriors.
 
Keep in mind JR mostly defies all logic.

He can throw up the ugliest looking shot on the most putrid of possessions that most NBA players would just struggle to even hit the rim on and JR makes it look like that is his most efficient shot.

Don't take into account traditional information when looking at JR's recovery. He's a renaissance man. I think it's just as likely he comes back better than ever just because it would make no sense

Also God damnit do I miss this guy

It's a thumb injury. His legs weren't cut off. He can keep up on his cardio. If JR comes back in terrible shape, it's a JR problem, not an injury problem.

Also JR will have near two months of time after he's back to get into game shape. The finals won't start until June and he should be back in mid-March/early April
 
Do you know why I miss JR?

Because, back in the day, there was nothing better than when Damon Jones would knock down a 3.

JR is the first Cavs player since him to give me that same feeling. It brings me sheer joy every time he makes a wild, contested 3 to put the dagger in the opposition's run.

Come home Pipe, we miss you.

Hopefully Korver finds some of that mojo in the mean time, and then we'll just be lighting bitches up come playoffs.

AND JR is a better shooter and better defender than amon Jones (who I also loved) :chuckle::chuckle:.

I just think this team misses JR more than people want to admit. I think he should come back and be good to go and fully implemented into the team by the playoffs - and thus be totally good to go by the Finals - but, if he isn't, I think we're in some trouble. JR won't make or break a Finals series against the Warriors, yet, he does play a very important role.

I could see JR sucking for a round or two, and this whole place going into panic mode. But I have no doubts that he'll be ready for the finals when we need him. And Korver will get us through the East.
