Farewell, Richard Jefferson.

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
He can't guard Durant. Not sure why we bothered trying that in the first place. Can't happen again.

Cavs don't have anyone who can guard him one on one the entire game.
 
I've strongly defended RJ at every turn but since the playoffs began he has looked a step slow and he has completely lost his ability to knock down the open three point shot.

Right now in a competition shooting important open 3 point shots I would easily bet on Derrick Williams to make twice as many as RJ.

If I were Lue I would give Derrick Williams about 10 minutes in the first half with instructions to get inside Durant's shirt defensively, don't worry about fouls but if you are going to get a whistle make it a hard foul. And, offensively keep moving and cutting, and shoot the three when it is there.

Just do it and see how it works.

Let the kid go hard and put it out there. That's why Lue was questioned (on this board at least) for not giving him some burn in these playoffs.
Physically he's a body for this series.

I back T. Lue but not on every decision he makes. He has some Mike Brown in him when it comes to having blind spots on certain players and match-ups.
 
Listen bro you got mad heart and I'll forever love you for last year, but it's high time you got the fuck out of here.
 
We love you RJ, but we need some young blood.

Passed up at least 4 open jumpers in game 3.
 
Underrated reason we lost this year. Neither Dunleavy, Korver or even RJ could fill that RJ role from last year.

Such a smart player last year who knew when to shoot pass and drive

RJ's big problem is that he just can't hit a 3 any longer. He's lost some spring in his legs this year. He was very reliable from deep in last year's finals. Sad thing is he's still about the only vet role player who regularly steps up against the W's and competes.
 
RJ was physical and all effort tonight. He's obviously limited at this point but he contributed on both sides of the ball all game.
 
Probably his best game of the season. I just wish I didn't have to wince when he was the one getting the wide open shot.
