JR Smith

It’s no secret that the Cavaliers just aren’t the same without LeBron and as he prepares his return to Cleveland his former teammates have hit rock bottom currently holding the leagues worst record. And according to JR Smith it’s no surprise. “I don’t think the goal is to win,” Smith said to The Athletic’s Jason [...]

The Cleveland Cavaliers have apparently realized they won’t be winning anything in the aftermath of LeBron James’ departure anytime soon. Extending Kevin Love over the summer without trading any of the veterans inferred a different plan. The Cavs, the thinking went, wanted to contend for a playoff berth. Maybe they still do. But according to [...]

JR Smith was informed by the NBA that he will be fined on a per game basis if he doesn’t cover the tattoo logo of New York-based streetwear company Supreme he got during the summer. Smith went on Instagram to voice his displeasure: [tweet https://twitter.com/World_Wide_Wob/status/1046123204505473026] According to Section H of the NBA rule book’s extended [...]

The Cleveland Cavaliers are in a transition period after losing the best player in the NBA for the 2nd time in the past 8 years. They have decided not to completely blow it up, a decision made clear when they decided to sign their only all-star caliber player left, Kevin Love, to an extension. With [...]

It seems like J.R. Smith is coming around on this whole “playing off the bench” thing. Though he, unlike Tristan Thompson, first bristled at losing his starting job, the Cleveland Cavaliers’ sometimes-sharp-shooting guard is singing a different tune these days: He now believes the bench that he’s a part of is the best in the [...]

A funny thing happened after the Cleveland Cavaliers lost Game 3 of the NBA Finals to the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday: J.R. Smith tweeted “Cavs in 7.” Or rather, Smith’s Twitter account posted “Cavs in 7,” because he says he didn’t do it. The tweet is since deleted, but here’s a screenshot courtesy of [...]

On the heels of another blowout loss at the hands of the Golden State Warriors, this one a 132-113 drubbing in Game 2, the Cleveland Cavaliers are thinking about a starting lineup change. According to ESPN.com’s Dave McMenamin, although Iman Shumpert needed intravenous fluids to address cramping in Game 2, the coaching staff is contemplating about [...]

There is an inescapable hangup in every attempt the New York Knicks make to trade Carmelo Anthony: He doesn’t want to leave. This is borderline common knowledge, but sometimes, public perception differs from what’s happening behind closed doors, or from what players tell other players. Yet, if Anthony really does want out of New York, [...]

For the first time since undergoing thumb surgery in December, J.R. Smith practiced with his Cavalier teammates on Wednesday. He was no doubt rusty and will likely take some time to get his wind back. But he seems to have healed far enough ahead of the playoffs in order for him to find his groove. [...]

Sorry, Cleveland Cavaliers. You can’t have everything and everyone. Not yet, anyway. J.R. Smith hasn’t played since Dec. 20 after having surgery on a broken right thumb. The current timetable puts him back in the Cavaliers’ rotation by the end of March. Those hoping for a quicker recovery are going to be disappointed after an [...]
