“Waiters with 16 points, almost ten less than what LeBron James averages per game…he dribbles the ball up the floor with his team up by 24…probably carries…blows right by the lackluster on-ball defense…avoids the nonexistent help defense with a direct path right to the hoop and THROWS DOWN THE MOST AVERAGE DUNK I’VE EVER SEEN. With mall cop authority!”

Smh. That roof was knocked down a few pegs, if anything.

Apparently this ain’t his first roof-raising rodeo this season. From back on November 23rd:

That was his 6th and 7th points of the night. He would end with (a LeBron James season low of) 12.

PS As always…the good, the bad and the ugly over on Reddit

Uhh what? Will someone please tell me how to feel about this move? Obviously JR and Iman are being brought in as wing defenders… But doesn’t David Blatt’s offense preach ball movement and for players not to be selfish? That sound like JR Smith to you? Welp.

This quote however, is encouraging:

Let’s see how this plays out. I’m fine with it just in the fact that JR will provide blogging material for DAYYYSSS. I’ve loved watching JR Smith from afar but it’s definitely going to be a bit different watching him on my own team.

If this fails we might actually see the first live death in an NBA game. LeBron James very well may murder JR Smith after he misses 5 contested fadeaway 3s in a row. Could be cool.
