The Cleveland Cavaliers need J.R. Smith to be better in 2018-19. He’s had an underwhelming last two seasons, and last year he had just 8.3 points per game with a terrible PER of just 8.5. What really stood out as the worst part of it, though, was what Smith did (or one could say didn’t do) on the game’s biggest stage.
With the score tied at 107 in a game the Cavs could have stolen on the road at the Golden State Warriors, and after guard George Hill missed a free throw and Smith got the offensive rebound with 4.
