The top 10 worst DFW playoff blunders of the past 40 years

J.R. Smith is being ridiculed by everyone.

With seconds to go in Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday night, the Cleveland Cavaliers guard took an offensive rebound and dribbled it away from the basket in an attempt to run out the clock. The only problem is that the score was tied.

And despite a 51-point game from LeBron James, the Golden State Warriors went on to prevail in overtime, 124-114.

For many in DFW, Smith's boneheaded decision probably conjured up memories of the dumbest playoff moments in the histories of the Cowboys, Rangers, Mavericks and Stars.
