I was listening on the radio and JR Smith fooled the announcer.  He was like "Smith with the rebound, dribbles out the clock and the Cavs have come in to Oracle and stunned the Warriors!" 
 :o

I gotta be honest, I thought the Cavs were up 1 too.   :-[


My wife had just walked in, Hill missed the free throw, Smith grabbed the rebound, and I said the "The Cavs just won!" Whoops.

Yeah I did at first too LOL. But then I realized with 2 seconds left it was actually still tied. That whole sequence was so fast. I don't get why CLE didn't call a timeout... 4 seconds left, just inbound to Lebron and let him take a shot....

I know that after JR didn't go right up with a shot that if it were Stevens he would have called the timeout.

That more than likely will go in if Lue called that timeout.

Lue can call that time out without permission from LeBron. That's why it took so long.

  • A true Celtic plays with heart.
Should also go on Lue for several reasons, not calling the time out, not pushing the issue, or not even subbing in Korver:

Korver is a inch taller.

Korver has better rebounding stats per 36

Korver is a better free throw by 20%

Korver would've shot the 3 ball if given the chance.

Korver is also a way better shooter.

Korver is like the 4th splash bro, so him knocking him down a 3 pointer would absolutely deflate the GSW.

Korver is also not as stupid as JR Smith.

I have never actually seen Ty Lue speak. I have only ever seen him like this...

JR lied and then fessed up.

Stupidest? Nah, but I think he's easily the most entertaining. He can give 8 threes one game, but the next game is just hilariously bad.

Well he skipped college so he's one of the less educated.

People that would possibly beat him but aren't in the league any more...

Sheed....did he set the record for smoking weed?

Latrell Spreewell. ....turned down a 3 year $21 mill contract because he had to feed his family and never played again. Then went bankrupt.

Toine....bankrupt

I feel like Isaiah Rider had serious issues.

Dennis Rodman is sorta genius stupid.

Only rivaled by Game 7 Rozier.

And Marcus Smart.

Come on. They both had terrible games, as did Brown, but not necessary dumb.
Okay, maybe Smart continually chucking up 3's could be deemed less than bright.

In answer to original question, not sure about dumbest player, but certainly dumbest play. Dirtiest player for sure.

Lue or Labron should have called timeout. That's all I have to say about that.

It's not just about Game 7, for me, in terms of Smart. Between his penchant for egregious flopping, continuing to believe that he's any semblance of a three point shooter, and his ridiculous heat-checks, just, I can't, lol. Remember when he committed a turnover while attempting to inbound the ball, this year? Good times ::).

The real question is, who's dumber, JR Smith or Ty Lue?

I have heard or read that JaVale McGee is pretty stupid and made a lot of bonehead plays and it probably caused JR to really have to try to beat him out but to his credit he managed to do so.
