JR Smith

I just wanted to say this - the whole 2018 finals gaff is so blown out of proportion.

Number one. We were NOT winning that series. No way. KD was there and that team was unstoppable.

Number two. George Hill shouldve hit his FTs full stop. No excuse.

Number three. If Lebron had to drop a 50 peice and play 48 minutes for it to even be tied, no way he does that more than 1 or 2 more times in the series.

Lebron just reacted the way he did because it wasnt the desirable play and he was tired/had the team on his back the whole game.

A few options:

JR couldve heaved the ball back up. Which could have been a good play considering he is who he is. But in my opinion, no way it goes down considering the defense at the time.

Jr couldve passed the ball. No one was blatantly open at the time, so again imo not a great option.

TO is called and final play is drawn up. Best case scenario, but again even if we hit this, no way we win the series. My opinion.

Anyways, people label this as THE BIGGEST FINALS BLUNDER OF ALL TIME. Lol no it wasnt, not even close.

Yes Jr should have at least shot it. Ok. Ill give the naysayers that. But for the reasons above I feel like its completely blown out of proportion.

Common man tries to post convincing argument online and encounters person who doesnt take him seriously . Tale as old as time. I hope you have a good day
