Delladova has made successful Drives to the cup before. He doesn't do it consistently because he can't.

Just because you do it every once in awhile doesn't mean you can do it.

There's guys in the league who have scored 28 points in a game. Do you think they can do that consistently? No, not at all. 

There's a certain skill and ability to be able to be a wing that can put it on the deck and get to the cup consistently. JR doesn't have those skills. It's apparent in the shots he takes. 

the only thing apparent in the shots he takes is his low bball iq which is the same thing that is starting to be apparent in your posts

Kevin Love has his shoulder pulled out of socket by another player but LeBron should have anticipated that

You just don't get it. You're equating his shot selection to his IQ, which is flawed. 

However, you're ignoring JR's myriad of long 2's and contested 3's and saying that he could go to the basket, he just doesnt' do it. Just marinate on how silly that sounds.

I don't know if JR has even been  a consistent driving threat in the league, but you think he can be? Based on something we haven't seen? Yeah ok, but my IQ in these post though

Team is too tired fam
Plus Curry runs the pick n roll well, everytime I see TT and Delly try to double up on Curry, Curry always makes a precise bounce pass to Green or Barnes and they get good looks

True I'd still stick with that, wouldn't let them trap at all till the 4th in hopes of that extra pass to Barnes. Make him stay on the wing for a shot. They'd all have to  D up like Delly, but they'll probably be too gassed for offense tho......lmao not looking good for

 

its makes sense because i said he "can" get to the cup not that he "does" consistently. i know he can drive based on watching him play. knicks usually were at there best when he was aggressive and driving to the paint. hes displayed it a few times this series too

He has the skill tho, just lacks the hunger or muscle memory has him doing the stepback. So glad he's out of NY.

Do remember when he was a knick doing this or dishing it out, but knew it wasn't going to be a consistent thing. He'd rather look pretty and win.

JR Smith can get to the rim and create his own shot

 

[JD617]

if these guys are so bad, how did they nigerian scam their ways into the nba?

It's not like they stink and don't belong in the NBA at all. Some of these guys can be effective NBA players in lesser roles. It's not their fault, but due to the circumstances right now, they're in roles that they're not suited for and are in way over their heads. None of these non-LeBron players are cut out to be a #2 or #3 option on offense on a successful team.

Lebron should have anticipated that playing in Cleveland would never end well

How many free throws has JR taken the entire playoffs to this point?

He doesn't have the skill to consistently get to the rim man what 

Especially on a winner, he's not good enough to be a feature because he can't beat anyone off the dribble, which is why you see the jumpshots that he takes. But a few drives and that means he can?

The bottomline is he doesn't do it. How do you even measure "hunger" or muscle memory"?

Only in Cleveland would 2 stars get hurt in the same postseason

Remember when JR was known well at least for me being a dunker, with a streaky shot.

Now he's just a streaky shooter.

yea cause your overlooking his lack of iq.  u think one of the best athletes on the floor can't get to the rim? 



he even showed it a little in game 2 on his first two baskets

 

clearly has the ability but since everything in the cavs offense now has to run through lebron for some reason he is relegated to jacking up threes and the contested twos he loves so much

Heavy Drinking and weight gain will do that too ya...

By not attempting to drive to the hole and creating.

I guess you can just say he lacks urgency or doesn't have Bball IQ. Shrugs

JR Is jus lazy and doesnt take the game serious no different than Nick Young

watching JR for the last 4 years he definitely has the ability to get to the rim. whether he has the focus to do so that night is a differet story.

his best season (2012) he was constantly getting to the basket drawing fouls, kicking out to the open man, laying it off to the big man, etc. he's an underrated playmaker that settles for the jumper far too often.
