and he's a better defender than Wade.
No, he isn't. J.R. tends to go in when defending star players but struggles and doesn't have the same level of engagement against lesser players, there's been articles written about this and I've noticed this since he was a Knick. Also, he is undisciplined in terms of silly fouls whether running through screener, fouling three point shooter, or bad reach-ins. I don't think any metric rated J.R. Smith as a + defender last year.

As much as y'all like to get on D-Wade for not running back in transition against Boston, J.R. was out here doing this :heh:


D-Wade still has strong defensive instincts and physical tools, he can still jump in the passing lanes, he can still block shots, and he can still dig-in on the ball in those tight spots.

Would love to have a OKC vs Cleavland Finals and get to see Bron, Wade, Melo all on the floor competing for chip. Bring a tear of joy to that 2003 class. I know it's unlikely cause life don't ever work out how I want it lol.
I could see it happening. Would bring a lot more ratings than GSW and Cleveland.

Optimal ratings for the league will be

OKC vs GSW and CLE vs BOS. Those are the matchups I would bet on for the CF just because it’s the NBA

One can only hope
