JR Smith is feeling good and why shouldn’t he?
He’s running with the King — while comfortably playing the background on a star-studded roster. In his words via the Cauldron — Smith spoke on several topics — including Melo, his public image, playing alongside LeBron and the “ultimate teammate” Kevin Love.
Smith was also asked about the Cavs playoff chances.
Naturally, as LeBron’s teammate, when you see the top dog playing the game a certain way, you have no choice but to follow suit. Not because you bow down to King James, but because the results are there for the team, because the wins keep coming, and because you can literally see things coming together each night right before your eyes.
As for what comes next in Cleveland, I will make it real simple for you: If we continue to play the way we have been playing, I don’t think anyone can beat us.
Now that the playoffs are here, people are going to discover that our greatest strength is that we play for one another. We willingly share our knowledge with one another so that collectively, the team becomes even stronger. It happens in practice, it happens on the floor during games, and it even happens from the bench.
