Share this: The odds are stacked against the Cleveland Cavaliers, but J.R. Smith isn’t giving up hope. The Cavs had a Game 3 win within reach Wednesday night, but the Golden State Warriors came storming back with an 11-0 run to take a commanding 3-0 series lead in the NBA Finals. Cleveland did come back from a 3-1 series deficit in last year’s NBA Finals against the Warriors, but having to win four straight against Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson is a whole different story. However, Smith still believes the Cavs have a chance. He later deleted the tweet, but nothing can be deleted from the internet. UPDATE (12:57 a.m. ET): Smith since has claimed that the tweet was the result of

Stephen A. Smith On James Harden’s No-Show: ‘He Looks Like He Was Drugged’
Share this: With talks of a “Space Jam” sequel coming down the road, it looked Thursday night like Houston Rockets star James Harden might have had his talent stripped by the Monstars — and that’s probably a theory ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith would believe. Harden picked a bad time for one of the worst games of his career, as he was a no-show in the Rockets’ season-ending Game 6 loss to the San Antonio Spurs. The banged-up Spurs annihilated the Rockets 114-75, while Harden scored just 10 points on 2-of-11 shooting with six turnovers before eventually fouling out. Smith, in an appearance late Thursday night on “SportsCenter,” struggled to find an answer for Harden’s performance. He joked (at least we think he’s joking) that
Watch J.R. Smith Try To Pick Fight With Dion Waiters, Heat Players From Bench
Share this: J.R. Smith apparently has a little too much pent-up energy. The Cleveland Cavaliers guard is nearing a return from right thumb surgery but did not suit up for Saturday’s game against the Miami Heat. That didn’t stop him from being the center of attention, though. As time wound down in Miami’s blowout win, television cameras caught Smith barking at Heat guard Dion Waiters from his own bench. When the buzzer sounded, Smith only became more agitated, yelling at several Heat players. He had to be held back by the Cavs’ security team and forcibly escorted from the court. [embedded content] So, why was Smith so incensed? Apparently he took exception to Rodney McGruder’s late dunk, in which the Heat forward seemed to take

NBA Rumors: Celtics Interested In Signing Cavaliers Guard J.R. Smith
Share this: J.R. Smith played a key role in helping the Cleveland Cavaliers win their first NBA championship last season, but will he be taking his talents to an Eastern Conference rival this campaign? Smith is an unrestricted free agent with less than a month to go before opening night. Frank Isola of the New York Daily News reported Sunday that “several teams” are interested in Smith, and that the Boston Celtics are among them. However, Isola notes that the Celtics probably would need to free up additional salary cap space to sign the veteran shooting guard. Smith, 31, would improve Boston’s outside shooting, which has been one of its most glaring weaknesses over the last few seasons. The Celtics shot just 33.5 percent on 3-point
Red Sox Notes: Carson Smith Excites In Debut; Tim Lincecum Catches Boston’s Eye
The Boston Red Sox had a rare off night at the plate Tuesday, and it cost them in a 4-1 loss to the Chicago White Sox. That’s the bad news. The good news is that Boston should be more concerned about its pitching than its hitting this season, and the Red Sox just welcomed a potential difference-maker into the fold. Relief pitcher Carson Smith, called up by the team Tuesday after beginning the season on the disabled list, made his Red Sox debut when he took the mound in the seventh inning. Smith didn’t disappoint, needing just nine pitches to retire the side in order. His unorthodox delivery induced ground outs from Jerry Sands and Dioner ...
