This series has been absolutely horrendous for JR.

It's been an up-and-down 2018 Conference Finals for @TheRealJRSmith. #NBAPlayoffs#WhateverItTakes pic.twitter.com/X3YhQgD26q

Say whatever you want about him, he's a veteran that's made the Playoffs 11 of his 14 years. More importantly, he's part of the current Cavaliers' core that's gone to three straight Finals and yet, he's just failed to be consistent and be dependable.

Him along with George Hill, the team's starting backcourt, are a huge reason behind the Cavaliers' lackluster play on the road and inspired performance at home. Game 5 continued the trend for JR, a terrible performance by him and if this continues, making another Finals for him and the team seems very difficult.
