Shumpert and JR Smith are bench players at best.

The Knicks knew this and now everyone knows it.

Not a bad role player at all but it isn't unusual for role players bounce around all over the NBA but it doesn't make them bad players nor Cleveland made a bad choice either. Just they lost too much all over the place but he was the best player they had left after James & Irving went down.

What the Knicks know isn't -- well I don't look to what the Knicks know to know anything.

I never saw any player lose so much steam from game 3 to game 4.

That wasn't the Cavs' intent.

They were supposed to be reserves to add spark to Cleveland's aging bench and take workload away from the starters . . . that is, until Cleveland's usual horrible luck struck again when Bjorn Borg pulled KLove's arm out of its socket . . . forcing Kyrie with more minutes and workload than his nagging injuries could handle, and then HE got a season-ending fractured kneecap.

Yet another "could have been".

Luck: It's Only for Large Markets.
