J.R. Smith: 2016 Cavs Would Smoke 2020 Lakers Because “Nobody Checking Kyrie”

Smith said the 2016 Cavaliers beat the 2020 Lakers “not even close,” pointing to LA’s age: “older Rondo… older Bron… older AD.” He zeroed in on the matchup problem: “First of all… nobody on that Laker team checking Kyrie. Nobody.” He added Tristan Thompson’s rebounding and agitation would matter, even if “AD was going to cook.”
