LOS ANGELES -- There is, undoubtedly, a certain type of NBA fan that takes joy in seeing J.R. Smith hoist up 17 shots in 28 minutes and that is enough to satiate his or her hoops fix on a Saturday night.
But when even the shot-happy Mr. Swish himself wasn’t having fun in the Cleveland Cavaliers' 108-78 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday while LeBron James, Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving sat out to rest, you know there is something wrong with the frequency in which stars sit in the NBA.
