LeBron's face said what everyone watching the NBA Finals was thinking, "J.R. SMITH WHAT ARE YOU DOING???!?!"
Smith's inability to get the Cavs a final shot seemingly cost them a chance to walk away from Game 1 with a series lead.
Twitter had a field day with LeBron and J.R.'s moment. And of course Joel Embiid chimed in. Jojo poked some fun at Smith while also being somewhat self depricating.

Philadelphia 76ers
Complete coverage of the Philadelphia 76ers and their rivals in the NBA from NBC Sports Philadelphia.
Jojo seems to be all-ball-all-the-time as he spent part of the day shooting hoops at a local Philly playground and his evening watching the Warriors survive a LeBrob scare.
Embiid probably wanted to point out to King James that nobody on the Sixers would make that kind of mistake, am I right???
As for LeBron, you've got to feel for the guy. What more can he do? His postgame reaction to being asked what Smith was thinking was rather priceless. And just kind of a bummer.
