The Cleveland Cavaliers destroyed the Atlanta Hawks 118-88 on Tuesday night, completing a four-game sweep in the Eastern Conference Finals. The Cavaliers were of course celebrating, sharing laughs and hugs including former Knicks J.R. Smith and Iman Shumpert. The two players were struggling with the Knicks before Phil Jackson traded them to the Cavaliers. The trade seemed to be just what they needed as they were both vital parts of the Cavaliers success, especially Smith who put up some big clutch shots. Carmelo Anthony and LeBron James used to be heavily compared to each other so with two former Knicks going from can’t make the playoffs to the NBA Finals with LeBron looked pretty bad for Anthony. Twitter took the opportunity to go IN on poor Melo. I’m sure he’s comforted by the MILLIONS in his bank account but any real player wants to win.
