After signing a $57 million contract this offseason, J.R. Smith has had an unreliable, up - and - down season so far for the Cavaliers. While he has battled a knee injury in this young season, he's been hit or miss, literally, whenever he has been healthy and on the floor. Wednesday night was a miss, a big one, as he shot just 4 - of - 15 from the field and 0 - of - 3 from behind the arc in 25 minutes. That performance marked the seventh time this season that Smith has shot under 30 percent from the field and from long range. Smith is coming off a career - best 40 percent mark from behind the arc last season, and while he is still shooting a respectable 35 percent on three - pointers this season, he is shooting even a worse percentage overall at 33 percent. That would qualify as the worst mark of his career since his second season in the league in 2005 - 6.
