LeBron James walks out of Game 1 press conference after question about JR Smith's blunder

LeBron James says he didn't know JR Smith’s state of mind at the end of regulation in Game 1 and can’t tell what he was thinking.

Per SB Nation, Schwarz: There’s still confusion as to whether J.R. thought the game was tied or whether he thought you guys were ahead. From where you stood on the court and from talking to him after the play, what’s your version [of that play]?

James: “What do you mean, ‘What’s my version?’”

Schwarz: Well, did he think that the game was tied? Or did he think that you guys had [the game won]?

James: How do I know that?

Schwarz: Or did you discuss it at all with him at the end of the play?

James: No. They asked me if I talked to J.R. about it. I said no already. I knew it was a tie game. We were down 1. George Hill went up. We made the first one. We got the offensive rebound. You know, I thought we were all aware of what was going on. That’s my view.

I don’t know what J.R. was thinking. I don’t know what question you’re trying to ask.

Schwarz: I was just trying to see if you knew exactly what his state of mind was. Did he think that you guys had one or did he think he was trying to make a play?

James: [shakes head]

Schwarz: Not sure?

James: What do you mean I’m not sure? No, I don’t know his state of mind.

Schwarz: Did you know if he knew the score?

James: Gets up and walks away
