oladipo just having an insane shooting game. his last 2 shots were not easy at all and were swishes. the cavs made their run, but that's it for this game. regroup, try to actually play hard in the 1st quarter next time, and maybe cut rodney hood after the game.
I don’t know. I think there’s positives and negatives to both strategies. Lebron is gonna find a way to get his regardless. But if you start letting his teammates get confidence then you could be in big trouble. Lebron isn’t going to win that series if his teammates don’t show up. Don’t care how many one on ones he gets down low.
while it might work this game because the cavs are bricking everything, lebron is simply too good a passer. you're just going to give up wide open 3's every possession. harden just can't handle traps the same way.
not that i watch a lot of indiana, but there's no way they've played defense like this all season. the discipline, the crazy effort on rotations, tremendous number of deflections. they'd have won 55 if they guarded like this. cleveland may suck at defense but have an elite offense with love and they look like they can't get anything.
