Game 47 | Cavs (32-14) @ Mavericks (17-30)| January 30, 2017 | 7:30pm CST

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Don't look now but Boston is creeping up
 
My observations:

  • LeBron's sabotaging ISO-offense in the 2nd and 3rd quarters was brutal.
  • Every team we've played since that blow-out to Golden State have moved the ball in circles around us. 3-4 passes at least on most possessions - I tried to watch this one from a neutral perspective, playing close attention to what the Mavs did as well on offense. They just moved bodies and moved the ball. Attacked the rim and kicked out for the open shot. Such simple basketball that's been chewing the Cavs to pieces lately. On the other hand, the Cavs literally have no movement and don't even look like there's ever a play call. It's predictable and ultimately unsettling to watch.
  • This defense is beyond laughable at this point and looks not even close to championship-level. I mean, guys are literally running around chasing their own tails like they're headless, it's embarassing. Slow rotations (if any), guys getting destroyed by mediocre players off the dribble and poor help-defense decision-making.
  • Are we ever going to win a game away from home again?
