Shit man, I'd trade Love all day long.....

For Paul George or Jimmy Butler and a PF from CHI

Beyond that, looking forward to games like this from him, though wish they would have fed him more mid fourth qtr.
 
Cavs will be able to use the 2 days off between Game 2 and Game 3. Interesting to see if they can figure out how to execute offensively in the 4th quarter on the road. They get so ISO-lazy.

But that stretch tonight in the 3rd quarter, on both ends of the floor, was very encouraging.
 
Shump calls JR last night. Hey can you fake an injury so I can get some burn in game 2?

You know what Rich, after you pulled this card the last time, I legitimately took a step back, and have handed out far less disagrees since. It was impeding discussion too much, mainly because of posts like this. So I massively cut down the times I've hit the red X. The vast majority of the time I use it now, I'm not the first nor the only red X on the post either.

Regardless, you came at me specifically for an accidental disagree that I took away literally 20 seconds after I accidentally hit the button scrolling on my phone I specifically even went back on my browser, found your post, and unchecked the disagree. Specifically to avoid you starting some pointless shit like this. And then when you still took a jab, I simply explained what happened, gave you a little good-natured jab back, and now I'm moving on. Give it a rest man, I have no problem with your assertion on the defense. Alright my man? I'll see you in Cavs talk. Let's keep this kind of shit to a minimum from now on.

I'd have to go back and rewatch, but I didn't even feel like the defense was that bad in the fourth. They gave up a few second chance buckets, and PG hit some tough ones, but they mostly did what I think they wanted to.

They're going to have figure out if they want to live the strategy on Lance though. They just keep letting him dribble into spots he's comfortable shooting from. You've got to make life a little tough. And Kyrie has to put in a better effort on Teague. 8-12 is unacceptable.

I have no problem when we go ISO in the 4th but it should happen until 3 minutes or less.

I hate how we go to it at about 6-7 minutes if we have a lead. Run the offense(including pnr; doesn't all have to be motion) until 2-3 minutes left.

I wasn't bashing the 4th quarter defense. The 4th quarter offense versus the Pacers has been super-stagnant, though. Little creativity, little playmaking, then shoot a 3. It won't work against better teams. I am guessing they're tired. Haven't played this hard two games in a row in a long time...

We shouldn't be happy. We can't defend, against Indy. In our own building.

We're going to be playing much better teams than them later on.

We've been horrific defensively all season long. Yes, I know, it's good we won. It's a win. But if we want to continue "winning" as the playoffs go on, we better resemble a team that can defend. And right now, we are not a good defensive team and this is why a team like Indy stays in the game when they shouldn't.

Maybe if we all get really angry together we can telepathically alter the Cavs players own expectations and make them see that this just won't cut it.

Let's all furrow our brows and break some beer bottles and wine glasses if we're real fans that want the best for our team

Isn't he friends with Lue? I remember reading about something like this last year when we destroyed the Hawks again? His team has to hate him for that.
