At some point somebody finally realize that the Cavs are either incapable of physically icing the PnR properly or were flat out unwilling. Was a disaster every time.
Definitely a fact. And the players have wondered the same thing at times.
Lue adheres to Thibodeau’s philosophy on ICEing the p&r as he believes it allows the defense to exert more control over a defense’s impact on the offense. This is probably why he wants to do it even though nobody puts in the effort or pays attention to details and adjusts.
This team has had shitty defensive personnel to execute it well. This isn’t the 2008 Celtics with KG, Rondo, Posey, Tony Allen, etc. If you don’t have great personnel, then you have to have exerted great effort and attention to detail and, well, we’re not going to see that in the regular season.
This might be a better way to go right now although I’m sure Lue wants to ICE in the playoffs so don’t know what to do there.
