Pacers have me worried
They're a good team; and we seem to struggle at Bankers Life field house. But I can't see "playoff" Cavs dropping more than 1 game.
 
We lucked out with this one. Not sure we could have swept anyone else. I can see us sweeping Indy. Hopefully we let hill guard dipo most of the game.
Rotations please...

Hill, Bron, Hill (wouldn't mind seeing Calderon here)
Korver, JR, Clarkson
Bron, Hood, Hood
Green, Love, Green
Love, Nance, Tristan/Nance (hopefully)
Here are pieces of thoughts for the Game 1 with Indiana Pacers
•In the Rebounds Cavs has to step up against Indiana Pacers – identify the Ind Pacer best rebounders and box-out like Turner, Young, Sabonis, Stephenson & Oladipo
•Cavs to capitalize on 3s and even improve on it against Indiana pacers
•Indiana must be a faster team than Cavs – Cavs has to outpace the pacers
•Indiana plays a more physical game than Cavs – Cavs has got to step up its defense, rebounds, and tempo
Deny the key players of Indiana to get the ball
•To increase tempo CAVS should consider on the rotation of its players and the right mix
In the offense,movement without the ball & effective screens for K2 and KL and JR Smith
Utilize the Big guys for optimum effectiveness (Lance Jr, Zizic, Hendricks, Thompson)
–Offensively, get open for a pass and to shoot. Block defenders, and to open other players up for driving to the basket for a goal especially LBJ, GREEN, HILL, CLARKSON, OSMAN, ET AL.
-Keep the guys always fresh and fast on the floor
Get offensive rebounds and put-backs.
Gang rebound would help once the ball is in the air
–Make quick good jump shots, hook shots, and use the backboard on his shots.
–Defensively, Block shots and passes in the key area & get rebounds
•In the defense, CAVS has to have a trap game against Indiana Pacer

You forgot

  • Make more threes than the Pacers
  • Don't turn the ball over
  • Generally score more points
Also, who is Hendricks?
