This won't be popular, but we lost last night because of Lebron (and no we couldn't win without him, but he could have played a bit different and I think we win). 33 shots (TEN THREE's!?!). He is a smarter player then that. That is just too many shots to be shooting at such a low percentage. He didn't "have" to shoot that many shots. Many of them poor looks. He played great otherwise with the 18 boards and 9 assists-but we had a a huge advantage inside and we didn't max it out.
Our bigs played a great game, the only two players on the team to shoot over 50%. Both with double digit boards. We should have just kept going into the post over and over and over and over-make them pay for playing small. Moz should have had 20 shots, Tristan 15+ shots. We should have run some pick and rolls to get Barnes on either guy and exploit that match up. And not go away from it if they miss one shot or get stripped one time.
We destroyed them on the boards. Less turnovers, more inside play and make more free throws--we easily could have won this game and the series.
