Outrebounded...more turnovers than assists..and a very predictable offense.

I don't take much away from regular season games. It's hard to win road games.

When January is done I hope they get back to running an offense for the first 3 quarters.

And it's time to find LeBron a real back-up.

Breh from what folks who have watched Blatt in his time in Europe have said.....he is known to hide shyt in the regular season when it comes to offense and defense.

So I believe it is no coincidence that when the Cavs play these contenders they suddenly stop running offense. You could tell last year how all of a sudden the Cavs were running offensive sets vs the Celtics in the playoffs until Love got hurt.

Don't forget that Lebron has experience with hiding stuff. The Heat were known to hide defensive and offensive sets in the regular season then show the sets as they got deeper and deeper in the playoffs. They even showed some new wrinkles when they played OKC in the finals.

Plus Blatt is saving Andy cause he is so damn injury prone and he is also not using Mo at all (who has shyt defense but can be hidden against certain teams as long as moz is playing. But Mo and Love should never play together).

Also I have to say that delly, Irving, Moz, and TT seem to be big time money players. You saw that last year when they were needed they stepped up. Those dudes just ran out of gas at the end due to no depth.

PJ Tucker actually makes a lot of sense, in a small ball lineup he'd be the one playing against Green and he's a high level rebounder and respectable three point shooter.


You'd be able to matchup with them and still retain offense and defense.

Yep totally correct and he is a true backup to Lebron if the matchup is bad for Jefferson.

Cavs revert to Iso because LeBron likes it that way :francis:


Same thing with LeBron lead teams are always in the middle of the pack/end in the league in pace metrics :francis:


That astutely is the reason. Bron's ego won't allow him to to buy in completely to any coach as he's been the man since HS. He's been coddled in that sense his whole career. Playing hard/effective off-ball, ball dominance, and post play are his major crutches. Only in Miami with Wade & Riley looming over him, he properly adjusted and incorporated post-play into his game. There's been two many a 4th quarters where crunch time comes and the air in the ball is getting pounded to death :francis:


Only difference is Kyrie is naturally a beast at it, but even then that's his crutch too :francis: so when you have 2 players that naturally love to pound the rock stagnation ensues.


LeBron always talks about respecting Popovich, would liked to be coached by him etc. But would he really like to be coached by him? I don't think he would react well the first time he starts yelling/getting in his a** :francis:

Don't believe that shyt unless they have a shot blocker lined up. Love is a shyt defender like Dirk. The only way you can win a ring with him on the court is to have an active center and good perimeter defenders.

You saw that last night, game against the spurs and Mavs. Moz size covers up shyt.....the problem is he is struggling offensively. But his size helps the perimeter defenders out.
