Brehs...it hurts to say this but there is a large possibility the Cavs won't win the chip this year. Don't get me wrong they definitely can and should squad talent wise, but playing defense isn't something you can just turn on and up to playoff caliber like a light switch. Defense has to be an identity to win a chip....I'm still cavs til the lights go out, but I gotta be realistic.....unless I see a major identity change in the next few weeks I have my reservations about the post season. Hopefully the next few weeks show change.
funny lebron himself said it was about effort...
from Lloyds final thoughts after Denver
.
Fear the Sword Brehs I hope you're right.....I hope it is just effort, but that's being awfully confident (and maybe a bit arrogant) to think you can just raise the bar just like that....I hope they can cuz I wanna kick it again this summer .....but in all my BBall experience it usually is a D intensity level that has to become habit or practice with the ENTIRE SQUAD.....I hope y'all right for real
See my issue isn't that the cavs can't play better d, of course they can they won the chip last year with the same team basically playing great D.....my issue is that teams like Boston, San An, GS Houston and even ATL, Toronto and Was. are gonna demand the cavs show their true defensive identity ....and if they don't have one established that could be a problem....a big problem.
I still honestly think they'll be alright....but it would help if they showed their grit at this point. All I'm sayin
I thought he was being rested
