theres a lot more off ball movement and less watching IT work off predictable pick and rolls.
cavs are actually terrible with off ball defense. lebron sleeps, kevin love sleeps, kyrie sleeps. tristan thompson and jr and iman pick up a lot of the slack on help defense.
yeah it is a problem that the big 3 on offense, has shyt all capabilities on actually defending, or even finding, their man off of just one screen

Are the Celtics actually better without IT? :jbhmm:
Normally, no.

I mean obviously they got the #1 seed in large part thanks to IT, so logic says: normally no.

Perhaps against a team that has been planning and training to play with a focus on stopping IT, yes.

What is happening now (and what happened on the last play in Game 3) is that the Cavs are having issues understanding who will be shooting basically and this coach is known for misdirection and confusing defenses.. so this may be a big issue for the Cavs.

The Cavs do not look like themselves, honestly they don't look like they are playing at home and they DEFINITELY don't look like they beat the Celtics with a 44-point difference...
