Cavs will not win a chip against SA playing from the outside-in brehs.

Can ya'll agree with me there? In all lf their losses, this is readily apparent. I know SA can exploit us, not sure about Golden State yet.

Can we talk about this...

They tend to play that way when they are being lazy. Chucking up threes and long twos.

LeBron does it a lot...I've noticed the older he has gotten the less he likes contact. So he doesn't drive as much. He doesn't like to be in the post because of contact either.

The good thing is he went to it when it mattered most against The Warriors because they don't have a player that can guard him down there.

I thought they did a decent job getting Love looks in the post last night. If they would've done it more they probably would've won. He was being guarded by Earl Clark.

:dead:

Ok... this is a solid start.

Only problem is GS was at the end of a road trip when they played here and they were missing Iggy.

They have the perimeter bodies (Iggy, Barnes, Green) to make LeBron work. That would be a tough, tough series if the Cavs continue to think playing 25 feet from the basket is going anywjere against very good teams.

Iggy played against the Cavs.


Green, Barnes, and Iggy took turns trying to guard him in the post and got murdered.

He's got to commit to the post in the post season if they really want to win it all.

the golden state game was a good one because both teams were healthy and both had a day of rest going into it

The alarming issue is that the coaching staff had to talk him into playing in the post specifically that game.

LeBron said again last night after the game that he just doesn't like doing it.

It was the only game all year that they've done it as the focal point on the offense.

It would make the game so much easier if they used it the playoffs.

LeBron in the post. Let Love roam the Elbow. Put JR in the corner and have Moz/Trist setting screens for Kyrie and have Moz/Trist rolling to the rim when a shot goes up to try get an offensive rebound

Move the ball to find the best shot.


How do you stop that?

You're right... Iggy played. LeBron went off that game.

That's how he would have to play in a series for us to win unless they make Kevin the primary second option,

I think he's going to commit to post play and consistent driving in the playoffs. Those Miami teams put dog years on him. No one's played more basketball than him these last 4.5 years
