Chris Broussard: Cavaliers are playing soft

[UpAndComing]

He does make a good point

- Last game, more than half their shots were 3 pointers
- Them falling in love with the 3 has spilled over to their defense
- 22nd in the league in defensive efficiency
- Their propensity of wanting to shoot the 3 pointers moves them away from the basket and makes them a very bad rebounding team


But, like Broussard said, this can be easily changed and I think Cavs have another gear, and are going to make the Finals. But they better be careful cause Toronto, Boston, and Wizards ain't playing

 

[Big Boss]

They need another big man

 

[Shogun]

LeBron's team is coasting in the month before the playoffs?

You don't say

 

[bucks3115]

They gotta play D
They missing love for D inside and the rebounds
Hope lbj will bring the best out of sanders

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

Bron need more help?

 

[MJ Truth]

They need another big man

Love is coming back. People act like they're not missing a 20-10 All Star.

I miss the 2014-2015 cavs post trades. They played big boy ball with mozgov, love and TT dominating the boards and other front lines. That team while third in the league in 3s that year,wasnt as reliant on threes and didn't play the small ball that these cavs play.

The change came after that humiliating loss at home against golden state on MLK day. Blatt got fired and in cane Lue. Cavs tried to emulate golden state by going small. Benched mozgov for TT and started playing faster and using more small ball lineups with the acquisition of Channing Frye.

Last year's playoffs, especially the Hawks series gave the cavs this false sense . It spilled over into the season with the cavs being second in the league in 3 points. It's lazy ball and is why they can't hold on to leads. Instead of working the clock and taking high percentage shots, they keep bombing away and teams are able to come back quickly on them. I think the problem is Lue. He took the cavs from a big boy, pound you team to a finesse team that shoots too many 3s and plays small

They won the title dummy.

My sources tell me, this nikka is a terrible analyst

 

[I AM WARHOL]

The media needs a story. We all know who's coming out of the East

Mozgov was trash last year, thats why he got benched

 

[G-Zeus]

Mosgov was horrible last year bro. Before Lue took over he was barely able to catch passes and looked a step late because of that botched knee surgery he had in the off season. He was only playing 15-17mins a game. Big ball definitely helped us get to the finals in 2015 but we couldn't play that style again last year due to Mosgov injury. I feel the problem is that TT gets abused by bigger players.

His multiple sources are softer than Terry cloth.
