Maybe its because they made shots, maybe its because they took a different approach, but the game looked different. I even saw them refusing to give the ball to LeBron in the backcourt. I saw George Hill wave him off multiple times. Thats a good thing and I think Bron will respect that in the long run, as long as those wave-offs lead to good possessions, which it did Saturday. Its nothing wrong with Hill saying "Look Bron, Im the point guard and if im not bringing the ball up and initiating the offense, I really dont have a role. I'm not as dynamic as Kyrie but Im still a pro. I need to stay engaged." And if Bron is off the ball on multiple possessions, the defense has no answer. He's behind them instead of in front of them so they cant load up. I think Cleveland should employ a strategy where after every Boston made basket, Bron should be off ball, not allowed to bring it up the court. Every miss, I would give it right to him so he can crush the defense in transition.

Hmm, interestingly LeBron had rules similar to that in HS

SO LEBRON IS PREVENTING THEM FROM SHOOTING ACCURATELY?

OUTSIDE OF GAME 3, HE’S BEEN HINDERING BALL MOVEMENT AND NATURAL FLOW OF THE GAME BY DOMINATING THE BALL AND NOT ALLOWING OTHERS TO DEVELOP A RHYTHM.
