Yes, I had to create a new thread for this. WE DEMAND ANSWERS!
Getting killed on the boards and with Cleveland getting second chance points almost every other time down, and Baynes practically sits out the 4th? Is he hurt or something?
And Horford struggled for the most part and Monroe didn't help. Ugh.
Did you notice how Kevin Love was out of the game after his head to head collision with Tatum?
Cleveland went small after that, only 1 big man on the floor at all times with Green/LBJ getting all the PF minutes however you want to call it.
He went to Monroe because we were struggling to score I think and wanted some more offense on the court during that stretch. But that's why Baynes wasn't in the game much at all, CLE went small.
The real answer is when they're going small Horford has to be better. He killed the Cavs small lineup in games 1 and 2 for the most part, this game he did not.
