Those 3's for the Cavs aren't going to go down all game.
They are doing everything they can on defense, but leaving the 3-point line exposed. Not good and not like them.

Meh, not a bad start. Need quicker decision making though.

Brad is just too stubborn to stop that switching crap. We can't just scramble on switches like that. So dumb.

The one possession we didn't switch, we gave Lebron a wide open 3

I'm more okay with giving up Lebron threes than Love, Korver, Smith, etc. threes off of Lebron passes when we're scrambling to get Rozier back to cover the open man.

Incredulous Cavs (after a call) -- do they practice the look?

It's called the shocked/pouty drill!

I just have a feeling Smart is going to have a huge game tonight. He'll redeem himself.

Why are the acting like Love shooting from 3 feet behind the arc is super deadly? He's not Steph
Pretty good so far.

At least its close early on- Dont like seeing Love knock down shots and not crazy about lack of us driving to paint.

Horford needs to guard Love tighter.

He will be motivated to show he is a top defender.

He is due for a crazy Marcus game!

It won't just be Lebron 3s, though. We have to pick our poison, and if Brad says he's doing what the numbers say is better I'll take it
I'm bitter.

So... cavs gameplan is to switch on rozier on every possession for about 4 quarters. Nice.

If we win, you can comfortably quit work knowing that all is right in the world.
