Thank god Baynes is in...the only person on the team that doesn't believe he can shoot threes.

Just remember, that's a travel on Smart... but nothing Lebron does is ever a travel...

Just when you drive to the lane for an and-1, you get called for traveling.

I hate this lineup.  If Kyrie isn’t hitting they are anemic shooting.

Keeping the Cavs in the game right now. They will make a run.

All of their 3pt% will be down after tonight's game. Maybe not Theis.
I moved the cheese.

Lots of threes...but those were wide open, non-contested threes. Those were good shots. We just missed them.

That dumb lineup with Smart on Lebron and Rozier on Korver allowed Korver to get going. Dumb decision by Brad with all of the evidence we have of that defensive scheme not working.

If only you were there to let Brad know. Boy then he might really be a decent coach.

Too bad.
Lol, guess because he's a professional he's not deserving of any criticism right? Give me a break

Implying you know more than he does, or would make better decisions humors me.

Every game people are questioning him.

If anyone of them actually sat down with him, and asked why do you do these things I think you shouldn't, they would leave going, wow, I was completely wrong.

But go ahead, and think you could coach a game better than Brad.

So pretty much what Gouki said? Gotcha.

Let fatalism reign - Brad is now beyond reprieve, everybody. He has successfully overcome human fallibility.

Funny.

For real, do you think, if you sat down with Brad, and said "I disagree with X, Y, and Z", do you think he would just say, "boy, you are right, what was I thinking" or would he say "I did that for reason A, B, C"?.

He makes the decisions he does for [dang] good reasons, and it is hilarious to me that so many people here think they could improve on what he brings and his decisions.

What's more hilarious is that you think coaches are infallible just because they coach in the NBA.  ;)

But, no, he would absolutely have his reasons for what he does; I just think he's wrong. Just because he has a reason that he does something doesn't mean that the reason is correct.

His preference to never call timeouts in late-game situations in favor of not letting the defense set is a perfect example of this. Sure, his reasons are logical, but they're absolutely wrong - in philosophical logic this is demonstrated as the difference between a valid argument and a sound argument. Brad's argument/gameplan is valid, but it's not sound. That particular gameplan has virtually never worked for us, and it's absolutely in contradiction with his elite (probably best in the NBA) skill of drawing up ATO plays.

This Cavs defense is pretty atrocious. We're getting wide open look after wide open look from three, yet we just can't knock crap down.

Seriously, can someone tell me Ojeleye's 3P% this season?

Before tonight, 21-68 (31%)...definitely the guy we want launching shots here against a storming Cavs team.
