I love how patient Jaylen Brown is when he gets into the paint.
And that's new from this year.

He's developing quickly

Just trying to figure them out...adjustments will come and so will the better defense. Stay confident.

Game would be closer if these guys knew how to box out and rotate on D.

They're simply not doing the basics. Ol brad as good as he is, sucks at coaching in this respect.
Back to wanting Joe fired.

Lebron is clowning the C's.

He's barely broken a sweat.

And Game 7 Olynyk ia dead. Long live Game 7 Olynyk.

1 of 8 from 3 pt land.

And its not bad luck. We shoot threes like we're the Warriors, but unfortunately they have good shooters and we have mediocre ones. When you do nothing but jack threes with mediocre shooters you're going to go 1 for 8 often.

I don't understand the point of just simply allowing the switch on Lebron to KO. Like why? KO will obviously be taken advantage of.
If there were an obvious solution to not having slow bigs switched onto LeBron, the Cavs would not be 40-4 in the Playoffs against the East the last three years

U can't switch the pick and roll against Lebron.

Trap,  play zone, but don't let that happen.

Yep, I just don't understand the insistence of switching in the NBA, especially with these superstar offensive players.

Hell, we had Al as Lebron's primary defender at one point that quarter for whatever reason.
Recovering Joe Skeptic, but inching towards a relapse.

Someone needs to foul leroid hard. Not dirty, just make him think about going to the rim

i was thinking the same thing .....but that is old school .....you'd be a hater or something geeky......it's taboo in todays sissy NBA

Same overreaction here as in the Wiz series early.  Also I think when the Bulls went up.  The difference is that the Cavs are a clearly better team than the C's.  I expect Cavs to sweep, but this game is nowhere near over.   If C's went 4-8 instead of 1-8 from 3, this would be a 2 point game (tied if Marcus let that ball come down).    It's not good, but it's not over.

Fight through the [dang] screens and stop switching or change your defense completely.
