Good move to bench Korver and start Thabo. Threw off their CLE's entire defensive scheme to start the game.
Great job of getting Horford easy buckets inside. Attacking the rim. Working in the paint. Posting up early.
KK, off the bench, was getting cleaner looks than any post season game this year.
Teague played masterful game.
DS looked in control, with only minimal mistakes.
Horford is so much more effective when he is playing inside-out...instead of just living on the perimeter.

This game shined a light on this team and what it needs.
Like Mace said, Coach Bud pulled every trick out the bag, but we still lost. what can we chalk that up to?? The Cavs just being a more loaded team, ours not having enough talent to win. Frye going for 27 was totally unexpected. I guess that's what we get for being stagnant as usual at the deadline.
KK to bench was the move we've needed for the longest. It took pressure off of DS as the lone guy of the 2nd unit, and not make mistakes. Unfortunately, we replaced him in the starting lineup with a guy with no offense. It worked out early because it threw the Cavs off, while Horford looked amazing, but still needed some kind of spark in that position.
KK wasn't the only guy off the bench that was a factor. K Humph finally got some good burn for us.
I wonder if coach Bud had an impact on Al's game. He played like we needed him to play. Games like these are to far in between.
