TT and Hood still listed as questionable doubt Nance isn't starting but if not, then he must also be out and if thats the case this game will be ugly for us

These guys are playing like they've never seen a zone defense before. Over passing, over dribbling, etc. Put your best three point shooters in the corners and hit them as soon as their defender sags.

Jarret Allen isn’t winning you anything. Garland won’t show up in the playoffs. Mobley is a glorified dunk man. Mitchell has some experience but is a liability on defense. To me, the Cavs are a treadmill team.

I managed to catch about two quarters last night. Wouldn’t crashing the boards also be an effective way to counter zone defense as well?

Yeah, but the Heat have Whiteside, a bunch of long wings, and they like to run. So, you've got to be careful with that. Antoher way to counter the zone in the NBA is to try to get illegal defense calls. Obviously, the Cavs have a bunch of young players and have had a ton of different line ups already because of injuries/trades so they're just not functioning as a well-oiled machine right now.
