Faack they're not giving themselves a chance with those offensive boards. It's gonna be a quick series if they can't protect the glass

Thats why I advocated taking another super large person in the draft. Always have a deterrent and rebounder on the floor.

Thing with Kyles is he will be a nonfactor against their tall defenders

The problem is Jovic hasnt played in how long? Larsson doesnt have the respect yet. You know Spo dont play rooks in crucial games unless he trusts you.

For a guy with a defensive reputation, teams really love hunting highsmith.

I do not like the Highsmith on Donovan matchup. I'd rather Davion or Wiggins.

Saudades.

I think he is decent, never a lockdown defender in my opinion

I just think Highsmith is not as effective against tricky ballhandling players like Donovan. Don't think that's his strength.
Also he's never going to get the call against them in 50/50 situations because he always looks guilty lol.

7 to 2 on offensive boards. That's kinda the game there. We pretty much matching them statistically on everything else. We may need Love for this series for 8 -10 mins as backup center.

The story of the game so far is rebounds.
Cleveland has 15.
Miami has 8.
You cant get bent over on the boards.
