layup after layup after layup after layup......0 rim protection

Post like this dont understand that it's not really about "rim protection". It's about rotations and stopping penetration or making it harder to get to the rim.

In today's NBA where it's about switches and 3 point shooting it's more on that. They've done a very poor job in this half.

For everyone complaining about all the layups and drives. It's clear the strategy has been to run them off the 3pt line and trust our defense. We'll see if it pays off.

Better than being down 9 at half!

This is not good.

They built a brick house and are down 4.

We need a quick run in the 3rd before CLE actually starts hitting

I mean we kinda built a brick house as well. They still had a higher fg%. We just hit 3s.

This has got to be close to some kind of record for layups. Our interior defense can literally not be any worse. I could defend with the same effectiveness.

[eyriq]

The Cavs layup line has me concerned

[SOUL]

F.Wagner, J.Suggs, P.Banchero, W.Carter, M.Fultz is +6 in 7:59 minutes

hmmm

Isaac 0-4
Bench 2-8

Orlando would be up big if some of these shots are falling. Defensively: change NOTHING.

[OnlyFranz22]

Cavs 40 points in the paint is insane

That big lineup didn’t work. Mosley should be playing his perimeter defenders. He needs to have the balls and play Black?

[davey_wavy]

ESPN rewriting history? They just had a graphic saying that Cleveland won the ECF in 2009. I don't live in that timeline lol

Ya and they keep saying Paolo and Franz are 6'9. Seen em both and that ain't true

[SOUL]

People hate Gary Harris but he eats up a lot of minutes people don't want going to other guys and plays pretty hounding defense, his issue was he couldn't buy a three

[ChosenSavior]

F.Wagner, J.Suggs, P.Banchero, W.Carter, M.Fultz is +6 in 7:59 minutes

hmmm

Interesting

i don't think it's that black and white but i guess both can be true

The game feed has a 70 yo dude do the balancing chair trick.

YES

[Rainwater]

Twice at the end of the quarter Suggs shot too early and gave Cavs a chance to score, he got a good look, but it cost us 2 points in the end, i dont know why we do it all the time...

The second shot is was pretty open, can’t blame him on for that one.

No lol

That show is ridiculous. I don't know how he does it

[ORLMagicGirl15]

Some of you guys told us that a 3 is better than 2. Well, we found a team who knows how to use the 2 better than we can make the 3 lol.

[SOUL]

They're playing good defense on threes so there is a clear plan to make them drive it.. they've hit tough layups which is what you want them to take. It's the easy ones that need to be fixed a bit
