It's not just the shots its the constant ball stopping and dribbling at the top of the 3 point line. They both either want to shoot or drive and create a shot off one pass and don't realize multiple passes and ball movement is what opens up the best shots.
I don't get it because our ball movement was actually pretty decent to start the season. The ball stopping was a problem all game but it just goes into overdrive in the fourth. They need to realize who the better scorer is and Love needs to grow a pair and demand the ball.


In general, I agree with you. However, Delly and Triston (particularly with a guy like Bismack in the game) are pretty useless on offense and that's two out of the five people on the court in the fourth. Charlotte is a good defensive team, they were packing the paint, and Bismack was helping off of Triston before the entry pass was even being made. If Triston clears the area, you aren't asking the guards to pass into a double team. The game plan for the Charlotte was to make Kyrie and Dion beat them with their jump shots.

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.

Yeah i know but they still get stuck on one shot or one pass offense. They didnt even try to move the ball at all in the fourth. The first pass doesnt need to result in an assist it just needs to initiate the offense, thats what these guys dont seem to understand.
