det can beat Cleveland now. dre is the key

[Todd3]

The key is defense which was just awful yesterday not Drummonds scoring

44% FG, 35% 3FG, 38 points in the paint. All below their season averages. What are you expecting?

That is probably as good as it's going to get against this team.

Considering they've been #2 on offense with Lue, that is actually a very good job defensively.

Rebounding was the problem, not defense.

Love at center would be one of the worst teams defensively at 112 DRTG but rocks a 130 ORTG

If drummond is covering love on the perimeter nobody can reasonably help on lebron drives

I know we were able to hang in there, but we also shot very well from 3-point land, which is rare is for us especially on the road. Cleveland's big 3 all played well and if we want to win we need to try and at least shut down one of them. Lebron is one of the best players on the planet and Kyrie is an elite pg, something we have struggled against all season so we have to concentrate on somehow stopping Love.

I like your thinking. I'll be the first to tell you that Kevin Love is as inconsistent as anyone in the league, and he won't be putting up 28 and 13 throughout the series.

The key for Detroit is to make sure that, when Love has his 12 point 10 rebound game, they don't allow JR Smith to go 6/9 from 3pt range, and they don't allow Delly to end up with 14 pts and 8 assists.

If SVG can manage to keep Kyrie a bit inefficient while preventing JR and Frye and Delly from getting hot, Detroit's gonna have a great shot to win games. Cause Kevin Love won't put up those numbers consistently.

Detroit's a great team, good luck (not really ) for the rest of the series!

Cleveland is so stupid, they could just put Frye at the 5 and Love at the 4 and have Detroit scratching their head.
Frye is 55% from 3 on wide open 3's.

You guys have so many weapons its insane. Not only do you have the greatest trio in the league, but in the event we manage to slow down one of them you have dead-eye 3-point shooters to come in to pick up the slack. When we traded for Harris we really should have tried to pry away Frye as well. I wouldn't count on us shooting so well from outside to keep the game close again. I hope SVG comes up with a plan to use our bigs to slow down Love when he switches to Center, otherwise we will get swept.

Stupid like a fox.

I'll take Curry, Draymond, and Klay any day over Bron, Kyrie, and Love.
