CLarkson and Hood are missing shots for 20 straight games, but for most of ppl its Lue's fault. Cedi misses a couple and everyone is like "rookie mistakes!! cant play him!"".

It's Lue fault. The coaching staff changed Hood shot for some strange reason even though he was shooting 37% from three. Have no idea why Wade was traded Clarkson needs another ball handler to reign him. No mention his not playing Nance who's wayyyyyyy better the TT in ever single way. Don't get me started in the rotations and the fact it took 90 games to settle in a starting lineup.


Cavs/Lue never like to play young inexperienced guys - it’s true almost all the time, but especially in the playoffs. Them not playing Cedi and Nance doesn’t surprise me at all. I’m actually surprised they are playing Clarkson - maybe cause he is a guard. They just like older veteran guys - or maybe it’s a LeBron thing.

Those two shots very early in the shotclock on consecutive possessions by Kyle and Derozan were killers. Smh, just bad basketball.

I don't know what the hell Casey does in practices. This team has been biting on pumpfakes and charging into set defenders in the paint all series long, and nothing has changed to address these issues.

Toronto's guys jump at everything. Korver, LeBron, and Love get so many bunnies at the rim because they pump fake and Love always gets guys with the double pump from three.

Its a really glaring difference between the well coached teams and the not. The Spurs are the best team ive seen over the years at staying disciplined enough not to do those things, and the Celtics are really good at it too.
