I mentioned multiple layers of an offensive system before. Loves value to the Cavs is as a spacer on the first level offense and post/cutter on the second level when spacing and drives to the basket break down.
Last night with spacing shitting down it would of been good to see the half court offense develop but Delly for whatever reason didnt trust the offense to develop and it cost them a run.
Love is still struggling with confidence in his role on the team. he gets easily frustrated when he does come in and doesnt get the ball but he has to learn to keep at it If love is gonna step up it needs to be within the system not changing the system when people are out... this is how teams still maintain success when guys are out. it didnt work out against the pacers but that doesnt mean it wasnt the best option. the guys played poorly as a team so lost as a team.
speaking of playing as a team
