This isn't an accident or luck. We are NOT going to let the Hawks beat us with threes. They just asked LeBon about how the team has disrupted the Hawks' initial actions and forced them into ISO ball which in turn has taken away their ball movement which led to so many of their threes this year, and LeBon laughed as if saying, "I'm not going to tell you our gameplan."
The Cavs have the best three-point defense in the playoffs (29% allowed).
JR is allowing 19% (who the hell saw JR being one of the best if not THE best closeout wing defenders on threes??)
James is allowing 24%
Shump is allowing 26%
Blatt and staff have done a remarkable job establishing a defensive philosophy and then implementing it.
I picked GS to beat us in 7 pre-Love injury. I'm starting to think we have a chance the way we're defending the perimeter even without him.
You're clearly a numbers guy, and most numbers guys are good cap guys also.
Can we sign both Love and TT to max deals? I heard radio guys saying that with way Thompson is playing, if we ship title, we'll have to choose between the two. That felt wrong with us having TT's rights, but couldn't refute it outright as I wasn't sure.
Once again, bravo Coach Blatt. Another excellent gameplan.
