so close. damn. good game regardless
Meh. It was never close. The writing was on the wall the whole game, the lack of defensive stops murders this team every night. They don't put their hands up, instead the reach for steals and hope the team misses.
I disagree with this. Tonight, it was one guy. The rest of the team honestly defended hard and it showed. Outside of Lopez, the NEts shot 40% even. But Tyler Zeller being so skinny and weak is the sole reason this game was lost. Everyone else, for the most part, did their job on defense.
I meant more in general - that is the way the Cavaliers play defense. Zeller was the main killer tonight. Actually, last night as well.

But it does seem the Cavs, overall, have played better defense. Kyrie, despite the complaints, is playing better on the ball and the rest of the team has picked it up. It's just, right now, Tyler Zeller is too damn weak to be an even adequate defender, and w/o Varejao, we still look bad.
