Yeah, even though I'm unhappy with tonight, we're still on pace to win like 66 games. We'll be ok.
But we'll need better effort in our next 3 games.

Bench is old and terrible.
Really stagnant offense against the Bucks. They switched almost everything on defense and they have pretty good iso defenders so it just looked really bad.
To counter that the Cavs had to run some sets and use more off ball screens but they didn't. Really tough game to watch if i'm being completely honest.
They just locked the Cavs completely.
Agree with you that our offense could use some extra wrinkles beyond just kicking it out to snipers when things get tough in the middle. We played an energetic and lengthy defence that frustrated it. But that's not to exaggerate the importance of the result. In a real game Lebron would typically be initiating our offense from the post unlike yesterday when he seemed to spend a lot of time at the 3 point line.

If I am Lue I run their asses off in practice next time they practice. Oh you want to loose intensity?? Fine we are going to run ladders until you guys get the message...

Yup. Nothing gets through to NBA players better than the coach making them run suicides after a blowout. And if they're really bad you can always make them do wall squats. That'll teach em.
Agreed. When engaged, this is a defensive assignment that LeBron can handle. Same thing with KD, when the time comes.Most of you guys have been around long enough to have gone through this before. It's hardly the first time the Cavs decided to only play about a quarter of basketball on the road the game before playing one of the top teams.
The answer to Giannis is LeBron coming out of of "chill mode", but don't expect to see that unless the two teams meet in the playoffs.
