Re: Cavalier's 88 Grizzlies 84
what you can say this year is that Brown's philosophy is the exact opposite of Silas' - Silas would put in the offense and worry about defense later on. Brown is putting in the defense and doesn't care about the offense yet. He knows we have guys who can shoot when the time comes to add in offense. CleveRocks said - Execpt for James Gooden, Sasha, and Z we are 8 for 34 shooting. Sounds like last year, right? wrong! Last year we would lose games like that. Tonight we won.
In the postgame show, Brown said he wasn't worried at all by the missed shots. He said guys are a bit tentative because there is no offensive flow yet - they don't know if they should shoot, pass or drive - that causes missed shots. We probably want to work on that a little before the season starts, but I like keeping the focus on defense until they get it down pat. We already see things like 4 blocks from Drew, LeBron and Drew drawing charges, etc.
