Game 63 | Pistons (29-34) @ Cavs (36-26)| March 5, 2017 | 7:00 pm EST

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
We’ve played pretty well but only up by 5 points at the half.
 
Honestly, every single time LeBron drives, Larry is open for a dunk or short range shot. And his presence opens up the lane for LBJ for layups, even though LBJ missed a couple. He still had the option to dish them to Nance.

Larry about to have a 40-20 game. Keep feeding this man.
 
I know I'm going to sound nitpicky here, but this possession was infuriating and perfectly illustrates all the angst about LeBron on defense this year:

-He needlessly switches with Hood onto Bullock, forcing Hood onto Blake
-Blake starts to back down from well outside the paint, but Hood seems to be holding his own
-Instead of playing solid defense, LeBron decides to totally abandon Bullock, for no reason, to double Blake
-Blake easily kicks to Bullock for an open three


There's NO REASON for LeBron to double off of the only shooter on the floor when Blake is still five feet from the paint. He did that shit constantly against Denver and got burned.

I get that he doesn't want to exert himself in the regular season. That's fine. But at least keep your brain on.
 
Is LeBron our best 3 point shooter right now? We really fkn need Love back so guys like Hill and Hood can get way more wide open shots. And we need Tristan to go to the G-league.
 
We moved the ball much better. We created tons of scoring opportunities just by driving and dishing. When Lebron was in the post he attacked quickly, was decisive and didn't stall the offense.

This team in a motion offense should be impossible to stop. Share the ball and move your bodies. NOT THAT HARD.
