Ultimately, this is my take on the overarching problem with the offense on this team.
You win in the NBA by creating and making open 3s. That's the game now. Love it or hate it.
THe Cavs only two truly reliable 3 point shooters are ALSO the only two guys who can handle the ball and break down the defense.
And therein lies the problem.
There's no one else on the roster who you're afraid of shooting open 3s. Maybe Kevin Love one the rare night he's feeling it, which is less and less as he ages.
Likewise, there's basically no one else who can take the ball and create shots for those 2. Delly in like tiny little spurts, but teams have started to figure out he actually can't score the ball from anywhere on the court anymore and are just ignoring him and playing passing lanes.
Above all else, they need good, reliable spot-up shooting this off-season.
