Re-watching that January 18th game. Solar system night and day between that Cleveland team and this one. My goodness.
Negatives:
- Our defense was just so bad. Moz was the worst. But LeBron and Kyrie were equally bad.
- Kyrie also wasn't interested in scoring if it required a quick first step or jump-shot. He had no faith in his game, body, or three.
- Nobody on Cleveland looked concerned about getting easy buckets for their teammates. Most of the passing was of the "I don't want this $#!+.. you take it" variety.
Positives:
- Kevin played surprisingly good defense on both Draymond AND Curry--wouldn't let Draymond get an angle to drive past him and played his jumpers well. Those vine clips showing his defensive lapses were when Cleveland was already down 50. Nobody cared about the game at that point.
- Steph won't navigate screens like that again this season.
- LeBron and Kyrie haven't played like that in the playoffs and won't. Even in those Toronto losses. Moz is benched.
