This isn't an accident or luck. We are NOT going to let the Hawks beat us with threes. They just asked LeBon about how the team has disrupted the Hawks' initial actions and forced them into ISO ball which in turn has taken away their ball movement which led to so many of their threes this year, and LeBon laughed as if saying, "I'm not going to tell you our gameplan."
The Cavs have the best three-point defense in the playoffs (29% allowed).
JR is allowing 19% (who the hell saw JR being one of the best if not THE best closeout wing defenders on threes??)
James is allowing 24%
Shump is allowing 26%
Blatt and staff have done a remarkable job establishing a defensive philosophy and then implementing it.
Shump has had the pleasure of guarding the teams best 3 point shooters, thus why he is higher than JR. Not to take away from JR, but lets not forget how amazing Shumps D has been.
