Game 40 | Cavaliers @ Nets | January 20th, 2016, 7:30 PM EST

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
The way the guys moved in the fourth with the Delly-Shump-JR-JJ-TT lineup is the way the guys need to move at all times.

Far too often this team will run a pick and roll with the other three guys literally doing nothing. At the very least, have the guys on the weakside wing and corner switch spots. The Spurs do this all the time. Sometimes they don't even set picks, they just switch spots. Why? Because it gets the defense moving. When the defense doesn't have to react to the guy they're guarding, they can provide better help. Simply by MOVING, you're forcing your man to keep tabs on you and hurting his concentration.

I swear, for a team with LeBron James, you'd think they would know this....

Yeah, we do SO much standing there...always have. We make it so easy to just set up and dig in against us.
 
Not much can be said about this win. I kind of expected a win to be honest with you, the biggest takeaway I guess was James only having to play 29 minutes and none in the 4th. Finally a game where from the tip they were the aggressor and even Love got in on that with a double-double in the first half.

Rest up, you got the Clippers tomorrow at home.
 
you forgot Thompson

I left TT out because his shots are about second chance shots and finding seams in a collapsing defense. We don't run plays for him, nor should we. So him getting 4 shots or 10 shots in a game, isn't really of indicative of how we are running the offense.

Every point the guy gets is putback, FF, or ally opp it seems now and then he makes a very nice post shot. T.T is more valuable than you think. He has been crap this year up till a week ago but he is looking like the T.T we know now. Kind of like the whole team... Like Bron teams start to do this time of year. I do not care who people cry about anymore. T.T and Love are both very useful to this team more than most think.

The if about T.T is will he get any better, To the point you can run a play for him. He is a focus of teams this year more than ever before but he has to have a decent O game for us to really move on after Bron declines. I forgot what thread I am even in right now so I will leave at that.
