I mean, LeBron let Lance's physicality get in his head and didn't protect the ball as a result. It's something that regularly happens with him and Lance.
Not that he did it on purpose or wasnt trying... but those were MENTAL errors and I'm not sure how that's debatable.
Think I read his was still on a minutes restriction -not positive. But in all other phases it was poor coaching.
It's poor coaching.
Lue does not have the balls to question LeBron and he rides him for 40mins and the whole second half so he's fatigued and ball hogging.
JR had his best game by far, barely any shots in 4th. Love no shots in the 4th. IT barely any shots in the 4th. D Rose was not put back in with a hot hand to take some ball handling duties.
Terrible.

And the carelessness with the ball is not necessary. It’s not like he has to play a 1.5x normal speed to create his excellence, thus leading to some TO’s
Half of the TO’s seem like he’s trying to split his attention on what he’s doing and what the other 9 players are doing
The other half are him doing Globetrotters shit that just isn’t necessary that many times per game.
I mean, sure there might be a legit 2-3 TO’s to be expected just due to his usage and the in traffic drives to the hoop, but those are the outlier. Not the norm
Frustrating

Its called playing 11 mins in the 3rd and then starting the 4th as the primary ball handler....on one of those nights where LeBron already has the turnover problem going.
Its making a bad situation worse. We're up 17. Have another legit ball handler on the floor.
But yea Lance really got in his head. Up double figures and Lance caused all those turnovers.

Everything isn't gonna be fixed in one night, but the Cavs played a hell of a game for most of the night. Without LeBron turning it over 11 times, we would have cruised to a high double digits victory. It still didn't ever get any closer than 5 with under 2 minutes left.
There was a boatload of positive to take from this game. Yeah, there was some ugly play as well and IT and Bron need to protect the ball better. But even IT hit two really important jumpers to stall 2 late Pacer runs despite struggling in multiple other facets of the game. Everyone on the court did SOMETHING positive. We got encouraging play out of Tristan,. The starting lineup looked 1000000x better with the change. Rose looked great.
I mean...given what we just went through I can't believe the shit attitudes coming from some of you in here. You don't build Rome in a day and you don't completely fix the disaster we were over the last 14 games in a day.
But we did get a quality win over a legitimate playoff team that was shooting the ball pretty well mostly all night.

I just ignore the lebron complaining bullshit now honestly.. it’s getting ridiculous.. Lue literally just gives him and IT the ball and tells them to make a play out of thin air when they see it.. instead of actually coming up with a game plan for the game to follow against different teams and drawing up decent plays.. he sucks.. it took him this long to finally change up the line up and bring back frye who really helps the bench spread the floor better.

Lue questions and challenges LeBron more than any coach he’s ever had.
Question the rotations all you want but the LeBron thing is not on Lue. And there’s no coach that will change LeBron.
LeBron is LeBron and he is going to do what he wants and what in his mind he thinks is best and historically, what LeBron thinks is best is him “running” the offense late in games or whenever things get mucked up.
Also, I was excited to see Rose have a momentary hot streak and hit some jumpers but that is not something you want to count on or keep going back to the well on.

I'm not saying fatigue wasn't a single factor...but far from being the ONLY factor like you're insinuating. Lance was a factor. The big lead was a factor. A lot of it was mental for different reasons.
