Mozgov and Perkins should not have been there, our defense in the end was great, in the 4Q and in OT and David went with that for a great reason, we didn't had the need to go to any "enforcer" or "defender" from the bench, everyone on the floor did great on that side of the floor, and brought us back to the game.
We needed more passing and less ball hogging till the last second from Lebron, and more scoring by the players around him, JR's points are missing when Kyrie isn't there, he should step up in those kind of occasions, because you can't expect Lebron winning by himself offensively all the time (you won't see NBA2K Lebron every game), and Love is just not enough in a game like this, you needed a dominant third scorer who played decent defense in this game (not like Timo who was clearly below average in defense today, especially against Houston's Lithuanian, even though he scored some points).
In the end, even though lebron was a ball hog and no other scorer stepped up, you can't ask more than your best player on the line with the opportunity to end the game, and he didn't do it today, he was horrendous from the line, and missed some layups with his ball hogging, and that's what killed us eventually.
anyway, it's just one game, we need to forget about it and go ahead to the next one, In the Q, where hopefully everyone will get their confidence back.
