Round 3, Game 1 | Cavs @ Atlanta | May 20th, 2015 | 8:30pm EST

The match up on Milsap isn't the problem. Taking so long to initiate and starting so far out is the problem. It's way too easy for Atlanta to get help rotated and there isn't time to swing the ball.

I'm ok with slowing the pace and limiting possessions with a decent lead, but what we are doing has failed multiple times this postseason. We have turned comfortable leads into dangerous situations by shutting the offense down way too soon.

The important thing is LeBron himself realizes he was being dumb.

I think Bazemore will fill in nicely for Carroll. He is a bit smaller and not as good of a shooter, but he is crazy athletic and can disrupt things even more on defense imo.

I actually thought Bazemore was a pretty decent shooter. And it seems like Mike Scott usually plays well against us, I'm surprised they haven't used him. They might now with Demarre out.

He can do that playing 10-15 minutes a game. If he's asked to play 25-30, LeBron is going to absolutely wear him out, foul him out or both.

Atlanta is in a lot of trouble if Carroll is done for this series. They had one good wing defender.

All this driving to the rim is going to be really nice when we start getting some calls in Game 3.

JR won us game.

Game 2 on the road....I'm thinking LeBron or Kyrie is going to have win us that one.

The refs are all about extending the series. We're going to need one of our superstars to carry us home.

Said the same thing after the last game. I don't think he can help himself tbh.
