That's why you can't explore it at least when James is it. When he is in maybe but it is so out of character for the cavs. The Cavs are playing like Mike Woodson is their coach. It's okay to post up/iso but run movement to free up the player first and not let the defense set up.

Would not mind posting James up down low, but he has to be the ball handler. They mentioned that Mozgov was getting down the floor to establish position. Would not mind running the ball through James down low, sometimes.
Iggy making it tough for him to drive to the basket all the time- might be nice to vary his use.

I'm sorry I meant they should not explore posting Thompson when James is off the floor

Lol. Every good move stump makes I start shaking my head before he lays it up because I believe a miss layup is coming

Shump n JR have been mostly garbage. This is why they had to go. They may yet have a good moment but that doesn't change the truth. They aren't players you can depend on.

mreinman @ 6/16/2015 11:09 PM

james needs to go hard at the basket on every play. Stop settling for silly long jumpers.

stopstandthere @ 6/16/2015 11:09 PM

Shump and JR just can't play under pressure.

GustavBahler @ 6/16/2015 11:13 PM

At least Shump has been playing some high level D, JR has been crapola. Will be surprised if the Cavs dont try to move him.

Legs are shot, and its not as easy to get by the quicker guys they put on him. You can see that his jumpers are flat and hitting the front rim- sure sign of dead legs.

WaltLongmire @ 6/16/2015 11:19 PM

Mosgov has to go right up with the ball. Pet peeve of mine...putting the ball on the floor to gather yourself and giving a defender time to recover.

Where is Tristan Thompson

holfresh @ 6/16/2015 11:27 PM

James Jones is just killing them defensively

WaltLongmire @ 6/16/2015 11:27 PM

That last pass Curry to Thompson is why MDA had wet dreams about him in that draft.

Nalod @ 6/16/2015 11:32 PM

Cleveland hopes of its savior to lead them to the promise land is sobered by the fact that JR in a Cav uniform.

So you are calling him Judas?

The flopping is ridiculous

yellowboy90 @ 6/16/2015 11:47 PM

I see why Lebron does not like playing the 4, he rarely shows to protect the rim. His defense has been very poor this series and playoffs but he did have a heavy load to carry. He would get an occasional steal but his rotations and on ball D has been terrible.

mreinman @ 6/16/2015 11:47 PM

2-9 for Lebron from 3 killed them

nixluva @ 6/16/2015 11:48 PM

Blatt should've kept Moz in. They have no rim protection.

Shump was only half decent. JR is a straight BUM!!! If JR steps up they could've won this series.

they were down with Moz as well. Moz was getting gassed as well. Moz in nobody guards Iggy.

yellowboy90 @ 6/16/2015 11:53 PM

I'll give Shump and JR some credit for holding Klay down.

yellowboy90 @ 6/16/2015 11:54 PM

JR brought them back to make it close
