  1. The problem with the Cavs often is taking their foot off the gas/neck when they have teams down 15 to 20 points. Why keep shooting 3s, especially with 2 minutes remaining in a quarter as an example or in the meat of a quarter? WHY KEEP SHOOTING 3s for nails in the coffin, but miss and lack on defense?- THE TEAMS ALWAYS COME BACK for a nail biter- WHERE IS THE THE CRUSHING WINS?!! You have them forcing shots, yet early in a shot clock up 13, you have a quick run to half court by DG who shoots and misses or Strus or whoever — YOU GIVE THE OTHER TEAM ADVANTAGE to turn the page/momentum!! This is the real reason many think the NBA is scripted!!!! You eat clock, dribble, pass and take high percentage shots with this, then to run down and shoot real quick in the 14 seconds to miss, and let the points slip away and not make adjustments at the end of the game!! Fans are watching it looks VERY SUS! Eat the clock up at 15 points with 3 minutes left, move the ball, create the shot, not chuck 3s!!

  2. The problem is simply that once they get a lead, they're is a lack of ball movement that helped them get the lead… players feel entitled to just do whatever on their own because they know they have a cushion. They are not disciplined and they are not principled. That's the problem, and it will cost them.

  3. There was nothing wrong on cavs end what the problem is the refs started to bullshit.

    Miss traveling calls
    Moving screens
    Oh and possession when Mobley had the ball.

    Tony brothers sucks

  4. This is the BEST I have ever seen Davion Mitchell play…Miami is not a joke…very good composed win for the Cavs!!! DM finding his 3 ball is HUGE moving forward!

  5. Good test and I like the Miami matchup, it's good for our development. This series is a nice round 1 for us especially for Evan and JA… Find your way to make your mark

  6. Donavon jacks a three attempt, next Tyler comes down and jacks a three attempt, next Hunter comes down and jacks a three…. no ball movement and no cuts that can lead to good shot opportunities… this is an area in which I hope Donavon can grow in his leadership. They are fun when they pass the ball!
