Even with Donovan having his worst 4 game stretch as a Cav, we should have won in 5 or 6. We acquired multiple ball handlers to handle pressure, yet we still haven't learned how to get the ball up the court since the disaster in the Pacers series last year.
Other repeatable mistakes keep happening:
- Defensive Scheme: The over helping in the paint is clearly by design, and we are just gifting them wide open 3s.
- Rotations: Kenny is still forcing a 10 man rotation when it needs to be 8 or 9. It took until the end of Game 6 to realize Wade should be in over Strus.
- Turnovers: I get this is on the players, but does Kenny even talk to them about decision making?
- Late Game Offense: We have to have the ugliest end of game offense in the league with this iso ball.
I’ve been a JA critic, but him, Mobley, and Wade were the only ones playing with actual intensity. This falls on Kenny, Mitchell, and the other rotational wings to a lesser extent
