David Blatt wtf

[Spaulding]

How you run the same play 5 times in a row. Lebron iso at key, dribbles it in and forces a shot. Resulting in poor shot or turnover. Wtf is going on here. Why aren't that running a set play.

Sure this most recent one worked only cause the Hawks had a defensive breakdown.

Allowed a 11 and 1 run by Hawks.

To waste time obviously

[Bernkastel]

Blame LeCoach. He's the one who runs the show.

[Spaulding]

Blatt is the damn coach. Sure Lebron has his coaches confidence to call plays. But when that isn't working, especially late game playoff situations...unacceptable .

[Spaulding]

To waste time obviously

Ya I understand that totally.

Though towards end of,clock they should be getting a my ch better shot.

tbf lebron should have scored every time

[Mikaiel]

When you have the lead, shouldn't you milk the clock and give the ball to the best ISO player in the league ?

Hawks did great help help D. Lebron should have dished it out.

Apparently, Lebron is the coach when things go well but when they don't, it's Blatt's fault.

He's not the best iso player in league. You could even argue Smith is a better iso player.

Harden probably best iso

He was coach when Cleveland had those bad possessions. Thats my point. Blatt should have adjusted and ran a play or two.

Harden ? You have a point. Pretty good one actually.

Smith ? Really ? Are you serious ?

Anyway, when you have a lead, how many coaches would NOT give the ball to their best player and let them do what they do ? At some point 24s off the game clock is basically as valuable as 2 points.

Pop and Bud easily off top of my head.

I exaggerated with the Smith remark. However Smith is a better Shooter than Lebron. Why not let him iso, put up a jumper and give us a chance for rebound.

Lebron was not trusting his jumper on those series of posessions and he just turned it over easily.

That got a little dicey. I'd guess it was a mutual decision - a kind of "I got Paul Millsap on me, let's run clock and let me isolate" type of thing. However, there may have been a little too much stagnation and perhaps even overconfidence there. Even in super clear mismatches, it can be dangerous to let yourself take that mismatch lightly.

He's not the best ISO player though. He's nowhere near the ISO player he was last year.
