Why do the Cavs resort to shooting pull-up jumpers when the other team gets hot?

Almost all the time.
Does Ty Lue even address this during the games? Or do the players disregard him and do what they want?
First 2 1/2 or 3 quarters the Cavs are cruising and playing efficiently: Distributing, driving, drawing double-teams, and drawing fouls. You look up, and they're sitting comfortably with a double-digit lead.
Suddenly, the other team goes on a run and they almost instantly abandon their game plan and become this Pseudo-Warriors squad. They figure they can just shoot their way back ahead, which usually results in missed shots and long rebounds, giving the opposing team an advantage in transition.
They're getting by now, but it's going to catch up with them as they play against much tougher teams.

Lebron has done it at times for years and years. Pisses me off. Though I don't guess you can drive to the basket every single time.
Taking those shots after dribbling in place for 18 seconds is ridiculous, though.

You apparently did not look at the 2nd quarter closely enough. They ran plays to set up 3s. It's part of how they are built dating back to last year.

May we have more watershed moments on the morrow.

Because that's what LeBron tells them to do.

If you're talking about long 2pt jumpers...they took 3 2 pointers outside the paint in the 4th quarter, made 2 of them.

That's any basketball team, if your opponent starts hitting your team gets desperate and disfunctional and throw up jumpers and trey balls to try to keep up

That makes no sense.
