Someone pointed it out in the game thread I think the problem isn't stopping LeBron, it's being so short on solution for LeBron that you put Jrue on him leaving Kyrie to go off. Having a more viable SF, which we hopefully will get by next year, would have made a difference. Maybe not as big of an effect as Asik but getting a legit 3 and D SF will definitely be a "whole is greater than the sum of its parts" situation.

Exactly. Having SOMETHING would be better than literally nothing.

I certainly didn't want Aminu back, but I also thought we would have a plan for SF. We don't.

Why did Dell let Casspi go? I mean, he's not great, but he's better than nothing...

D-Miller would have definitely helped on Lebron, but Evans did a pretty decent job all night until the third quarter when he went off and Evans wasn't even guarding him for a lot of that time. I would rather Monty play Evans for his offensive contributions than have Aminu out there doing maybe a slightly better job but he is such a liability on offense. When you play against Lebron you can only ask a defender to contain him and Evans did this for most of the game until our defense was so spread out because of Love and Kyrie going insane that Lebron would have Jrue on him or somebody else and he could post up and get around. +1 to Leonard being the only good defender for him.
