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

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.

i'm not sure what you're talking about. The Cavs have taken the 2nd most 3s in the NBA this season. On top of that, they attempt more 3s and have a higher 3pt% than GS, so they're a better 3pt shooting team than GS.

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