Yeah the biggest issue I've seen is lack of rim protection which is allowing the warriors to get out and run and dictate space. Low defensive IQ does that.

its not even low defensive IQ. the Cavs defense was pretty darn good v the east playing Thompson/Love a good bit.
the problem is unique to GS. they go small and they have Kevin Durant and Draymond Green as their frontcourt. that's insane length, speed, rim protection, and versatility on defense. there aren't many teams able to punish that duo on a regular basis on defense. heck, Green didn't even play half the game last time out and Durant dominated defensively as a 5.
and there is no team in the league that can guard that frontcourt. so you can't defend them and beating them for points isn't easy either. it is the ideal of the position-less/small ball revolution. goosed up offense without sacrificing much at all on defense.
the Cavs have a potent version of that themselves, but just can't compete with the Warriors new Death lineup
