So Tyronn Lue really has no idea what he is doing

GM Lebron asked for this....
quote:
CLEVELAND -- Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue is digging in his heels on his approach to coaching his team despite trailing the Golden State Warriors 0-2 heading into Wednesday's Game 3.
Lue announced Tuesday that he will keep J.R. Smith as his starting shooting guard, even though Smith combined for just three points on 1-for-6 shooting, two rebounds and zero assists, steals and blocks in Games 1 and 2
quote:
Lue also remained steadfast in the Cavs playing with a frenetic pace, even though the Warriors have outscored them 245-204 in the series so far. The Cavs were average, at best, in terms of pace during the regular season, ranking 16th in the league.
quote:
"I think taking good shots when we're playing with pace and not turning the basketball over, letting them get out in transition," Lue said. "So, that's our game. We're not going to change our game because of who we're playing. And I'm confident that we can play that way, and we did it last year. A lot of people said we couldn't. But that's our game. That's who we are. And we're not going to change just pause we're playing Golden State."
quote:
The Cavs are playing at a quicker pace than LeBron James has ever played before. James has played with an average pace of 90.6 possessions per game in his 14-year career, according to ESPN Stats & Information. In the Finals, the Cavs are averaging 105.5 possessions per game so far.

His comments about how Stevens was confusing him were pretty shocking.
You do have to concede that the move paid off last year, although I think that success was more about the team just having a better attitude than under Blatt.

Lebron has his fingerprints all over the game plan. And he's a basketball genius so we gotta believe that's their best chance to win. Righ?

Lue, like everyone else who LeGoat has had as coach, is a fricking joke

No way this guy doesn't know what he is doing:

JR is a streaky off-the-bench guy. He's dynamic if he's hot but a real liability if cold. He shouldn't be starting anywhere much less in the NBA finals.

Sounds like Dan Quinn's approach to a 25 point lead in the Super Bowl.

Lebron is gassed by early 3rd quarter. The wheels fall off around that point.
GS takes over late 3rd/early 4th.
MSB says LeBron quit
Here...we...go....

Call me crazy but i wouldn't have benched Thompson and wouldn't going forward.
He's playing like shite, that is obvious. But I don't think CLE can win playing Jefferson as much as he has and the other guys who are filling in for Thompson. They can only win if Thompson plays well, and there's zero chance of that if he's on the bench. Not that there's a great chance if he's on the court, but it's their only chance IMO, short of LeBron/Kyrie both going off at the same time...but that's also unlikely to happen 4 out of 5 games.

That's a stupid thing to say. Of course you don't always change your play based on who you're playing, but sometimes you should when your opponent plays your style better than you do it.
Guy has unwarranted hubris. He thinks he knows what he's doing because things lined up just right for him last year.

He's an idiot if he keeps the pace. Get those second chance points, crash the boards, protect the rim.
I don't mind keeping JR at guard but the faster the pace, the worst his decision-making gets.
Bench Korver.
Bench Shumpert.

I couldn't agree with you more.
Cleveland needs to slow it down and play physical with Lebron and Love catching the ball as close to the basket off screens and flashing in the low post. Their play designs should be suited towards getting the ball inside and out as GS can switch everything. They run horrible play designs for ball entry into the low box. No creativity and not physical whatsoever. Last year they were; I don't know why they are playing so soft right now.
They can even put Irving in the post as he did very well last year in the post. Go back to what worked last year. Play physical and beat them up.
Even Thompson was getting in on the action last year in pick-n-roll situations crashing towards the basket for easy putbacks or offensive boards.
The coaching has been more than subpar this series.
If he sticks to his guns they are toast. They may be toast anyways though and wouldn't matter what he did.

The JR Smith and Tristan Thompson contracts are terrible. I have no idea who they were bidding against (keep in mind Tristan's contract was before the salary cap increase).
As for Lue, he's clearly not an elite coach. I don't know how LeBron would respond to this, but they should get a guy like Ettore Messina.

Isn't he just a suit to stand there while Lebron directs traffic?
Posted on 6/7/17 at 10:34 am to StraightCashHomey21
JR Smith has been invisible.
Posted on 6/7/17 at 10:34 am to StraightCashHomey21
I buy keeping JR in the lineup at least one more game since you're going home and players like him thrive in that environment. Taking him out doesn't really fix anything either way so may as well say frick it.
