    The Good

    Reaves and Lebron sparking the comeback. AD strong on D and boards. Prince making plays.

    The bad

    AD a no show on offense. Lebron and Hayes missed 4 straight fts. Lebron unnecessary heat check 3 when we are up 2. Lebron bad pass to AD for turnover. Reaves 8 second violation with Kyrie defending. Reaves leaving Kyrie open for go ahead 3.

    They lost it I don’t think because of lack of effort but by blowing chippy after chippy. There must have been 10-12 missed easy shots at the rim from multiple players. LeBron had three at the start of the game. Channeled his inner Westbrick and had all that energy and burst to the rim, and then uncharacteristically for him …. had no touch once he got there. Usually a strength of his. Plus sloppy TOs from him in crunch time and elsewhere. Bad decisions and TOs at the end of the game both him and AR, but they had great runs in the 4th to bring us back to be in a position to win the game after all those easy misses.

    No change in the clutch : a tired and old Lebron making bad plays , AD a no show .. Can't expect to win it all by repeating the last season's mistakes

    90% of the players in the association would do the same mistake : They dumbly repeat what they have been taught without taking the score and situation into account .

    The season we won the title , Mavs were up 3 with little time left and rotated on a Lebron drive to the basket who kicked it to Danny Green who sent the game in OT ..

    AD iso is always the answer, actually. it's just impossible because no defense allows it.

    The right, AD came alive on offense in the second half with 23! Max Christie was excellent on both ends. Reaves with some clutch play down the stretch. I've been missing HIM and he returned. Hayes and Wood really showed up as well.

    The wrong, first half D was nonexistent, but we corrected it in the second half. Lebron's shot was off.

    All in all though kind of surprising but welcome win to start the road trip against a pretty good Cavs team.
