They only hit 18 2 point baskets. 18!? That's barely more than 1 every 3 minutes. No offense rebounding other than Tristan and Lebron has to have the ball at all times and sometimes gets out of control (7 TO's). They were actually fortunate to even be in this game. Bulls missed a ton of easy shots early. Bulls D had them locked up most of the night and like I said if 3's don't fall they may not score 80.
If Kyrie can't run the offense and be aggressive, the Cavs are likely to go down in 5. With a gimoy Irving and without Love, Lebron's supporting cast is worse than in the old days in Cleveland.
