Cleveland's offense is horrible to watch. There is no flow. Its awful. Fortunately for them, Detroit has been just as bad (lazy). Pistons take the next two despite baby sheed. This has been a really bad series. Lebron is gaining confidence but there are only so many fallaway from 16 feet, end up 28 feet from the basket, a guy can make.
Utah next game will be a real test for Sloan's leadership. He is very good at bringing seemingly lost teams back. They have the type of play and the players to match the Spurs. Does the team believe this. This will be an interesting game. Utah has no success against the Spurs on the road. There really are no excuses for this. Spurs win 4-1. But will Utah battle or lay down? Kirilenko has been a real dissappointment in these playoffs. A very fragile player mentally. His shot is absolutely gone. All he can do is block shots and dunk. Has Sloan ruined this guy, has his bad hair played a major role, what is tha deal?
Having only two offensive threats has really hurt Utah. Okur was a major problem for the Spurs regular season.
