And the strategy should be kinda the same. Try to slow Bron/Kyrie as much as possible but expect they are gonna get off. But contain all of the other players to whatever extent possible so that none of them make a significant difference. Shump almost won them the game last night. If we keep him at 12-14 points this is a double digit blowout.

I'll give Bron and Kyrie 30 as long as no one else gets more than 12. We have about 7 guys who can get us 20 (Jimmy, Rose, Pau, Niko, Brooks, and Dunny/Snell if hot) if needed so we don't have to depend on significant scoring from just 1-2 guys.

Even last night, we're up 6 late in the 4th, Rose goes iso, misses, Cavs TO, Rose goes iso again, misses, Cavs score, Jimmy says, "I got this." Gets a bucket...6pt lead with seconds left. Game over.

^^^I loved that he took the onus off Rose to close.

Allstar Jimmy Butler.
