From a Bay Area writer:
"...when you watch the Cavs play. They haven’t had a clear idea what they’re doing since the beleaguered Blatt took the job before last season. LeBron is the coach, in effect, and the offense invariably defaults to isolation plays...
...
"Blatt can’t be long for that town. He’s a worldly, engaging man who became a deeply respected coach throughout Europe, but here’s a question I’d pose to NBA players, executives or insiders: Who would you like to coach your team right now, Blatt or a guy who two years ago was playing for a Rec League team called Wonder Bread in Redondo Beach? [Luke Walton]"
From a Mistakers pencil:
"Conversely, the Cavs played as if the last place they wanted to be was The Q. They were lethargic and appeared to be intimidated. They were disjointed and indecisive offensively. They had no answers for Golden State's shot-making, quickness and five-on-a-string teamwork.
"Studio analyst Shaquille O'Neal said: "It's an embarrassing first half. The Cavs don't have a sense of urgency.... Golden State said: 'We beat you before when you didn't have Kevin Love. We don't care who's on the court. This is what we do.'''
Shaq continued: "I think Golden State is inside the heads of the Cleveland Cavaliers.''
Smart guy, Shaquille O'Neal.
