INDEPENDENCE, OHIO– The Cavaliers have had some up-and-down offensive games since the trade deadline, and most people have chalked up their struggles to the team integrating four new players.
Head coach Tyronn Lue has a more in-depth explanation: predictability.
After Monday’s practice, Lue said that due to the current limits on their playbook, the Cavs’ opponents are able to anticipate their offense, which mainly consists of zeroing in on LeBron James. To try and mitigate some of that, Lue said he added in “six or seven” new sets at practice on Monday.
“I thought today was a good day, a good teaching day,” Lue said.
