A former Cavaliers head coach used to preach the importance of this – and he did so unintentionally enunciating every syllable. (Maybe that’s why it stuck with so many members of the media.)
The word is “con-tin-u-i-ty.”
And the World Champs haven’t had much of it during the latter half of the regular season.
For the first time since just before Christmas, the Cavaliers have finally had some continuity. It took four months of hard work and handwringing in between, but the Wine and Gold are finally fully loaded.
Even with J.R. Smith having to miss the second half of Monday’s Game 2 win over Indiana at The Q, the Cavaliers didn’t even switch assignments – inserting Iman Shumpert, who held Paul George to 4-for-11 shooting after intermission while going 2-of-3 for five points in relief.
