INDEPENDENCE, Ohio -- Kyle Korver wanted to make something clear when asked about the Cleveland Cavaliers' new offensive approach, one necessitated by the loss of LeBron James this summer and Kyrie Irving a year earlier.
"Not that I hated it before," Korver said. "I like basketball. But I definitely like to move. That's a big part of my game and it always has been. Running around and trying to create offense with energy."
Korver's clarification is wise. It's tough to nitpick a system that finished top 5 in offensive efficiency four straight years. No matter how the Cavaliers went about it and as frustrating as it was from time to time, the system yielded the desired results.
