This one hurts because we had the game under control. Denver had lost confidence and we had taken the crowd out of it. But then LeBron decides to start shooting 3’s, which of course all missed, then the Nuggets run it back down for a score. It gave them energy and got the crowd going and just to make things even worse AD starts jacking up 3’s too. We totally forgot how to play and what got us the lead, just to go for stupid, low percentage “hero ball” shots. This is the same old story that we’ve seen LeBron doing all too often, but on steroids in this game.

Someone has to tell LeBron he’s open for reason… don’t shoot 3’s! Let Reeves or DLO or Shröeder run the offense and DLO, Reeves, Rui to do the long range shooting. And don’t change how we’ve been playing at the end of games, keep attacking and playing the way that was working for us all game up to that point.

Lost confidence? They showed more fight than us. I can argue we did.

It all changed when LeBron and then AD started chucking 3’s which let them get some easy fast breaks and go on a big run. We were looking like the better team before that.
