I think they will. They'll make a conscious effort to move the ball. I'm not so sure that simply moving the ball would have resulted in a win Thursday. Prevented the game from ending in blowout fashion? I'd like to think so. Resulted in a win though? Hard to say it would have though. They have more than ball movement to clean up

Scott Foster is doing game 2... welp looks like this series is tied up.

Ball movement or defenive movement?

Anytime kyrie switches im curious to see what they're going to do.

And I'm sure steph and klay wont be the derozan lowry of game 2

Curry last year shot an ungodly percentage in the playoffs, especially corner 3s where he was like high sixties or over 70%.

Warriors could use that Curry.

23, what's the percentage on teams winning the series down 0-2?

Movement OFF the ball is/was the bigger issue than ball movement for the Cavs.

You can move the ball with 5 guys standing in the same spot but what good is it against opposing defenses when nobody is moving when they don't have the ball in their hands?

That's the part they need to figure out coming into tonight and I think they will. Defensively, I think they have the right mindset about how they want to defend GSW so I don't think they need to make any extreme changes on that end.

Lue basically said "they switch 1 through 5" about 10 times in his presser and his conclusion was when they switch, it basically makes the only options one-on-one iso ball. He said the key is to exploit the switches and take advantage of LeBron/Love in the post with those mismatches.

They likely won't change anything here...opens up too many other issues.

They just need Kyrie to take some pride in his defense. They aren't picking on him because he's physically limited. He's 6'3 and string enough to create space on 7 footers and finish. He can use those same strengths on defense..

His attention to detail is just awful.

Kevin Love on the other has played some tough defense...I swear I've never seen him go for as many blocks as I have last game.
