You actually trust JR to do something other than shoot?
I trust him to be able to do the things that every other player in the NBA can do, yes. This is an outrageous argument on your part. Seriously if he passed the ball from the wing to the top of the arc 100 times how many times does the opponent steal that pass? We are talking the most basic of the most basic skills here. You are talking as if this was a youth basketball game.

Cavs defense was better in the 2nd half but no way the Cavs could win this with both Kyrie and Love struggling so much

it was a matter of time before the Cavs shooting cooled off a little bit.

If Toronto can pull off game 4 we've got a series. LeBron even drew a bogus 3rd foul on Lowry.

LeBron got some bullshit calls tonight, man.

Edit: I don't expect Toronto to win game 4, but one can hope.

Are you going to comment on the Lowry flop, and the no call on the Biyombo "block" of Thompson, or does that not fit your narrative?

So you want more ball movement where the ball ends up where? What is the end goal here because they were going up against one of the best defensive teams in the league. Someone is going to have to create shots, that doesn't just happen by making passes. What you're describing here is basically the first 10-15 seconds of a college offense, one of these players is going to have to dribble and make a decision

The LeBron flop on Lowry's 3rd foul was pretty weak as well.

But hey... Fuck it. If you can get the call, do your shit.

Random thought: How the fuck has Nick Collison stayed with the same team (let alone stayed in the league) for 13 years?

You really don't understand the advanced principles of basketball. I'm not going to waste my time arguing with you. But I will give you a couple examples of what I'm talking about, the Spurs of a few years back and the current Atlanta Hawks. The Cavs couldn't have executed to that level but those teams are an example of good coaching and good execution.
