The worst part is when DeMar drifts away from a shooter he doesn't do ANYTHING. Nothing. He is not shutting down drives with help D. He is not getting weak side blocks. He doesn't poke the ball away. He just drifts too far into no-man's land to recover to his shooter in time. Should be the easiest thing to just stand next to Korver and not move."We're playing in a building." -- Kawhi Leonard

This is what I would say to DD:
Demar, you're excused from helping anyone on defence. You don't have to get rebounds, go for steals or position yourself for a fastbreak either. But you have one job: Always stay less than a foot away from Korver. I don't care if someone else has an open lane right in front you, if Korver is near, you're on him. You learned to be selfless on offence, but on defence, on this matchup, you can be selfish. Stay on your man and forget the rest.
JR and Korver combined for 39 points. That's what costs us the game. That's it. Everything else is noise.

OG probably did a better job on Lebron than Indy did all series. But the Raps let a couple of the other guys go off in a way they didn't the whole 7 games vs. the Pacers.

This was said on the broadcast: on the 4 games cavs won against indy, Korver averaged 13 points. On the 3 they lost, he combined for less than 10.
I have seen people with a lot of different opinions here , but "stay home on cavs shooters" is as close to consensus as I've ever seen. Do that and we take this series.
