Terry Pluto: 'Will the Cavs be the best version of themselves in the playoffs? Probably not. But neither will New York. This is likely to be a rugged, sometimes ugly series. But the Cavs will prevail in seven games.'
They will be “a better version of ourselves than in the regular season.”“ the way our guys committed ourselves to defense,” said the Cavs coach. “ the way our guys guard. You face the same opponent over and over again … It gives you an opportunity to be the best version of your defense.”The more time you have to prepare for a team, the better the defense should be.
I hope Bickerstaff is right. But the reason defenses tend to improve in the playoffs is why it’s harder to score on offense. Yes, you can change some signals. You can add a few plays. But you’re not about to come up with a brand new offense for the postseason.
