Play with a lot of energy. This team likes to have their backs to the wall and it doesn't get any greater than to lose 3 home games. I expect them to win.
I think I would start JJ. The Cavs are slowly figuring out the offense without IT.
Make Irving work on defense.
If we're down in the 4th start hack-a-Tristan and get the ball out of Irving\Bron's hands.
Move the ball, move the ball and move the ball.
It's pretty simple at this point.
You bring up a great point about Tristan Thompson. The national narrative after Game 3 was that the Cavs didn't respect us, and that Marcus Smart played out of his mind. The former is possible, and Smart definitely shot better than he ever has before. But one thing people failed to mention is that Tristan Thompson shot much better from the free throw line than he normally does. That could easily have been a five point swing if he has an average night from the line.
We did an nice job - relatively speaking - of preventing the Cavs from getting second chance points in Game 4. We need to continue to do that, and little things like Thompson regressing back to the mean from the free throw line will also help a lot. Quick sidenote - that dude is a beast. He's the heart and soul of the Cavs, and I'd absolutely love to have him on our team.
