I think Stevens did the right thing. LeBron crushed us, but our second half defense on net was successful all the same. I thought many of those picks were moving, so they could have worked the refs more, and Brown could have worked around them a few times, but if we play D like we did in the second half, we will be fine.
When Brown was on LeBron straight up, I thought he was impressive. He's going to be a defensive monster for a very long time.
We lost because we were a mess on defense in the first half, and because we made endless unforced mistakes on offense. Rozier and Brown had a disastrous first quarter, but were pretty great the rest of the way, and Baynes played well, but everyone else was awful wire to wire. We could have won this one if just one or two other guys played average.
