And so yeah, if they had made a couple more of those then they would have had fewer attempts because some of those were put back

But that is not survivable by any way shape of form and I expected to get better

But it has to be a lot better to be tolerable yet to put that 34 in perspective the league leader took

31 shots per game at the rim that's per game

Uncontested dunks and transition. I mean Durant had six dunks in the first half the most you'd ever had in a whole playoff game before was four

That per ESPN stats and info so that that was one takeaway

I think just that for Cleveland whether it was failing to get back in transition obviously the turnovers hurt there

They gave up 27 fast break points to the Warriors

But it wasn't even like golden states back cuts, right?
