Semi Ojeleye may have finished off the Cavaliers
Cavs coach Tyronn Lue is getting blasted for 1) his failure to insert Kyle Korver into the 1st and 3rd quarters of last night’s game and 2) explaining that his decision was based on Semi Ojeleye’s absence.
“Well, initially, he’s been putting Ojeleye in,” Lue said of Stevens after the game Wednesday. “So that’s been kind of Kyle’s matchup when he comes in the game. He didn’t play him tonight, so it kind of threw us for a loop.”
Is Lue implying that he only trusts Korver to defend Ojeleye? If anything, Korver’s defensive surge against Jaylen Brown in Game 4 should have earned him more minutes.
