One final take away from last nights game. Everything Washington did was something I can see them continuing to do. LeBron shot the ball out of his mind in the 4th last night. He's 2 for his last 32 attempts at a game tying or winning 3. The Cavs can't rely on him doing that again going forward. Ian Mahinmi is a body we can put on Love down the road to make it harder on him. He had a top 10 defensive rating last year. Those are the positive take aways from last night if your a Wizards fan.
The negatives were letting Kyrie cook in OT. Wall gives Irvin problems on both ends but letting him go for 11 points in 5 minutes is disturbing and unacceptable. Kyrie has a knack for showing up when the Cavs need him most. He did again last night.
This plus not boxing out and leaving shooters wide open.
I think the issue with facing the Cavs is that you have to account for Kyrie at the end of these games. He can have a horrendous shooting night (8 for 24 was it) and still, if the game is close, you know he's coming. I legit thought the Wizards had it once LBJ went to the bench.

The box out issue is because Morris fouled out and they have a thin bench. I knew when he went out something like this was bound to happen. They need to make some moves if at all possible.
