They have no half court game to speak of. And, they can not guard Sheed at all and can not stay with Rip. What I worry about a bit is our poor perimeter defense (Wade, Le Bron, Ginobli). We don't seem to have a perimeter stopper. That could be a problem. As for Evans in particular, if he doesn't start hitting that three, his rebounding won't matter.
Dude, just no. Look, we were down 6 when Evans came in. Evans own personal mistakes (always his except for in two instances) gave Cleveland a score every single time down. And we only scored one time, on a strictly one on one move from Prince. This put us down 19 before Evans came out of the game.

Sure some players did not have good games. But some did. And Cleveland ain't all that. We should have won the game.

Sorry, you just can't dismiss a minus 13 performance by one player when that player single handedly for the most part gave the other team a bucket time after time. And on offense, the guy just sat there in his spot. Real hard for the other team to defend that, right. Evans gave us nothing, and the other team everything, in that stretch of about 4 minutes. Ugly. No way will I just say we lost just because.
