The game tightens up, and guys like LeBron stop playing matador defense. It will be a lot harder to get those wide open looks, and not all of our shooters have shown the ability to create shots. Look at game 7 against the Nuggets last year at 80-78, with the Jazz 8-34 from three, because they were right in our faces most of the night.
Can we win lower scoring playoff series against strong defensive teams? I don't think we know yet.
