Isang panalo na lang ang layo ng Cleveland Cavaliers para sa isa pang NBA Finals showdown sa Golden State Warriors, pero ayaw pang tingnan ang senaryong iyon ni coach Tyronn Lue.

Todo-isip siya para sa kanyang Cleveland sa game plan para sa bagong tingin na Boston Celtics.

Inihayag niya kahapon na sapul nang mawala si Celtics All-Star point guard Isaiah Thomas sa season-ending hip injury sa game two, mas nahirapan pa silang kalabanin ang Boston, lalo na sa ­depensa.

“The stuff they’re running, it’s harder to defend than Golden State’s [offense] for me, as far as the actions and all the running around and all the guys who are making all the plays, so it’s a totally different thing.

“Like, they hit the post, Golden State runs splits and all that stuff but these guys are running all kinds of [stuff].

“And Brad’s [Stevens] got them moving and cutting and playing with pace and everybody is a threat.”

Kaya nang mausisa siya sa napi­pintong third straight title meeting kontra Warriors, dinagdag ni Lue, na ang team ay abante ng 3-1 sa Boston, namutawi sa kanya, “You can’t. As much as you want to, it’s not over.”
