The Cleveland Cavaliers find themselves on the edge of destruction, ready to double down on the tactics that brought them to the abyss.

LeBron James' team has tried running with the Golden State Warriors, only to watch Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant & Co. take a resounding 2-0 lead in the 2017 NBA Finals.

Most would come to a simple conclusion: slow down and stop giving the Warriors so many transition possessions; the Cavaliers would disagree. On Tuesday, LeBron told reporters the Cavs have no plans to cut the pace.

If that's not a smokescreen on the King's part — if Cleveland plans on trying to play the same way, only better — then the city of Oakland might as well prepare to welcome the Warriors and the Larry O'Brien Trophy back after Game 4.
