The Cavs watched Harden get cooked all night and never once thought to run a pick and roll at Brunson. That's the part I can't get past.
If you see a guy getting destroyed on one end, the answer is simple — make the other team's star guard deal with the same thing. Force the switch, trap him, make him work. They didn't do it. And when they did try to double in the fourth, it was haphazard at best.
You cannot just let Harden stand there and get roasted and then do nothing about it on the other end. If that's the plan, pull him out. The offense wasn't working anyway.
