Trouble ahead!
Sometimes, even fans can tell when things are going south, which means the situation must be dire.
The game had just restarted when the Bulls put together a 10-3 "surge."
That's when Cavaliers fans realized that, compared to the offensive woes caused by Marion's absence, the exposed defensive problems without him were even greater.

Originally, he contributed an average of 8.5 points and 4.5 rebounds per game this season.
