"Expert" Analysis

After dropping a close game to Brooklyn, the Cavs look to rebound against the worst road team in basketball, the Sacramento Kings. With us having Varejao out, and them having Evans and Thornton out for this one, look for Kyrie and Dion, and Cousins and Thomas, respectively, to get a notable increase in shots for this one. Having Varejao's defense and rebounding missing is actually quite a large factor for this one. Look for Keith Smart's team to pound the ball in to Cousins early and often, challenging Zeller to stop him. Also, look for Kyrie v. Thomas in the backcourt battle. Neither are a great defender, and both have been scoring at will in recent matchups late December. Thompson v. Thompson is a virtual wash. Salmons may bother Dion, but Dion will also likely bother Salmons as well. Gee should get the best of Garcia.


Point Guard Advantage: Cavaliers
Shooting Guard Advantage: Cavaliers
Small Forward Advantage: Cavaliers

Prediction:

Cavaliers 97
Kings 89

Finally, responding to Dion's poor shot selection and CJ's hot streak.

CJ gets to be the official chucker now.
 
Lmaooooooo. Waiters off the bench? Damn. This is very interesting.
 
Surprised it didn't happen sooner honestly. Scott typically makes players earn their starting roles. Dion flat out hasn't.
 
Watching Zeller warm up, I'm thinking that I could abuse him in the post
 
I guess we have our Harden now.

I am not pleased. Picking the 6th man 4th in the draft isn't good.
 
I think CJ starting is more of a reward for CJ's play of late as opposed to a punishment for Dion. It sends a message though. Dion hasn't earned his spot lately.
