Cavs vs. Pacers -- Wednesday, Oct. 15, 7:00pm (FSO and NBA TV)

I guess LeBron wants to remind everyone he can still do it.

LeBron is beasting

Ain't afraid of no hibberts

We're not gonna be asking Haywood to do much. Alter shots, rebound, bang down low, foul when necessary. I'm kinda glad we have him to throw out there when the matchup is right.

that was a pretty move by Tristan...just couldn't get it to drop

 

[All4One1ForAll]

But you are already making judgements on how he will look without really seeing them in the new offense together? They looked just fine the first game and then we haven't seen Kyrie since. And I consider LeBron to be just a ball dominant as Kyrie and Dion has looked fine playing off of LeBron. I'm convinced we have posters on here who just want to see Dion not do well so they can rush to say I told you so about him never being more than a 6th man after all the debate we have had over him the last few years.

Guy has been our 2nd best player thus far throughout the preseason behind Love. He has a poor shooting half and all of a sudden people jump down his throat again. It's hilarious how we can have all of these polarizing players on this team, LeBron, Kyrie, Love, Andy, Marion, even Tristan, yet Dion is the most captivating and commented on player still.

You people have to learn the difference between saying someone sucks and someone is best in a sixth man role. Playing on the bench does not necessarily mean you're worse than the starter in that position. Look at OKC James Harden and Jamal Crawford. Again I like Dion but you guys have this irrational obsession with the guy that whenever someone picks on his game, you all jump to his defense.

Might've missed it, but where's Love? Doesnt look to be on the bench even?

With Love Kyrie and LeBron on the same team you will usually see at least two on the court at the same time

We jump to his defense because no other player on this team is as scrutinized as Dion, and a lot of it is unfair. What you are doing right now in this thread is just proving that point further...so please continue.

Really impressed by Delly's play.

 

[StuDiscus]

Delly's floater is giving me a half-chub...

OKC had Durant, Westbrook, Serge, and Harden yet Harden still played that sixth man role.

 

[BimboColesHair]

And @All4One1ForAll there is no room for a Crawford/Harden role on this team. One of Kyrie, LeBron, Love, Dion will be on the court at all times, so there is no need to have a 2nd unit creator on this team. There wasn't one on Miami, there wasn't one on Boston, there won't be one on the Cavs. Just too much elite talent that will always be seeing the floor.

Tristan is going to fall into a perfect role on this team. Hustle big who can create 2nd chances and drop in a bucket here and there. Feasting on the glass right now. Looks quick and light on his feet too.

So Kyrie, TT, Lebron and everyone else is allowed to be scrutinized but the moment I comment on Dion, it's out of line? Look at my profile pic. Dion is one of my favorite guys on this team which is why I want to see him improve his off ball play. I just haven't seen that yet.

 

[Muffinalt]

Tristan looks PHYSICAL. He and Delly really turning up the intensity.
