I'm not concerned at all about this team yet; but that'll change if we can't beat the damn Magic.
 
This a total trap game...
































for the Magic.
 
Magic have 3 starters who shoot better than 40% from 3, this will be fun...
 
Magic 90
Cavs 80

Vucevic goes for 20/20
 
I wonder what the rotations will be this game.
 
Players to watch - Fournier and Vucevic.
 
I wonder what the rotations will be this game.
I'd predict the starting lineup to change. If not for this game, soon.

Tristan and Harris or Miller start. Andy's had a scoring touch and has been as close to a glue guy as we've had, and the bench desperately need that. Plus it removes the crutch of the Andy pick n roll with Bron & Kyrie that every defender has sniffed out. Will force Love more into the strong side P&R.
 
I'm interested to see what the lineup change is going to be if he follows through with it.

The 2 and 5 spots are the only pieces that can move, Joe Harris or Mike miller starting at the 2 is a possibility. I have a feeling Blatt is going to start TT so that Andy can be a stabilizing force off the bench and to force Love and Lebron to work the pick and roll together.

Short term I think that move would yield some results but TT can't be a starter for the whole year. We are just painfully small with love at the 4 and TT at the 5, and we lose Andy's mobility in that lineup.

Love in the PnR with Lebron puts Kyrie and Harris/Miller on that weakside for 3 and those corners.
 
It's sad that we're scared of losing this game with the talent we have on the floor. I get Toronto, Washington and San Antonio, but at no point did I think we'd be worried about losing to the magic. Even without chemistry. Hell, I wasn't this worried about facing Orlando last season.
