What's up with the subliminal Cavs fire logo? Already?
My only disappointment lies in his inability to consistently work Love into the offense.I've been extremely disappointed with David blatt.
There's my rant.
I've had enough of these low-risk, washed up veteran players. I don't understand the notion of bringing in veterans who can't even help the team. For example, right now the Cavs have James Jones on the bench and he's getting minutes. Everyone knows he can't defend anyone. He isn't getting any better, so why keep him when you can have a guy like Glen Rice Jr instead. We need players who are hungry. Not guys who are content with their careers and will be out of the league in 3 years. Do the Spurs go out and sign washed-up scrubs? Nope.
Another thing that irks me is how the Cavs have had a need for rim protection all summer. They don't even try to get a player on the roster who can block shots. Like they keep Alex Kirk around, who is obviously a big, unathletic player, when you can take a RISK on a player like Hassan Whiteside who is nearly 7'0 with a 7'7" wingspan and is a very good athlete. Even Jeremy Tyler would be better. Instead, they sign Lou Amundson, who is the white Tristan Thompson, with 10 more years of age, and even less skills, on the vast decline.
They have been playing it way too safe. Yes, the players they signed are proven commodities and accept their roles. But why not take a chance on younger guys who a.) are hungry to make a name for themselves b.) will still do what they are asked, and c.) have room for improvement. You're allowed to take risks, and might just find a gem if you do, instead of a player who will be out of the league in two years.

I don't understand all the Love hate, especially after tonights game.
His jumper was hot garbage, so he tried to contribute in other ways and feasted on the offensive glass in order to get some easy buckets.
That's why I disagree. Imo, after tonights game you can't come to the conclusion that Love has no heart or showed no effort. He tried but he was off.
They are here to make Lebron happy. That is their job. Blatt playing them is out of their job duties as far as I'm concerned.Can the specialist vets actually do what they are paid to do?
