Noah was not our problem last game.



Have to say that I agree with posters saying that Delly is a better option than either JJ or Miller, and I wouldn't be opposed to starting him. At least delly hustles and plays more consistent defense, and if JJ and Miller aren't hitting their shots there's literally no reason to keep them in.

Only thing that I've been wondering is why he's hesitating shooting wide open threes and instead drives to the hoop to do his floater, which is clearly a weaker shot for him.

I'm not a Delly fan at all, but last night, I was actually relieved to see him in the game. I don't know why these other guys are getting paid all this money - to do absolutely nothing, I guess.

I think Delly defending Rose is going to be a key to the Cavs winning a game and getting back in the series. Rose struggles with physical, in your face type of defenders, and that's what Delly is. Putting Delly on Rose can also limit the switching the the Cavs do on the Rose/Gasol pick and pop game, hopefully resulting in less open jumpers for Gasol, and more ugly floaters from Rose.

Cassity - sorry, I don't believe Delly could stay with Rose for a hot second.

I think he did a good job on him last night in the second half in limited minutes. I think it was part of what allowed the Cavs to get enough stops to come back in the game. Rose doesn't like physical defenders - that is no secret.

Because he knows there's a sniper in the rafters that will take him out if he shoots more than twice a game. He has to choose carefully.

You can't be serious. Rose would abuse Delly off of the dribble. Delly is decent at off the ball defense, but his on the ball defense against guys like Rose and Butler is very sub-standard. Not that Miller or Jones could do any better, but still...I hate seeing the claims that Delly is some lock-down defender. Watch the tape.

Delly is capable of funneling his man into help defense from a big man.

There is currently over 24 million dollars worth of big men on the injured reserve who were supposed to fill that role.

Reading that just really depressed me. Especially, when we were torn up by a big making only 7 million a year last night.

Well if you watched the games you wouldn't have to rely on belief. Delly did fine. Delly's on ball defense was the very least of our worries last night.

 

[TitleTown]

Let me get this straight...the preceding 4 posts have praised Delly's ability to foul in the open court? That's like saying the fat chick has a nice personality.

Actually, they were saying a lot more than that.

And, you do have a nice personality.

Look, if we had gotten a proper playoff tested pg like Chris Duhon or Reymond Felton we would be up 1-0 right now and be laughing. Instead we're 0-1 down and on the edge of collapse.

Its time for heads to roll.

If i think of this line up, Kyrie, Lebron, Delly, Mozgov and TT, I get a warm fuzzy feelin.
