Open Discussion (Cavs + related issues)

[JMoneyYourHoney]

If the Cavs win, you will pay me out $15 or $30 to a charity of my choice. My decision on which option.

I was with you until this part.

 

[MirORich]

I was with you until this part.

So you're willing to take or lose $15 to or from me personally but as another option, you're not willing to just double down and have one of us give $30 to a charity?

I'd be happy to rap with you by DM to select one we both agree on and feel good about supporting in the event of either outcome. I'm 100% positive we could find common ground on a worthwhile charity for $30

No, I'm just not willing to pay you if you win. I am however open to being paid if I come out ahead.

It's a crazy turn from the way that Lue has coached the Cavs since he's taken over. At all points the Cavs emphasized spacing and played James a lot at the four. When things got hairy against a good team, Lue's solution has sometimes been to go with more shooting by inserting someone like Korver. Last year the Cavs were historically efficient on offense playing the threes and layups style. They freaking set three point records in a game in back to back postseason runs. And now they've become a mid-range shooting team? For the Cavs sake I hope they regain that the lack of threes is a temporary departure from what has been a successful way to play basketball.

JR or Korver should be on the court at all times. Frye should get some burn too, if he can still stroke it like last year.

Once Crowder gets trigger happy in the Cavs offense, he'll let if fly more often.

It's the result of Wade, Rose, and Green getting significant minutes.

Frye is out of the rotation (which is a mistake).

Is Cedi and Zizic going to be in Canton this year for the most part?

I really hope not. We could seriously use both. Lue will favor vets over them until an injury forces his hand, but you can make an argument they should be getting a few minutes already.

Ehhhhh

If Cedi had a consistent jumper then yea. Zizic is probably worth a few mins though.

I expect Wade and Rose to play 60+ games each this regular season. So there should be time available down the road.

More likely JR..but how long will it take Lue to reinsert him?

Once wade gets hurt.

Once wade gets hurt.

It's weird [or predictably pandering to his boys?]. Lue refused to let anyone that can't shoot threes onto the court last season. This season he starts Derrick Rose and Dwyane Wade.

I get cold sweats thinking of a potential IT/Rose/Wade linup.

 

[Cavatt]

$15 says we still lose that game.

If you are going to "fake bet" make it 100 or 1000 dollars. Making it 15 when you started it makes you look like the cheapest person in the world when you back out. Say 1M and people know you are joking

I’m watching warriors rockets from opening night right now. Makes me hate griff even more for trading for Korver instead of PJ tucker. KD can’t move him. Meanwhile Korver can’t hit a shot vs GS and his defense is even worse.

Crowder is a better and younger version of Tucker.
