I have a feeling Dion is pissed not getting any PT.

Kevin Love looked pretty bad tonight. We need a shot blocker.

I'll take a bad night if it results in him putting up 16/16.

we need Dieng right? :{

Mozgov or Sanders. But I doubt we have the assets to make that move.

Great win.

I never want to watch Delly get 30 again. Dion must have said something questionable

Dion had a drive and was fouled hard in my opion for a no call. if he was a bit sulky. I could see blatt pulling him out.

outside of getting caught looking a couple plays before he was playing pretty solidly defensively.

Pulling Dion almost cost the Cavs the game as Chicago went on a run on guard play but if Blatt was putting his foot down on Dion getting caught up on fouls then it was a good move

Who knows what happens with more DRose, but I liked what I saw.

Our offense is nowhere near fluid or every good right now, but it doesn't matter as much when you can crash the offensive boards the way we did. Once this offense starts gelling, we can see some big runs and big quarters.

It was weird to see Chicago move the ball around and chuck threes while we couldn't get very many open shots.

I don't think Blatt trusts Miller's defense at all and knows we don't have a good enough defense around Miller or a rim protector to ameliorate his deficient defense. Still, at some point you would think we would start seeing open threes off of ball movement or drive and dish. A guy like Ray Allen might help although not sure if Blatt will.trust his atrocious defense.

think we need more of Marion out there. Irving, James, Marion, Love, Andy/Thompson could be something we see more.

Delly with the best +/- which seems.to happen frequently.

As I know Blatt since I'm from Israel, he's a disciplinary coach, Dion must have affected it by doing something stupid.
Also he likes player like Delladova that are "reliable" and put an effort, I hope that things go well and we get the offense going since I did not like it very much

Can't wait until TT struggles.................do you still want to pay him?

Lucky Rose left, might have been a different night. Team really needs to gel. But it was expected.

Nothing like a Cavs fan who "can't wait" for a Cavs player to struggle, just so he can complain about some guy who is not him giving that Cavs player too much money. GTFO man.

I disagree. I think he played a solid game. His Defense in the post was solid for the most part. He was willing to stand in and take charges even if they weren't called his way everytime and he is a rebounding machine which holds the opposition to so many one shot possessions that it makes a big difference throughout the course of a game. Him spreading the floor on Offense also opens up a lot of those Offensive rebounds for Tristan and Andy.

Got the win, like someone said earlier, the pressure is off for awhile now. Can't wait for the next one.

I completely understand the rotations right now. Mike Miller and the other guys on the bench will get plenty of time when we are playing less competitive and close games. 1st 2 games were close and since he wanted to win, he kept the best players more time on the court.

what do you guys think of Lebron, TT and Varejao hugging and congratulating Blatt on his first win does it mean they like him ?

Portland's gonna be a real test to our perimeter defense. Should be fun to see.

I think Love got a great matchup against Aldridge..
in terms of defending and attacking..
I'm happy that we go into a difficulat game 1-1 and not 0-2 it means ALOT

I think what this game shows is how deep and talented this team is. By no means did we play great but won a huge game. I think part of the reason we are seeing more mins from out starters is to help them jell and learn to play together. Players still are still thinking out there and not just playing.
