Game 2 | Cavs (0-1) @ Bulls (1-0) | October 31, 2014 | 8pm EST

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Tristan is a beast. Now everyone knows this

Miller needs more shots.

I really liked what I saw from Marion. I know he didn't stuff the stat sheet, but I liked all the little things he did. E.g., Not being able to grab the rebound, but was smart enough to tap it to Love
 
hold on a second...you guys don't see why Dion got pulled? Watch the whole game and pay attention to him when he doesn't have the ball and you'll see why he got pulled. To many times I watched him stand in one spot the whole 24 seconds. He needs to learn how to move without the ball. Delly took his spot because he knows how to move without the ball, but he also needs to shoot those open 3's instead of passing the ball so much. Oh and Dion also got lost on a few times on defense too so i'm sure that also didn't help.
 
So now that Chicago has a Derrick Rose injury scare - Is it rude to wish them Happy Halloween ?

you realize he was a shooting guard and his standing around involved a defensive man who wasnt only standing with him but virtually draped on him.

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.

and he was a huge reason as to why Noah fouled out .. he needs to shoot a little better but he will.. he didn't have a great game but was definitely a big reason why we won
 
So eventhough it's the start of the season and Love is yet to play his A game, not even close.
Do you like the trade? :O
I feel like Wiggins first year is gonna be mediocore at best :/

he's a shooting gaurd who doesn't move off ball. You can't stand around doing nothing. It also ruined the offense because he let his man "drape" all over him. The bigs were screening for the guards like Kyrie and Delly when they running around off ball. Dion didn't take advantage of that.
 
What's kind of incredible is we are in no way playing that well on offense and we just did pretty much whatever we wanted against maybe the best defensive team in the league.

When the offense irons out, we are going to just decimate teams.

As others have said, our rotations have been just awful. LeBron has played 85 minutes in two games. This was obviously OT but we HAVE to get that down. We have way too many capable vets for LBJ to log minutes like that.

that trade was a no-brainer... Love hasn't played his A-game and is avg 17.5 ppg and 15 rpg .. let that sink in for all the fans around the NBA that say Bosh is better.. Bosh turned into a fuckin 6'11 guy that never entered the paint on offense and avg 7 reb a game

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

I thought he was one of the major difference makers for us. His defense was extremely good including a few key rotations. He was gobbling up every board and was constantly in the right position on the court.

He missed some shots but his floor game was superb.

Favorite play of the game: Delly & Love taking the double charge from Brooks.

Fantastic.

I was wondering about that. By rule, is it possible to take a CHARGE will jumping in the air?

I've officiated and played many basketball games, I've never seen a charge called on that play.

Not an offensive foul because of an elbow or something...I mean a straight up charge.

if the guy is playing off then the guard plays into the screen due to the separation otherwise your bringing in another defender to pick . theres play where Dion and Delly both stay out on the perimeter. Theres rotations the guard looks for that dictate whether he moves in or not. Dion took 0 3 point shots. the Bulls werent gonna leave him open.
