That was.... a win.
Thankful for it, and considering they have a back-to-back with the Dinosaurs tomorrow I won't dwell on it too much.
The Cavs still seem to lack legit offensive sets to go to when things get tough; heroism on someone's part feels like it is required to win.
At least we got to see more Diakite, who I believe should see more minutes ala Lamar Stevens in the "PF" rotation.
They did the right thing and gave Lopez the boot at the first opportunity of subbing.
The team's defense and scoring ability without Allen takes a dive.
This Pistons team had hardly anyone of their ideal lineup. No Cade, no Ivey, no Stewart, still no Bogdanovich, etc. Jalen Duren was there, though.
Ideally I would like to someone that can play 4/5 (in small ball setups) who is a little more bulky yet mobile to come in when Allen is absent or sits. Don't know who that is in the NBA, much less if that person is available.
