Cavs @ Miami Heat (Brazil) - Saturday, Oct. 11, 5:00pm (STO and ESPN News)

I didn't see it like that at all. No one on the team was moving on one possession and on the other possession he got the ball back at the top of the key with 4 seconds left on the clock. Also with the lineup he was on the floor with (Price *I think*, Marion, TT, and Miller) the paint was crowded and there wasn't much room to work.

good point, the line-up definitely called for him to handle the ball and set up the offense, it still felt to me like he kinda lost track of that when he had bosh on him on the baseline though, and to be fair, that is a good match up for him off the dribble. It was great to see him actually set up a play on the final possession as it shows that he's thinking out there and adjusting his playing style.

One of the great points of difference between this era-LeBron team and the first one, is the fact that I no longer have to panic when LeBron isn't performing at his optimum level. I have so much more confidence in the coaching staff and the other 14 guys to get the job done.

And that's one of the most positive things that this team offers this year for me.

Dion had some pretty bad offensive possessions at the end. it seems like he loses sight of his teammates when he has a favorable match-up, and gets caught up in trying to create for himself. in his defense he cooled down with the final possession, taking his time and finding an open miller for a great look. He's still growing up, and he'll be fine in the future.

It's why Dion isn't a PG. The teammates were just standing around, the screener was covered up, so Dion took a shot. His instinct isn't to pull it out and run another set. When Dion has the ball and guys are moving he finds them.

It looks like they're all playing in slow motion to me

[Simmy]

Oh Andy makes me so happy. The spirit of Cleveland is turning it on in Brazil!

Freaking ESPN commentators not knowing that Andy has slowly been developing a post game over the last few years.

Since the ESPN broadcast is like 10 seconds behind I been switching over every time something impressive happens just to hear what they say.

Love this double handoff action

Im most impressed with Kevin Loves BBall IQ.

Im watching him read the defense and find spots and also make perfect passes and position himself when the ball goes up.

Its a beautiful thing watching him play the newage post player position with a throwback approach. Literally looks like a mix of Bill Laimbeer and Brad Daugherty out there. Daugherty being one of the best passing bigs I ever saw and Laimbeer being a guy who played the game and anchored those Pistons with his brain more than he got credit for.
