Do the cavs have a legit backup pg in pargo? He looks to be solid, good driver, can knock some shots down. That's another needed piece. Just need a some above average starting forwards and we might not be so bad
It is possible they wanted an early 3 knowing we were killing them on the offensive glass. Who knew it'd be Gee to get the tip in.

Regarding Andy and Tristan and their dominance on the board, offensive especially. With their numbers tonight, you would have though they each played 42-35 minutes. Nope. Andy: 18 rebounds in 35 minutes. Tristan: 15 rebounds in 32 minutes......

Cavaliers coach Byron Scott wanted Waiters to attempt a higher-percentage shot. ''Yeah, I guess I've got to be a little more specific and say, 'Try to get to the basket,''' Scott said. Source: http://sports.yahoo.com/news/gee-lifts-cavaliers-past-hawks-032402160--nba.html
I think the minutes played in the rotation was a key to winning this game. After melting down late in the last few games, everyone played about 30 minutes, and the bench relief was pretty solid thanks to strong showings by Zeller, Gibson and Casspi. When Kyrie returns, and you plug in Pargo for Sloans minutes, and Kyrie for Pargo minutes. We should be able to beat the bad to middling teams like Atlanta. Still not ready to compete with the really good teams for 48 minutes.
