So we won the game? Good, glad the teams win streak is intact. Seems destined not to make it to double digits though, due to another b2b.

Someone got banned? This must really have been one hell of a gamethread. Seems silly all the talk about the team early in the year...

Sadly, the team still isn't playing consistently great basketball, but maybe that's a silver lining.

Dion played well again, which is nice to hear. Maybe he's finally re-figured it out. If he has, this team is not going to lose too many games this year, and the starters will be getting a lot of rest in 4th quarters.

Why look for silver linings after a win?
 
Great finish. Lebron came up huge and our D really did tighten up late. Great progress.
 
One quibble in the 4th: Love has had a much smaller man switched to him twice in the 4th quarter and we couldn't get him the basket in post position both of those teams. We need to do a better job in the future of exploiting those kinds of mismatches.

Overall though this is going to be a great passing team by the end of the year: nearly everyone are willing passers with Love and Lebron being exceptional. Now throw back in Delly who is more of a traditional PG and that should continue to improve (that Big 3 by Lebron was all setup by a nice pass by Love who faked a 3 and drew the defense before the dish. Love when we can role reverse and have Lebron be the outlet once in awhile)

When you expect an all time great team, and you get a slightly above average one that is trying to figure things out, absolutely. At least I am.
 
Went to the game last night, some observations: The crowd was so amped up, it was like a playoff game. It was so loud I literally got a headache. Every time the Cavs interior D let the Raptors score inside the air was taken out of the building. Then when the Cavs would nail a 3 the place would go insane. The Raptors are for real, they can shoot and the bigs they have can dominate the paint.
The Cavs need to get their shit together when it comes to interior D, we all know that. But last night really showed how bad we can be through the first 3 quarters. I told my brother at halftime that Lebron had to take over the game or we were screwed. Luckily Lebron took over and the others followed suite.
We need an enforcer in the middle, where we get one I have no idea.
I had not been to a Cavs game in awhile, and let me tell ya..........The people at the Q put on a heck of a show. We sat in the nose bleed section, second row from the top, and the view was still great. Can't beat the price at $20/seat. The price of the beer and food is eye popping, but that's normal now days. If you've not been to a game yet, go!!!
