Game 80 | Cavs @ 76ers | Apr.14th | 3:30 PM ET

Why is Dion playing like did at the beginning of the year: get back to attacking the basket

3rd game in Philadelphia (counting preseason) where he's tried to do way too much on offense and too little on defense.

EDIT: beautiful move on the last basket of the 3rd.

Dion probably has tired legs. A player that plays tired tends to settle more for perimeter shots, than attack the basket.

Cavs are snoozing through this game. Bet they bring it like a regular season game vs. the Heat though. Having 4th spot locked up may be good enough.

 

[Stark]

Checked the box score. Saw Zeller 0-6 with 2 rebounds in 24 minutes.

Just pathetic. Everyone is playing just horrible except for Thompson.

 

[wuck]

Kevin Jones has hit a couple nice 15-footers tonight, including that bank shot. If he could hit that shot and bulk up a bit, he could stick around the league for some time. He has improved in a lot of other areas this year.

This is proof that athletes are by far and away the most overpaid profession in the world. They make millions of dollars, and some of them give basically no effort on a nightly basis. Hell, if we shared their mindset at our jobs, we'd all be fired.

Pathetic.

 

[Stark]

I want Kevin Jones back next season. Solid fifth big man in the rotation behind Varejao, Thompson, Zeller, and Speights.

He's a guy I'd like to see on the team next year regardless of Speights picking up his option and who we pick in the draft.

Zeller pisses me off more and more with each game. I love watching the Cavs but I cant wait for this season to end

 

[Futuredome]

Zeller could at least try some. Unlike Irving or Waiters, he doesn't have a spot certainty for him.

Yea this was my only thought this game. I hate seeing guys not try, but the guys who don't have a certain future? Gee and Zeller both fall in this category, and they were both not trying.

Alternatively, Thompson was again one of the very few (probably alone today) giving effort when he was in.
