LMAO @ the post title change.
Delly should be a Cav for life. I'm really mad he was a casualty of the salary cap before... the guy is just everything you want out of your backup guard. It's as if you have Calderon, but he actually plays defense.
Knowing Delly like I do, I dont think the hometown hero stuff sits well with him. He didnt even want a local court named after him.
But people change and I could be wrong
Sometimes an assist is not an assist.
Lebron was the master of the "flaming bag" assist. He liked to whip the ball to a shooter out of rhythm with no time on the clock. The shooter had to shoot, regardless if he was open or not. He could make good shooters look like shit.
Delly's grownup passing is something I have not seen on the Cavs since the one legged Baron Davis was on the squad back in 2011. Baron would sneak into a crease in the defense on the wing, pivot into the lane, and as the defense collapsed, he'd staple gun a bounce pass to a cutter's hands in rhythm, 7 feet from the hoop, 80% chance at 2 with a great chance for an "and one". Made weak shooter look awesome.
Love me some inside passing. Good foot work puts it over the top. It seems like a lost art in this age of pass it around the outside and launch a 3.
The short-lived Baron Davis era in Cleveland reminded me a lot of Dellavedova. That Heat game was the GOAT
Delly is really exposing all the flaws in Sexton’s game.
Watching TJ McConnell in regulation yesterday for the 76ers I was like, "who does this guy think he is, Matthew Dellavedova?"
I am guessing not much different....am guessing he has never had blistering speed and ankle breaker moves...he would have worked on maximising the skill set he hasWonder what delly’s Game looked like at 19?
