Hill's defense has been good, but I am slightly worried now. I thought initially he was going to be the last one to get going, but at least his defense would be great.
The biggest gripe in Sac was that he wasn't aggressive enough. We are going to see that too I think. Have to get Clarkson going if that is the case in games. Having Clarkson only play 16 min when we need scoring is nuts
He hadn't taken a shot in like 30 minutes. Way too low of a usage for a guy with his scoring talent.I want more shots for Hood... (that one at the end was hideous) but I’m ready to turn him into a JR-2.0
The more active this team is defensively the better they react and move the ball offensively..
I want a lot of shots for some of these guys and active hands to get out in transition and just play some freelance basketball...
Who should have the ball if Hill and Hood are both on the floor? No LBJ.
AC- you're one of the better Cavs fans at this site.It’s the new guys’ third game with the Cavs. Relax.
The Cavs were ice cold from the perimeter, while the Wizards couldn’t miss. The new guys kept messing up the pick and roll coverages which won’t happen as the Cavs continue to get experience playing together. And it will take months before the Cavs offense really reaches its potential.

Hill, Hood, and Clarkson?
There’s a winning combination somewhere. I’m still not sure yet who plays best with LeBron.
This is the most impressive thing about the Memphis win, for me:
The pace of the game was around 107 possessions. That's extremely high. Up-and-down running. To put it into perspective, the Lakers lead the league in pace at 100.7 possessions per game.
And we're on a back-to-back.
Not only did we survive it, we thrived in it.
This is what depth and athletes will do for you.
Last year, or before the trade deadline, we would not only lose this game but be embarrassed while doing so. We would have gotten run out of the gym.
It's a whole new world now.
Also, we only have 2 more back-to-backs for the rest of the year.
I doubt LeBron wins MVP, but I think he's going to put up some monster numbers for the rest of the regular season.
