Defense was marginally better, I guess? Lost the rebounding battle, but that's really to be expected now. You can't win the battle of the boards with James Jones spending large portions of the game at power forward. We did however, hold them under 45% shooting, the best number since the Wolves game. However, we countered that by giving up 44% 3 point shooting. So still the eFG% we allowed was way too high.

I know when I blocked off this three hours slot in my day, I fully expected to see Haywood, Jones, Price, Delly, and Sweet Lou take it to the Bucks.
What teams look good when four of their starters are out?
This was a shitty game, no doubt, but a "fuck this team" game? An "it's not going to work" game"? A "Coach gotta go game"?
Just not seeing it that way with Andy, LeBron, Love, and Marion out.

WTF? 34% from the floor and 26% from the 3, I know you played without a shit-ton of guys but man up. You are professional NBA players, you should know how to get the damn ball in the hoop, your checks depend on it.
Horrible. Hopefully 2015 starts anew for this squad. Dare I say they might have lost to this team if Love played?
Shit.

I didn't know there was a game today. Sounds like the Cavs didn't know either.

This game could have been different if we would just hit some open threes and open shots. There were a lot of them tonight. It's very tough for us to score when we just have two ball handling shot creators/drivers with only one out there for long stretches of time, yet we still got some pretty good looks. Also... that third quarter... That third quarter. .gif "Conf (2) :conf (2):")
Positives? Joe Harris guarded Giannis pretty decently considering his size. There was a great stretch of defense in the 2nd quarter, we went on something like a 14-0 run (then quickly surrendered three buckets or so before the half). Those are the only ones that come to mind at the moment.
These open shots are gonna start to drop through the net again (Riiiiiight?), but yeah, we have some work to do! It wouldn't be a Cavs season without some drama
. Onto 2015. We still have 61 percent of the season to go.
