Karasev should demand a trade. I'm really feeling for the guy. He'll be a Net in the not too distant future.

At least the Cavs are being consistent in how they are bringing him along. He got some NBA minutes and looked overmatched, so he practices with the team and has gotten D-League time. I'm not saying it's ideal. I'd rather see him play over some of the vets at this point, but at least he hasn't gotten mixed messages, hasn't gotten yanked back and forth, hasn't been asked to play different positions that he's completely unsuited for, and so on. Even though he hasn't shown it on the court, it's possible he has had a more typical rookie year -- all development.

Again, not saying I wouldn't like to see him on the court. His time will come, hopefully with the Cavs.

We may never win again.

At least not for 5 years.

Thoughts:

1) Dion played 10 minutes and didn't score. Didn't notice him and it feels like he will be gone.

2) Varejao is hurt

3) Deng is more hurt.

No fucking excuse to play a hobbled Deng for 42 minutes tonight. He won't make it through the season at this rate.

4. Zeller is MIA

5. It's a shame what Brown's lack of an offensive system and shitty rotations has done to all our young players. We see an occasional good game but overall the lack of progress made by TT, Dion, Tyler, Bennett, Karasev and even Kyrie has been shockingly bad this season.

It is considered common respect in the nba circle to get to know the ref's since you work with them on a nightly basis. Couple that with his whining at phantom fouls after every play and its pretty obvious why the refs give him absolutely no love. It is just one of many things that adds up to a bad apple.

I really think his heart is in the right place, I just think the circumstances he came from and his immaturity manifest it into something that as of right now is not positive.

There are over 70+ NBA referees whom are rotate daily. I don't know how many can remember 70+ people's names they see a few times a year. And, refs gives you calls base on reputation. Dion just doesn't have the rep yet. I think he would get more calls if you start exaggerating fouls more. He needs some acting classes.

I'll try to remain positive.

Brown - Only had 3 Ohhhhhhhh faces tonight, at least that's all they showed on my TV.........

KI - looked to play less than mediocre defense for 2 quarters and almost no D for the other 2. Did hustle for about 3 quarters and only had between 2-4 WTF? in a bad way dribbling episodes

Jack - trying to remain positive, so I plead the 5th

Deng - looked like he's got some lingering issues with his legs or lower back. Still played with heart and looks like one of the few "team" basketball players we put on the court

TT - finally got out of his scoring slump. Still lacks explosion under the rim, but he did seem to gain some confidence back, hopefully he keeps it going forward

AV - Great to see him back out there. His usual energy was apparent early but you can tell he's still got some pain and is a bit rusty as it tailed off

Zeller - He's still 7' tall, that's a plus, added plus is that it'll be at least 15 years before he starts shrinking

Bennett - looks like he finally found a little bit of confidence in his abilities, hope he stays with it and gains more. Glad to see he got over 20 minutes tonight and was only forced out as he fouled out. His hustle and confidence is great for a guy who looked worse than Pavs at the beginning of the season

Dion - finally got a foul call on a drive to the rim, without yelling "And 1"......

Miles - Hit a 3.......... he's really streaky?

Delly - got to play the last minute.......

Sims - he really needs to change the way he runs. He reminds me of Pekovic, only faster

That was positive, right?

 

[Ohio]

Yeah I can't watch full games anymore.

Maybe after we make another trade(s)

CJ defended himself and the team in this....
