I put this loss on Scott. He allowed the cavaliers to get away with the bad defense on the guards, and let Livingston run the offense when waiters should have taken a much bigger chunk of the offense today. Waiters ended up with 17 and 6, but far too often livingston took the ball out of his hands. No reason waiters should have only played 26 minutes. chris Paul, and Chauncey were clearly outmatched by waiters' athleticism, and quickness. Gee didn't have the speed to guard paul, gee did nothing all game. this was a perfect game for the cavaliers to go small with gibson, and defend the pick and roll. Gibson gets over screens the best on the team, and has much more tenacity defensively. chris Paul doesn't get 15 assists or be splitting double teams with a proper match up on him. Have to defend the point of attack against the clippers, and the cavs failed to do that.

Dude, Gee guarded Paul the first game and did great. It was a no-brainer to put him on Paul again. He failed, but that happens. I'm certainly not going to hammer him for doing what worked the first time as opposed to playing a guy who hasn't played in a month instead.

As for Waiters, he played 26 minutes because he was in foul trouble. He played the entire 3rd quarter, and then when he got back in the fourth, they hit two threes, the game was over, and he got pulled. Had he played the whole first (as opposed to getting into foul trouble) and had the game remained close in the fourth so he could have stayed in, he'd have been well over 30.

In a loss? Who gives a shit about how well people played in a loss?

Oh quiet. You know damn well the growth of the youngsters is more important than a meaningless win in the middle of a rebuilding year.

I like how ESPN totally ignored us when we beat the bulls without Kyrie but decide to show us when we get beat by the clippers.
