Rich putting that law school education to good use.
Not even slightly.

Except Delly had the highest defensive rating on the team.
Cavs have added 4 players in the last 2 months. They have 2 starters out for quite awhile.
how bout give them more than 2 or 3 games to gel.
also the Cavs are 15-1 when leading by less than 5 in the 4th quarter.
I am not sure where the ESPN guy got his situational stat? We lost 3 straight. Didn't we lead against Spurs and Kings at home and blow it?
Welcome to the sport of basketball, you probably don't even know what you're seeing right now, but it is greatness. Try to enjoy it.
What the FUCK happened? Last I heard we were up by 23 early in the third, then I check out the end of the game and it's a one point game? What excuse do we have for not holding leads now that we have such a deep bench? Or for Lebron playing 40 minutes? How did we end up like this?
This kind of shit will not fly in the playoffs that's for sure.
Scored 135 and set an NBA record for 3's.....and no one is happy.
Crazy where the expectation level is during the regular season.
Only thing I even worry about is staying healthy. Defense will be fine.
It's all effort on that end and our regular season defensive effort has been awful for 2+ seasons.
They held teams under 100 consistently.
The 2014-2015 team played at a slower pace with fewer possessions. So holding teams under 100 more frequently = expected.
Just compare the game logs. If you wanna say the pace matters that much we can just look at the DRTG.
There is still a huge difference.
Cavs murdered teams after the trades in 2014-2015. Compare the game logs 2015 http://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/CLE/2015/gamelog-advanced/ and 2017 http://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/CLE/2017/gamelog-advanced/
and you can see that there is still a big difference in DRTG when you take away pace out of the equation.
You can't really compare the team that we have now to the team we had in 2014-2015.. to think that everyone expected Blatt to win with that team without Lebron in the beginning of the season is absurd.
Cavs should blow teams away, especially when they lead by more than 20+ in the 3rd quarter.. It also annoys me that Lue isn't more involved on the sidelines.
Is there somewhere online you can generate the post-trade numbers averaged out for comparison purposes? I can't find any. NBA.com's stat tracker isn't helping either. Too fickle.
Wrong. Defense was excellent after the trades...
