False. Kyrie announced that the only way his knee could be 100% was to sit out the rest of the season. Byron woke up the next day and read the quote, and told the press he would consider shutting him down if there was a medical reason. Get your facts straight, please.

Byron suggested shutting Kyrie down, not the other way around.

The players individually have improved. But they are NOT playing together as well as they should. The second unit moves the ball better than the first unit, which should NOT be the case by this point in the season. We improved our bench with a trade, but our young starters come out like a deer in the headlights every 3rd quarter. Zeller and Ky are not in NBA shape. Speights is 15 pounds overweight. Ellington can lose 10. Yet Byron wants to run? But they don't run. They walk it up for 3 quarters every game. The coach has been unable to deliver the tempo he promised. The players can't (won't) do it. Byron whines about sleepwalking all the time. The team does not respond with effort. Byron disses rookies. He is known to favor older players, and that hurts a young roster.

Should I go on?

Let's just take this passage here. You, in one instance, complain that Byron wants to run despite the fact he doesn't have a roster, or at least players in good enough shape, to do it.

Then, in the very next instance, you complain he doesn't run enough. So, basically, you've set up a lose-lose. IF the team did run a lot, you'd complain that are players aren't equipped to do that. If they didn't run, you'd complain Byron wasn't implementing his system. Neat trick.

As for the starting unit, there is a reason for that: Two of the starters aren't NBA quality starters. Period. They start because they are young and he's trying to give them room to grow. Which flies in the face of your suggesting that he hurts his young roster. I mean, if Byron actually just cared about winning, Tyler Zeller would get 10 minutes a game, max. Yet, he's giving him all sorts of time to figure shit out. But apparently, that's not quite enough for you.

He then followed it up with "but im not going to do that." I mean, dude, lets at least try to be accurate here.

Interview with Kyrie: The negative x-rays give Kyrie no solace. He says it doesn't feel right. He'll get more "pictures" tomorrow. I guess MRI. I keep thinking about Varejao.....

He was VERY dejected talking to Fred.

Cavs gave up 100 points again. toronto is a good offensive team, but this is the 5th straight game the cavs have given up 100+ points. The cavs are under so much pressure to score every night.
