Game 64 | Cavs (37-26) @ Nuggets (35-29)| March 7, 2017 | 10:40 pm EST

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
I believe in Hood. He's just gonna need more time. Hard role to get used to, being a pure scorer when you're not the PG and are constantly sharing the floor with LBJ. Shots don't come regularly

All these guys are going to integrate at different speeds and will eventually have their own moments and time to shine. Still very early in the progression of this group.
 
One of James' best performances get the great win for the Cavs.
 
I'm honestly not sure it was the right decision. Hood seems terrified to shoot, and he keeps dribbling into these tough, contested mid-range jumpers. It makes no sense, and it's killing the offense.

He needs to let that shit fly.
what game was it where he went off in the 4th quarter? that was him just lettin it fly and playing with no limits. we know what he can do. he just has to PLAY.
 
Imagine Jokic on this team with LBJ, Love, and Nance.

We'd be unstoppable. Dude has a future laced for superstardom.
Could have drafted him in 2014, but who knew he would be this good?

Thats the kind of luck we needed in the draft that would have closed the gap on the Warriors.

Jokic is an incredible talent.
 
Hood getting some crap tonight. 6-13 15 pts. Decent def. cmon man

I liked that he didn't let a missed shot get to him for most of the night till maybe the last possession there. Our other guys seems to lose their mojo if they miss one of these wide open shots they get with Lebron on the floor but he manufactured some buckets after these misses which was good to see. We need a guy who can shoot and also beat a good closeout by a hard dribble into the mid range area
 
Needed to get this to start the road drip. I like what we have going with this group and the addition of Love. It's basically as simple as not playing Tristan.

Zizic is looking like he can play 10-15 a night if needed and not hurt you. He looked good in the pick and roll and his size is welcome on the glass and defensively. He got suckered into some fouls tonight, but all in all I thought he competed hard. Not much you can do when Djokic is throwing everything in the hoop. He plays that D on an average big and we are fine.
 
It is insane how good LeBron is.

I can't get over how good Larry is at defense as well.

We just need to tighten up communication and chemistry on offense and we will be fine. Some of it is just missing open shots, but we also look disjointed a lot.

We also, and I am constantly harping on this I know, severely miss Love's spacing/pulling a big out of the paint. Not to mention the offensive rebounding and his ability to get to the FT line.

And his passing. And having the second best player on the floor and another go-to offensive threat and shooter.

When he comes back, our offense should look incredible. I can already imagine the passing between him and Nance and the spacing they will allow each other. Pick and roll with LBJ, either give up the lob to Nance, the dunk to LBJ, or the open three to Kev. No other options.

Even the outlet passes to Hood and Clarkson. Kev will also probably have a good pick and roll/pop game with Hill. I can't wait.
