I don't care who they play... if they come with that level of intensity that they had tonight then they'll be in every single game.

They said Daugherty would be on for "selected" games. Yeah, those guys had a great time. Too bad Fred couldn't have seen this.Without a doubt, one of the single most enjoyable games of Cavalier basketball in recent memory that I can remember.
I mean, we have systems. On both ends of the floor. We have offensive fluidity and plays. We have commitment, effort and scheming on defense. We have players that are actually fun. Garland is going to be shooting 3s for days and he distributes the basketball better than any rookie PG we've had in years.
The court and the jerseys looked bananas. Daugherty and AC's commentary was energetic, memorable and super exciting and - during a time of great sorrow with the loss of Fred - was a refreshing injection of well-needed fun and laughter. Does anyone know what the setup is moving forward? Was that just a one-time thing? Or can we expect more of Brad and AC?
Just a ton of pleasure from watching that game. If the vets continue to lead and the young guys continue to grow and show development, this'll be a thoroughly enjoyable season, irrespective of our final record.
Not impressed with how the Cavs almost choked the game away at the end, allowing quick baskets by the Pacers while turning the ball over. Sexton tried to drive early in the shot clock and got blocked at the rim by Turner when we needed to milk some clock. Like Brad and Austin were saying, they're young and don't know how to close out a game. The Cavs also committed two turnovers on inbound passes.
Fortunately, Garland nailed a 3 and TT, stuck at the top of the key with the clock expiring, drove the lane and got a floater to drop. Those two shots were huge because they forced the Pacers to force up shots quickly and they couldn't run a play.
I never thought I'd see Thompson score 25 points, hit a 3-pointer, and go 2-for-2 from the line.
That's probably why the cavs won...Cedi barley touched the ball. Seriously. In 28 minutes he had it once or twice.

28 minutes, 1 point, 1 rebound. He was the invisible man. But he didn't hurt the team as he was a +9. He pulled his weight on the defensive end.Cedi barley touched the ball. Seriously. In 28 minutes he had it once or twice.

I worry about him defensively, but likely too early to pass judgement.I'm still in disbelief about last night's game. That was just awesome.
I really love Garland's game. He is going to be a stud. Cannot wait until he's unleashed.
