Actually ... this whole Cavs team defensively is something like I’ve never seen. Is it because of the rule change? Is it effort? Cavs just getting dogged out.

all I know is that a lot of pg's are horrible on the defensive end (even those that are Allstars trae, curry etc).

Cavs playing so much better in this third quarter.

Sexton is really moving the ball. Love this change. Sometimes it is the hockey assist tonight. He is going to be responsible for more than his direct assists. Neither he no Garland can stop anybody though. THey both need a lot of work there

eventually, porters gotta start at the 2

They've cut down the turnovers and everyone is contributing on the offensive end.

 

[MirORich]

Well all we have to do is shoot 60% from the field and 50% from 3 and we're set!

Seriously, I am happy to see the shots falling and the ball (mostly) moving.

The defense could be years(and several players) away

KPJ looks bigger than the 6'4 218 he's listed at.

 

[letgocavs]

At this point I'm keeping Garland on Smith Jr until he toughens up

 

[Comeback kid]

How hard will they fall in the 4th when they run out of gas?

I think they need a #3 guard to be a lock down defender and Beilein to be able to be better about in game adjustments.

If they want Exum to be a long term piece they should be working on his defense first then finding go to shots for him so he can give at least a little bit of scoring.

Did McKinnie contract expire?

Did McKinnie contract expire?

Yes but my guess is they will bring him back right after the trade deadline on thursday.

Fts, defense and turnovers.
