New York Notes
* The wacky weird experiment of putting two selfish, non-passing, defensively soft low post players begins. So far, either Zach Randolph or Eddy Curry can have a good game, but never at the same time.
* Stephon Marbury has said he will look for his shot more this year (rather than trying to facilitate). There's not going to be enough balls on the court for these guys.
* Jamal Crawford is a noted Cavalier-killer. Hopefully he'll get lost in the offensive shuffle.
Cleveland Key Points
* We have a terrific morale boost, having resigned Sasha a few days ago. Hopefully we'll come to play, because Wednesday we weren't even in the game. Use the Pavalier energy!
* Our defensive rotations looked *terrible* Wednesday, hopefully everyone is on board with Mike Brown, and we see a marked improvement.
* Z has looked terrific so far. He certainly didn't hurt my fantasy team with the 18 rebounds the other night.
Mike Brown Gameplan Keys
- Now that Pavs is back, hopefully we only have to endure the Marshall/Jones tandem off the bench 1 or 2 more times.
- Defensive rotations. Defensive rotations. Defensive rotations.
