Preseason Game #4 | Cavs vs. Spurs, 7:00 PM (ET)

[RonG]

Duncan picked up his dbl dbl quick. Mo's shot is really off. I know they want to rest LBJ but I hope the chemistry is there, I really think we need a good start to the season.

lol, yeah he has 7 I think, and two fouls,lol.

 

[KingSimba]

Andy seems to be very active alls I hear is "Rebound Varejao.. Varejao fights for rebound.. Varejao tips it up and in.. Varejao spins and picks up the offensive foul :chuckles:"

:chuckles:

 

[KingSimba]

wow mo was 3/14

 

[Da_James_Gang]

From the espn game cast, seems like they are playing pretty bad........

 

[Numbers Guy]

Daniels 2-9
Delontes 2-11
Mos 3-14

And overall were shooting a stellar percentage of 35% :gap:

 

[SanduskyCav]

does anyone have a way to explain for how terribly our team is shooting?

FGM-A 3PM-A FTM-A
27-76 6-17 5-12
35.5% 35.3% 41.7%

 

[KingSimba]

no not really. im getting kinda worried about us right now. we will be 0-4 in the preseason and we are looking terrible

 

[Numbers Guy]

Chill out, theres no reason to worry. Its freaking preseason.. no one actually tries to win these things its just who evers lap it falls into.

A lot of our failure has to do with LeBron resting so much, but a lot is just bad shooting and shoddy defense.

We need at least one real Cavs game where we can see a full run-through of LeBron and Mo going FTW to convince me we are ready. I'd hate to have a slow start, especially when you account for the fact that I've been waiting forever for the Cavs to give me a pick-me-up.

So are you saying were missing shots on purpose? Or not trying when we shoot? I could care less if we win or not, but the team just sounds like they are playing terrible and the stats show it.

Just bad shot selection, that and a lot of these guys are scrubs that if they do make the team won't see to much action.

If they were doing this while LeBron was on the floor I'd be worried. They shot poorly, but expecting the team to play well in preseason without LeBron is a stretch, it's like taking the transmission out of your car and wondering why it's not moving. They will fare better without him during the regular season when they all get to know one anothers game.

I don't see Mo, Boobie, and Delonte as scrubs and they are shooting the worst on our team with a combined 7/27 = 25%...these guys are supposed to be the ones who spread the floor for LeBron. The scrubs are actually increasing our FG%. I think Mo can slide because this is his first real action but Mo and Boobie shooting 5/21 doesn't impress me.
