    I think he's grown up enough to want to pull one together to shoot for a championship.

    When mayo tries he's pretty good. He's about 10000x better than waiters. He's trash.

    Cavs playing amazing the first 6 minutes.
  • Midstate01
    Shouldn't have said anything. Dion and amundson come in and lead goes from 18 to 6

    This may have been previously mentioned, but is is just me or does it seem like the Cavs play once every two weeks? LOL

    Sure as hell seems this way. I've been home since Thursday and got to watch 1 stinkin' game. Pissed me off when I realized that.

    Maybe Blatt requested this since he only coached one game a week when he was over in Israel. :D

    Good god the Cavs 2nd team is abysmal.

    Waiters sucks ass. Need to move on from him.

    Was listening to some conversation about him and it was said that the Cavs 1st team is really starting to buy into Blatt's ball movement-type system. As soon as Waiters hits the floor that all stops because he starts chucking up shots.

    With that being said, the whole second unit blows. When I was listening to the game, driving home, the announcers said that the Cavs #2's were being outscored by the Bucks second unit 21-2. It was nice to see Mike Miller make an impact last night though.

    To be fair I think they said last night that the bucks bench out scores it's starters. Maybe I misheard that. They have a hell of a bench.

    Perhaps but they also got destroyed by Indiana's bench, 52-16.

    I was at the "chalk talk" before the game vs the Bucks, and someone asked Griffin a question about Waiters. Griffin said Dion has bought into the team concept, but he's still not quite sure how to play effectively without the ball. He's trying to improve in that area, though, and also wants to be the defensive stopper in the second unit. I'm not ready to bail on Dion yet, simply because of the talent level he has. If what Griffin says is true, Dion will be an impactful player for this team down the stretch. It's just going to take some time for him to learn to play a different style than he's ever had to, but if he does, look out. If he doesn't, get out!

    Cavs outboarded 47 to 33 tonight but Uncle Drew was phenomenal. Bench still stinks.

    Maybe the Breowns should trade JFFb to the Cabs!

    Been hearing this past 2 seasons. Fuck him, he's a bum. Always been a bum. Will always be a bum.
  • BR1986FB
    Cavs seem to be hitting their stride, a bit, here. Prefer to see more balanced scoring than one guy (Kyrie) shouldering the load but sometimes you take what you can get for the "W."

    Agreed. When a "me-first" player actually wants to play within the team concept, we'll know. Griffin won't have to tell us

    Would be nice to see them avenge the ass kicking they received from Toronto a few weeks ago.

    I wouldn't get that move. Memphis is a great defensive team and he cant play for them. What could he do with the cavs?
  • BR1986FB
    Get a damn rim protector....

    His problem is offense not defense. Our problem is defense not offense. Seems logical I guess, even though he doesn't really move the needle for me.
