  Love continues to impress me.
  
  He's an all star this year. He may be the best PF in the league.

  Outside of your last line, this.

  Love is easily an all star this year. It would be a complete joke if not.

  Anyone have any guesses about any moves they'll be making to add some depth? Dunleavy is giving us nothing, Liggins has done well defensively, but not offering anything on offense. Shump has done better so far, but I have a feeling they'll be adding something relatively soon.

  Depth? What about the all-stars Felder and McRae? LOL
  
  Holy shit the knob slobbing over the D-league contingent was unbearable in the offseason. Looks like, once again, sleeper is right.

  Why? A big to guard the rim for 8-12 minutes a night during the regular season and might get 4-6 minutes in the post season?

  Yes sleeper was right. I was wrong.

  I'm not sure what you're asking/saying? This team is super thin. You shouldn't be going only 7 deep in regular season.

  Mo Williams is junk. Won't play.
  
  McRae, trash. Felder trash. Jones, trash.
  
  Anderson, done. JR Smith, won't return for a few months. Shumpert is worthless.
  
  I agree the team is having depth issues. I'd trade Shumpert for bag of sand and see if we can get a serviceable big and a serviceable guard to replace him.

  They played 10 guys for 10 minutes or more against the junk Pistons (not playing LBJ). They will go 8 deep against good teams. Who would they get that would actually play meaningful minutes in the playoffs? I don't see what they can do except get a minimal playing post.

  That's kind of my point. Look what happened when Lebron took the night off and they tried to play 10 guys, it was really bad basketball. Dunleavy/Felder aren't giving you much of anything. You need guys who can eat up regular season minutes to give starters rest. They probably won't play a huge role during the playoffs as the Cavs will probably go with Shump/RJ/Frye off the bench. But they need some added depth. They have Andy's 9mil trade exception to use still, and they could package Dunleavy with him.

  Lebron and Love with 45 combined at half.
• Benny The Jet

  

  Future HOF Mcrae with 18 as well.

  Felder with a good game too.

  Cavs looking like they're coming off a New Year's Eve 2 day bender. Ugly shots

  McCrae starts tonight. Felder with another double digit scoring output. 2-0 with them getting major minutes.

  So glad the D-league contingent can help us beat powerhouses like NO.
  
  They are worth the thousands we are paying them.

  TRASH. Sleeper knows more than Lebron.
  
  Felder also with his 4th consecutive double digit game while shooting 64%, but we should all take sleepers word and completely give up on a rookie that hasn't played half a season in his career. TRASH.
• Commander of Awesome

  

  Savage.
  Rekt.
• Heretic

  

  Tuning in for the next night when the stars play their usual minutes and Sleeper does his "SLEEPER WUZ RITE!!!!" act because McRae/Felder don't play much. While ignoring that no one said anything remotely along the line of how they could be stars and were just thinking they could be potential bench help (which giving them starts and/or expanded roles in games like that is designed to determine if that can/will be the case).
• Laley23

  

  My exact thoughts were they were great backups to Kyrie, and will give minutes needed for the regular season, but not play in postseason or many big games. Sleeer took that as HoF material...
• sleeper

  

  Some of you guys have absolute dog shit memories or you're just obtuse on purpose because you once again bet against me and once again you were proven wrong.
  
  Felder is what he always will be; trash at the end of the bench. McRae is the same way. I'm sure if you put me out there I could score 4-5 points a night given the minutes. They are nothing special and they only have a spot in the league because the Cavs don't have the salary cap to bring someone better in. The Cavs need garbage time players and garbage time players are garbage.
