Game 36: Cavs vs. Jazz | Mon, Mar 5th | 7:00 PM ET

Just some random thoughts..

I am glad Gee took Casspi's starting spot. I hate seeing Hollins play, but he actually had a decent game against the Wizards. TT needs to play better. Gibson is looking like Damon Jones. Sessions and Jamison are increasing their trade value. Kyrie always shows up in the 4th and he never quits.

And, we should lose some more so we can try to get a top 5 pick.

Jefferson was going to have field day against Hollins anyway which kind of for shadowed their loss to the Jazz. The Cavs sleep walked through the 1st half and Irving seemed to be playing under the weather too.
The news link below speaks of Jamison being irritated by the lack of effort since the All-Star break and I didn't notice him going all out on defense either.

Jazz beat Cavs 109-100

The effort isn’t there, the energy is missing and that desire to compete for an entire game has vanished. It has appeared in spurts over the past week, but Scott thought his team actually competed and played hard for the final six minutes of Monday’s 109-100 loss to the Utah Jazz — a team that entered with just three road victories this season.

The Cavs lose when they play less than good defense since they are offensively challenged as the following news link indicates:

Cleveland Cavaliers, besides Anderson Varejao and Kyrie Irving, are shooting a combined 40.6 percent from the field this season
