Would anyone be concerned if the Cavs won this game? I think I would be.

Personally, I am surprised we are 4-3.

no. cavs beat boston in the first game of the year last year. sometimes bad teams beat good teams.

as far as the record goes...this is the first real good team the cavs have even played.

Crawford will probably drop 40

We're not as bad as we initially thought, especially since Thompson is making more of an impact up front than we, or at least I, anticipated. I still find it hard to believe that we'll be outside the top 5-7, but there are a lot of really bad teams in the NBA. New Jersey, Milwaukee, Detroit, Charlotte, Washington, Minnesota, Sacramento, Golden State, New Orleans. Add in Phoenix and Houston being pretty bad, and there's some stiff competition for these picks in the top 5.

We'll see how the next few weeks play out before we have to start re-evaluating things. I want Sacramento to miraculously make the playoffs, not us.

at least half those teams are better than the cavs tho.

Its pretty insane that Irving doesn't have an assist yet. Hes given up good passes for 6 or 7 jumpers that haven't hit. Gee has been making a big impact so far this season. I've loved having him. He should start in my opinion.

Trailblazers announcers are pretty funny - after that Parker bank shot 'Anthony Parker looks like his sister Candice out there'

Irving would probably have around 3 assists if Casspi and Jamison can actually hit something.

I am on the boat with Gee starting over Casspi... Didn't think I would ever say that.

Every time Irving penetrates and passes to someone, the offense runs so smoothly. That's what I like the most from him.

Ugh Casspi should seriously stop shooting.

Irving playing so well tonight. That layup over Gerald Wallace was sick. Same with the and 1.

Casspi seems to be the only guy concerned about us getting a top 5 pick. :lol:

Also, I love Irving.

I was wondering how long we'd be able to keep up the hot shooting from 3, and tonight they aren't falling for us.

I didn't expect the the Cavs to win this one.. And it looks like they will lose this one. Too many turnovers and open missed shots. Irving and TT had a good game though.

I like how Coach Scott is play Irving in garbage minutes to see what he can do.
