Well you’d think this would be a good opportunity for the Cavaliers to finally get their first win of the season considering -

The Cavaliers might play an “emotional” game after Lue got fired and play with extra energy and effort in desperation to get their first win.

I assume the Cavaliers want revenge after they were embarrassed in their home opener vs the Hawks.

The Hawks are on the second night of a back to back.

who the starters are will say all we need to know about the direction of this team. If Thompson and Hill are still in sl, then Altmans reasoning for canning Lue is probably distorted. I really want us to crush them tonight and I want it to be Sexton locking up Young, not all this 1-4 switching, don't care if they do it once they are better at it, but not tonight.

George Hill is, presently, the best PG on the roster and the only one capable of starting. Sexton may get there. It took Fox an entire season. But I'm not a fan of gifting away the starting PG spot. It impacts too many other players.

Sexton still a bit out of control. He'll get there.

As long as Sexton gets heavy minutes I'm fine with it for his progress, otherwise it will just take him that much longer.
I like the control and lack of turnovers tonight but the story line is Hood...where the **** was this guy under Lue. Crazy if he can keep it going.
