Cavaliers head coach Byron Scott came to town last season with his much-ballyhooed "Princeton Offense." It was met, however, with a collective "Huh?" and Scott was forced to scrap much of it. A few days into training camp this season, Scott is doing it again, instead opting for an offense he describes as "organized chaos."
Plain Dealer Cavs beat reporter Tom Reed's story on this topic has sparked a debate on cleveland.com between the glass half-full folks and the glass half-empty crowd.

This kids sense of entitlement, knows no bounds. You can't demand minutes and demand the system that the team should be playing, and demand to be treated like a superstar when you have not exhibited the abilities in the NBA. Especially when you have not removed the "BUST factor" hanging over your head. Even after summer league, pre-season and 27 regular season games, many sports writer, sports radio host, NBA analyst , Former NBA player still think that it's a possibility that D"Angelo could be a "Bust".
Do you watch lakers games?

Then call out your player's again telling them that they're "scared"
That's a problem. I'm not sure what the Byron is trying to do here but it's not working and who want's to be coached by a coach that is always calling you out?
Jimmy Butler?

How does that make you better than the Lin, Gallo, and Wil fans who root for them over NY?

Yes. I saw every pre-season game and every regular season game thus far.

Just ignore him. He only posts about Russell and it's always to add something negative about him which should be a serious red flag for being a troll. Nvm looking at the previous page looks like Slava already pointed this out. lol
As for the comment itself. Russell is absolutely right. These players don't fit the system and their PGs even less. Not to mention it's a completely outdated system in today's NBA.

Not true, I have posted positive things about D'Angelo many times. Also I have other posts that have nothing to do with D'Angelo. My very last post, was about Byron Scott.
The most obvious thing to me about D'Angelo, is that he is a wonderful human being. A great kid. Someone who anybody would want to do well.

Hate to break it to you man. He really isnt. The dude was kind of an ass. Hard to see it through just watching it in television. I've met the guy personally, believe me. And to think hes just 19 acting like a pretty diva.

Really? I guess from interviews he seems like a good kid. Hard to be humble at 19...let alone humble at 19 in the NBA making millions.
