Hopefully this means not as much doubling of LeBron and letting him find the inevitably open 3PT shooters.

EDIT LMFAO LOLOLOLOL:

LeBron violates royal protocol, puts arm around Kate Middleton during photo
https://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nba-ball ... 14913.html

BUT I THOUGHT LEBRON WAS KING???


Douchebag Kelly Dwyer wrote:James was handing the couple Cavaliers jerseys in the hours between the least-loved NBA trip out there – a back-to-back scheduling that results in a late night trip through customs to Toronto. A photo op with the royal couple is clearly worth his time, though, with the Cavaliers supplying a “Cambridge” jersey for the former Miss Middleton and a “Prince George” jersey for the couple’s young son.


Thats from the Yahoo article. Talk about not fact checking. First of all, the game is in Cleveland so no customs required for Lebron. Second of all, least-loved NBA Trip??

LOL I love Casey, he's an endless source of amusement



I like this move a lot. We don't need scoring. We need defence. This also keeps the white squad intact and keeps our advantage when the subs roll in.


Look I'm sure that's what his logic is, and it kinda makes sense, but I'm going to pretend he read through these forums and thought to himself, "TROLOLOLOLOL"

Weren't people advocating for Landry to start after DD went down to keep our sub rotation intact?

Better than GV starting and Ross guarding Lebron imo

You guys are hilarious. If Fields is stating tonight, you have to assume he is bringing it in practice. This move keeps our second unit in place so I like it for this reason.

Wow, Landry is actually playing, nevermind starting? I like it because it keeps the 2nd unit intact and puts a better defensive player in to help. Hope he delivers.

Fields must no doubt be working his tail off in practice, for him to earn this starting spot. Good on him, I hope he's productive.

Fields is probably the only player in the league that can go on without playing a single minute for games then randomly gets to start every once in a while

Popovich used to start random bench players because he didn't want to disrupt the actual bench unit. When Casey does it, everyone questions it.

Wolstat tweeted that there were some "jabs" at James Johnson's focus on defense. Starting Landry would possibly send a message.

Random bench players that weren't Landry Fields.
