depending on how good sabonis ends up, and it's looking like he could be a top 10 big in the nba maybe, the george trade might be looked at the same way as the harden trade down the line.
Here we go. One lackluster game and you're back in full form. You're licke a heckler who shouts things at players when they can't hear you.

Raymond Felton is now 2nd in USG% on this team at 29.8 %. It is really unfortunate that Donovan can't tell him to stop **** shooting.
------------------------------
A win is a win, but man, this so called "offense" without Russ out there driving it is just beyond horrible. I doesn't look like they're doing much at all most of the time. Instead of pushing the pace against the worst defense in the league, they sleepwalk it up the court, get into their standing positions for the rest of the possession and then watch two guys trying to do something. No sets, just trying to create a little bit of space in the PnR or post somebody up. They went from a 107 pace in those games Westrook played to 98 last night. Why? It's not like Westbrook is the only guy that is phyiscally able to run. The Cavs have been allowing the 8th most opposing fast break points per 100 possessions. Take advantage of that.
They missed some weird shots tonight (most airballs in two weeks probably), but they didn't even attempt to create them all that much. Schröder played 34 minutes and had 8 potential assists. Russ has been averaging 17 in 32 minutes. That's just not going to cut it. Nobody's moving and everybody's settling. Run some sets. Donovan knows what that is, right?
George-Adams without Westbrook now at a 94 ORtG in 113 minutes. That's a 24pp100p swing and flat out embarassing. Nobody in this league is good enough for that kind of turnaround offensively.
The lack of plays called for George spot up jumpshots is very concerning btw. Last year they had multiple ones where he came off screens and curled into good shots. This year it looks like they're hellbent on just dumping the ball into him so he can go "create". Stop that. It's not working the way you want it to. Go do what has worked and will work in the future.
