Here's an article I read on Eyenga:

http://www.news-herald.com/articles/2011/12/22/sports/nh4889925.txt?viewmode=fullstory

Not a lot there, but it just seems like he's not ready and might be spending time in the D-league. I don't know if Eyenga will ever put things together enough to be a solid rotational player. There's just a big basketball IQ deficit with him that might take years for Eyenga to overcome. It'd be awesome to see, especially with his physical talents. (THAT DUNK ON GASOL :o ) I don't think Scott trusts him out there.

Said it a few hrs ago on rcf, but did the Pistons actually regress? They are really really bad.

Looks like the Cavs have some competition for #1 overall :(

Its too early to tell, but I think there are about 7 teams that will compete for the bottom spot:

Cavs, Raps, Pistons, Bobcats, Wizards, Suns, and Kings.

I think the Kings have the most upside and downside, they have the most talent but it fits together the worst. Same for the Wizards, who I think are the stupidest team in the league.

Our bench has looked great so far. A Sessions/Gibson/Gee/Thomson/Samuels second unit could be really solid this season and keep us from having the worst record, despite us having probably the worst starting lineup in the league.

Did Byron just walk off the court and not shake Frank's hand? LOL

Knight will get a lot of play in tomorrows headlines but Kyrie looked great out there. Knight is just another Jamal Crawford IMO

Great game, Tristan looking great out there, Kyrie looking good too, Samardo could turn out in something decent too.

Jamal Crawford with defense is a really good player though.

Knight is going to be one of those players that kills us every time we play against him, I can tell already.

Isn't Jamal Crawford a Cavs killer?

Why yes I did. Didn't realize that til now.

So I didn't see the game.. But I am glad Irving played much better. TT still looking good out there. Kinda surprised the Cavs won by double digits. It seems like the Cavs aren't the worst team in the league.. Hoping that changes...

They definately have the right coach in Byron to build this team. TT looks active around the rim; pretty quick first step but as the league starts to see him they are going to back off him and he is going to have to show a jumper which i have not seen which tells me he does not have much of one, he will definately have to develop that to turn into more than just an energy player.

I agree that teams will adjust to TT some, but he gets off his feet so quickly that he will still get his around the basket on putbacks and while cutting to the hoop.
