Cavs @ Pacers 

Post#1 » by Dupp » Sat Nov 2, 2013 11:03 pm

Hopefully we will play a bit better than we did against the bobcats. Either way its going to be really tough. Pacers are a top 2 team in this conference.


Go on....

Waiters is really aggressive early. Good stuff (even though hes been blocked a few times)

I like this game already, the refs don't seem to be calling fouls every second and Charlotte isn't flopping all over the place.

Why is it that they never ever call people for fouling Waiters. Man, he was just popped on the head twice on that back cut.

I thought we'd be a better shooting team than this

Wow, I'm still marveling out how many touch fouls we get when we get hammered and nothing is called.

I didn't think we would win tonight, but at least keep the game competitive. I cannott see us winning more than 30 games unless we trade for a competent wing player. Good thing we didn't trade our pick, time to get in the Wiggins race!

Also, Bennett is trash. Number one pick still without a field goal after three games? :lol:

Horrible game.. Other than the CJ Miles poster, everything else sucked. Poor shooting from Kyrie and Waiters. Bennett still hasn't made a field goal... Wtf? I am starting to question this pick. And no minutes for Bynum tonight. Not really looking forward to the next game at all.

Bynum is getting eased into the season, we want him at full strength for the long haul, not for a couple weeks.

Kyrie is trying too hard to be something he isn't, 2 games in a row we were waiting for him to take over and he refused to.

Bennett needs to play better so we can swing him for a real wing lol. Let's go all out and get Rudy lol. Do you think he'd still refuse to play off of the ball with Kyrie manning the point or would he still be the same Tunnel Vision'd guy he's always been?

If you guys don't get dominant guard play, you're in serious trouble. Irving SHOULD dominate - he's an incredible talent. Waiters I still have serious questions about.

When you say go all out and get Rudy do you mean all out tank mode? Gay on this team would be the worst thing in the world.

I wonder if Miles is truly the better option as the starter with Irving on the floor, with Waiters playing with the bench squad.

I really want to see Karasev get mixed into the lineup, he's a pure shooter and I feel he can have an impact in limited minutes.

I'd love to have a SF who is truly a 3-point shooter and lock down defender, with athleticism. In that Kawhi/Jimmy Butler mold. We need a guy who does the little things

With how bad Clark is playing i dunno why Karasev hasn't got some minutes. Miles has been good so far but i still dont like the way he plays and dont expect it to continue.

I mean, Rudy's biggest problem is the fact that he handles the ball. Teams ask him to facilitate and carry the offense..he's not that guy. Someone has to force him to play off the ball, and only iso in post-up scenarios.

It wouldn't be a tank move, to be honest. It would make us better, and he's an expiring. But it won't happen, Rudy Gay's playstyle isn't conducive to winning, it only would be if he were a smarter basketball player and played off of his PG.

It's just one game against a title contender. I really love how Andy fights on defense, giving up a ton of size he still manages to keep the opp C from dominating the game. I would have liked to see Bynum in there though. I know its better to be safe with him but I think he would have been able to neutralize Hibbert in single coverage and our D outside would have been a bit better. Oh well.

He just never quits. Such a monster. How can you not love Andy???

I don't think anybody saw that coming from Lance Stephenson. Who would have thought he would have been the player to beat the team?
