Cavs vs. Pistons 

Post#1 » by Okada » Tue Dec 24, 2013 12:04 am

They had the camera on Bennett for awhile in shootaround and I'm amazed at how much skinnier he looked. Hopefully that can help his play immediately.

Why do I feel like we are going to get out rebounded by 30 tonight?

Waiters is out again.

Bynum actually went 4-4 on jumpers against the Bulls.

Alonzo Gee is such a frustrating player.

He's one of the worst players who always looks like he should be better, that I've ever seen. It's so annoying to see him randomly nail well-covered corner 3s, jump passing lanes, play great man defense, slash through defenses and throw down athletic dunks, yet still be so incompetent the other 95% of the time.

Especially when Clark is money from that corner three and J. Smith is a four playing out of position.

Damn this team is no fun to watch without dion.

Yeah but he's starting to shoot more and get further away from the rim.


Gee cannot shoot at all my god.

That rule about not being able to touch the ball after it goes through is ridiculous. The ball just fell right in Kyrie's face and he instinctively grabbed it, and that's a technical? Cmon.

2-9 on threes to open the game and I'm pretty sure all 7 misses have been wide-open.

Bennett is so lost out there. He doesnt move on offense at all. Every other player moved on that play and he just stood there

Even the biggest Bennett detractors couldn't have imagined him sucking this badly. He needs to find some confidence or something. His play style this season resembles how someone off the street would play - just standing still out at the 3 point line and botching wide-open shots.

Bennett looks like he's moving in slow motion out there. The guy can't even catch and shoot...

I think a lot of his issues are mental but he doesnt look like getting out of it. Like you said he looks like someone off the street playing out there.

Jack's defense is so bad it is remarkable.

Kyrie chucking 3s off the dribble is our most effective offensive gameplan at this point.

Cavs besides Kyrie and Delly are 5 for 35. 5 for 35!

As a team we are shooting .275 in the first half. I guess the good news is that Silver hasn't invoked the slaughter rule.
