Anyone saying Deladova should be playing more then 5 min per game is out of their mind.

Anyone saying otherwise is out of their mind.

Delly played pretty good defense for the most part though he did have some bad and costly plays on that end. But you know what kyrie and lebron had a highlight reel full of terrible and costly plays on that end. Least Delly gives effort on that defensively. Lebron was too busy gambling and crying about calls and kyrie is just a chair.

The thing I liked most about this game is that the Cavs proved that they could get stops when the game mattered the most. Kudos to Blatt for sticking with Delly, hey I love Waiters but Delly played really well tonight. I swear it seemed like the refs wanted the bulls to win for most of the game. Lebron getting no calls, Taj committing at least 4 loose ball fouls. Gasol and Noah fouling on those 'Blocks' but in the end we played hard and beat adversity. Still way to early in the season so let's just enjoy this ride.

What's funny is that Bulls fans crying about the refs as well. Refs don't win games

Cavs fan here

Refs only bitched at by bulls fans at the end of the game when the refs stopped giving 100% of all calls their way

I'm guilty too of bitching about the reffing early on

I hope the NBA just calls less overall and let's these guys just play

The continuation was the right call imo.

Wasn't really talking bout that but in slow mo it looked correct. In real time not so much.

For anyone that's played basketball that would never be a continuation but In the nba it's different.

There is absolutely no question that the continuation was a good call and yet, these folks are arguing that it was at best a 50/50 call.

The hate from them is glaring and it makes them unable to see the obvious.

Irving picked the ball up, then got fouled. Once you pick up your dribble it's a shooting motion.

Yesterday was great, we beat a great team. We aren't really playing Blatt's style yet, but our talent can carry us until we really take this motion offense in stride.

I dunno if anyone else noticed but Blatt had some really nice set plays out of time outs, it was refreshing.

Sorry late to this thread - but agree with everything said regarding the positives from grinding this one out.

To be real I think we controlled the game in quarters 1-3, felt like we had a solid 8-10 pt lead for most of the game and then the Bulls started chucking up 3's from everywhere. When Hinrich started dropping fadeaways I thought we were done, but the guys showed alot of heart and fight and I loved the D at the end.

I also liked how Love was sort of anchoring our post play, would like to see him get even more touches really especially when LBJ is out. That will be big come playoff time.

I've noticed it all season. Every time out of a timeout we seemingly get a good look or at least the play was well thought out.
