GT: Cavs @ Hornets Fri Jan 2 7PM EST

They have lost 3 in a row, including blowouts by the Pistons and Bucks. I think we have a solid chance to win.

This was a game where Al would've come in handy. The closest thing they have to a serviceable center is Kevin Love
investigate Adam Silver

Is James playing? Not that it really matters.

If Love starts at center Cody is a better matchup for him.

he wont though with LBJ out i think, my guess is Love at PF and Thompson at C

LBJ will be out 2 weeks. Keep in mind the Bulls have the right to swap picks with the Cavs for 2015.

That is unless the Cavs slip back into the lottery…

Thankfully the East is really weak, otherwise Okafor would be a Cav.

I want to beat these guys so so badly. We now have our shot with LBJ out.

Man this would have been the perfect year not to suck with the East being so wide open. Last years second half Bobcats team would be a top 3 team in this years East. Too bad every move we made in the offseason turned out to be the wrong one and we suck balls more than ever.

I saw that as well. Pathetic, and very unprofessional.

The Cavs sans Varejao and Lebron just might be a bottom 3 defensive squad in the NBA.

Now that Biz is on the first unit shouldn't we probably start Neal at SG over Hendo to add some offense/shooting to the first unit and add some defense to the second? I feel like our starting unit is so solid defensively with Biz that we can afford to start Neal and now our bench doesn't have a single player that can play any defense. I honestly might start Marv at PF again even though he sucks because he complements Biz better than Cody imo. That would also give both units a big that sets good ball screens. I mean, obviously Clifford isn't considering any of this but am I wrong in my line of thinking?

I like Henderson better than Neal offensively right now. Let alone defensively
