GSW often will use a 10-12 deep rotation, figure you out in the first half.. then when you think you are fairly close they stomp on the gas.. win by 15-20 pt. Thought Mosgov and Smith did well for newcomers. Even with LeBron it's hard to beat GSW on their floor. They lost once at home so far.


Needless to say Kerr is doing a good job so far managing their rotation and their team (GSW) is playing amazing basket ball. I am not a big lebron fan, But if lebron can rekindle that fire he had and become the play making/ offensive threat..with JR/tristan/love/irving you guys can give them a good run for the money and even take it to them. Lebron can definitely give them some match up issues. Delodova is showing some good energy coming off the bench so he should be able to offer a punch off the bench + Mozgov. Varajove (i know i probably butchered his name) once hes healthy can come in and grab some boards, alongside love or Mozgov. As long as the cavs win the battle of the boards which i am surely certain the cavs have the size advantage down low, and keep gsw off of the 2nd chance points..i think its a good possibility that Cleveland can take them in a 7 game series.

I am not saying that GSW is definitely in hole when lebron and varajove are healthy or will be the difference makers,i think it will even the odds and put more size on the floor against gsw helping on the battle of the boards. I think in the east the CAVs or WIZ have the best chance to beat the warriors. The rest not really

I was impressed by the new look cavs against golden state. Even without LeBron it felt like both teams were evenly matched. Not really sure why love was out the entire 3rd quarter. Blatt is just a bad coach and the team is not going far with him.

I saw a lot of good things in this game. JR Smith Is going to drive us crazy at times but he is a clear upgrade over what we used to have. One thing I appreciate about Smith is that he seems to be the only Cav looking to give Love the ball. Kyrie was disappointing imo, he Is not a PG at all. Delly needs to be replace, every time he hit the court Golden state killed him lol. Mozgov is definitely worth those picks we gave up. Dude is so huge and he kept the warriors out of the paint.

Cavs need to trade TT and Delly and we will get much better. It's obvious we can't beat the top teams without LeBron.

Yeah I love TT and think him and Moz could be really good defensivley but he's such a liability on the other end.

Also with J R his passing has been really good

Return to Cleveland Cavaliers
