Game 3: Miami @ Cleveland

Re: Game 3: Miami @ Cleveland
I'll post because I'm a very old lurker and it's our home opener, but then I'll go dormant again until Playoffs.
Go Cavs!
Go Cavs!

We actually have a decent number of Cavs fans on here. For some reason though nobody likes posting here.

Re: Game 3: Miami @ Cleveland
I really hope this is a sign LeBron's been working on his jumper. When he's hitting his jump shots, his game opens up.

Re: Game 3: Miami @ Cleveland
his jump shot was awesome in miami then was trash last year. even something in between would be nice.
We've seen one average, one bad and one very good game from him. I think inconsistency could be the tale of the season for bron. This roster is so deep though, hopefully for the first time in his career he wont have to carry his team.

Re: Game 3: Miami @ Cleveland
Love looks great! I still wish they would run more post up opportunities for him but man. Total night and day difference from last season.

He's moving so much better than last season. Hopefully when Kyrie returning takes us to another level, rather than messes up our chemistry. I don't ever want to see Love regulated to the Ryan Anderson role again.

Re: Game 3: Miami @ Cleveland
JR really needs to get going here, he has not exactly started very well.
Not a fan of the ref hate on him so far this year. I know he isn't exactly on the refs "nice list", but the way the refs are all over him so far this season has been a joke.
I gotta say, in the first 3 games I am very impressed by this team so far, especially as compared to how we started last season. Just imagine when Kyrie and Shump get in the mix.
At this rate, I wouldn't mind seen Kyrie sit til January to be honest.

Re: Game 3: Miami @ Cleveland
Cavs are going to have a difficult time retaining Delly next off season if he keeps playing this well. He won't be back for the $1 million per we're paying him.

Re: Game 3: Miami @ Cleveland
Yeah Dellys real good im just more worried where kyrie will fit in and how that will effect love and the 2 point guards.
This team right now, add in shump is capable of a title without kyrie. Mo and delly are a pretty good point duo that suit the team well.

This is so true, the Cavs have been getting screwed in general by refs but it's been downright comical with some of the fouls called against JR. Good defense which is rewarded with really bad touch foul calls.

I'm not worried about Kyrie. We have enough talent to limit his minutes and even yank his chain back to the bench if he comes back and ball hogs. The first three games of that Celtics series last year it looked like Kyrie, Love and LBJ had it figured out. Mo should be the third string PG. His defense is atrocious.

i dunno mo and delly both add something different. Mos been a really good court general so far. Only complaint is hes still on lbj's dick and tried to pass him the ball ( when he was surrounded) at end of bulls game when he could have hit an open love.
Guard positions gonna be so deep with kyrie and shump back. Expect to see two of kyrie/mo/ delly on the court often.

Kyrie and Mo should never be on the court together IMO.

Re: Game 3: Miami @ Cleveland
Too bad its gonna happen. Our team defense has been pretty good and the spacing of those two is great. Theres always gonna be pros and cons to the lineups but there is definitely room an situations where they will be on together.
