Jr Smith needs to get his **** together. Getting lost on rotations, making horrible plays on O.

If Lue has finally figured out to rest LBJ and Kyrie at the same time, this might be a turning point.

Kyrie is gonna come in and make some flashy plays throughout the game, and the commentators are gonna talk about how amazing he is, but he's the one that lost them the lead in the 1st, and Deron Williams of all people came in and got them the lead again.

Kyrie without LeBron is not a good player...he just doesn't play winning basketball. Tunnel vision on offense, and terrible, low IQ defense. Interesting how pretty much only David Griffin of all people actually calls him out on it. The media fawns over Kyrie like crazy.

I didn't like that last foul on Teague, and I didn't like the missed travel on James.

If Indiana had big men that were useless, things would be fine. Instead, they have big men that are useless and waste possessions with bad shots/missed bunnies. Parasites.

You can push a guy with one hand and get away with it, but when you use both hands, you're getting called.

Not a fan of people taking shots at where people live/play, Cleveland has its great spots along with its bad spots, just like any city.

Dude you're not used to Kyrie by now? Get over it. He is who he is. Subtract him from the team and the Cavs ain't winning ****.

Even if they coast I'm liking what I've seen so far. They've shut down a lot of what worked for the Pacers in game 1. The defensive effort to a man has been consistent as well.

Also, like most cities that picture looks very different if the sky is sunny instead of overcast. Gray and gloomy is gray and gloomy anywhere.

Indiana are struggling to unlock this Cleveland defence. The Cavs plug holes well and force the Pacers into trouble with every dribble drive.

I actually like Love finishing the quarter off with DWill and 2nd unit crew.

And then bring back Love, like Lue just did in a stagger situation, Kyrie comes in for Bron to five him a blow at 9-8-7min mark and if Lue wants to bring back LBJ at 3-4min mark just in case, I'm good.

Only took Cavs 3 years to settle on something where they can maximize the Big 3's skillsets. Let's see how long this lasts.

Glad Shump is planted on the bench tho...I think his days are numbered with Cedi's impending arrival. I'll take a Koufos or a Delly or any other healthy body instead of Shump at this point.

Yeah for once we're playing well on defense.

Meh, replace him with quite a few other PGs, and I think the Cavs would be a lot better. Lowry or Conley would be WAY better.
