So I was at the game. Part of me felt like this was one of those games that was officiated as though it were on the road even though we were at home. Lue has to better identify offensive/defensive balance within his line ups. Clarkson is one of those young guys who opposing teams can speed up until he's no longer playing in control. At the end of the day though, we lost this game at the three point line. This was the first game since the new guys came over that I felt like the team really missed Love.

early foul trouble for Cedi and then Jr. definitely contributed to our 2nd half drop off defensively.
Smith and Korver better snap of their slumps

Thought the Cavs continue to beat themselves. Hoping this will be healthy moving forward plus missing a piece like Love offensively is going to show against great teams like the Spurs. Growing troubles. This is a sign they need to bring in a legit big man who can contain a player like LMA. Aldridge had his way with Tristan all day even if he was not shooting well to start he was getting to the line with ease. I would have thought Illyasova would be a great addition but he is going to the 76ers.

Tyson Chandler, Robin Lopez or Brook Lopez would be my targets before March 1st. This was also one of the weaker games I have seen from Cedi Osman to the point I was thinking Hood might be better suited with the starting lineup. I do not understand why Tyrone Lue will not even attempt to see what Ante Zizic could do for like 5-10 minutes a game. Tyrone Lue might be the problem. The two glaring weaknesses with the two losses was perimeter shooting. Hopefully it will be an aberration as time continues to build a cohesive offensive and defensive flow within the team.
