Game 4: Cleveland Cavaliers (0-4) @ Detroit Pistons (3-0) - 7:00 PM ET

[DETermination]

Yeah our crowd really sucks for a team starting off 4-0 with a star player

It's the Cedi Osman led Cavs.

True lol

[7r5ur]

Can we get a good FT shooter like Andre out there please?

It doesnt get any more pathetic than the automated "Defense" chant.

[DETermination]

I know our schedule has been easy to start the season but the old pistons wouldn't be 4-0 right now, this feels real good and Blake just continues to look like a superstar.

[_Und3r][D4wg_]

Ish back in is a great sign

Thank God... We could've been two core players down, then Blake would've had to put on his cape again for the next few games.

A win is a win that we'll definitely take, but this feels "meh" when it should've been an opportunity to flex muscle against a weak opponent.

Did Andre just say the Cavs "are a very good team"?

I mean they made it to the finals last year, kept a lot of key guys AND added a lotto pick. Not like they lost a ton of talent. Just a random high usage wing.

Sounds like addition by subtraction TBH

Blake with only 9-13 (FGA-FGM), 4-5 of those on 3s. Something I've noticed about him in recent years is a tendency to consciously hold down his FGAs after a particularly monstrous night -- basically looking more to assist and letting his teammates take their turn at the basket. He would've been close to (if not gotten) a 3x2 had guys knocked down their shots.

So I'm confused. We still on the trade Drummond band wagon, or is that silent tonight?

I'm never sure on what night the sky not only fell, but imploded completely like a dying star.

Just trying to stay abreast of the situation.

The bandwagon demands 40/30 on 90% shooting with no mistakes every night.

And I agree with the bandwagon. It's not enough to have the best front court in just the nba. It needs to be the best front court in this galaxy.

I say trade both in a package deal for Kemba Walker, and Zeller plus a 2nd round pick.

Dre's bandwagon simply wants dre to stop shooting 3's. To set strong picks for his shooters. To establish low post position w/o the ball in his hands. To step up and guard the ball in pick and roll situations. All things he is fully capable of doing butttt ..... Points and rebounds are great;those other things can help lead to finals and championships.

Good bounce back game for Dre. Even had a couple nice moves in the post.

My first game at LCA was great! $30 parking across the street a little more than the Palace. Building is really nice. We had club seats and that entire club area is really great a bug upgrade from the Palace. Cavs made a team effort to make sure Blake wasn't going to have a big game really trying to force him to pass out. Luke got nailed pretty hard and was wincing in pain going right to the locker room as soon as he left the game. Luke was great before the injury. BLAKE was angry and frustrated a lot, which I actually like to see. You can tell he is not ok with losing which it seemed like many on this team could laugh or smile while we get beat down. He is 100% in on playing hard and proving people wrong right now. Even though we've had close games against weaker teams if Blake continues this effort we are going to win high 40s or maybe even 50 games this year.

Dre had a tough stretch early but played really well overall and mostly within what his skill set is so that was great to see tonight.

My first game at LCA was great!

Glad to hear you enjoyed the experience. You ought to bring along a few more buddies to help fill up seats... I swear this team would be playing with a lot more energy and heart if the LCA is always near full-capacity.

...BLAKE was angry and frustrated a lot, which I actually like to see. You can tell he is not ok with losing which it seemed like many on this team could laugh or smile while we get beat down...

Better be careful not to overdo it, lest he be called Mr. Grumpy in the locker room... Or worse, he might turn into (horrors!) CP3.

[DETermination]

Blake is now shooting 65.2 percent from 3.

[_Und3r][D4wg_]

Blake is now shooting 65.2 percent from 3.

And he's doing it on maybe an average of 5-6 (so far) attempts per game, including clutch situations. That percentage won't be sustainable for long, but he might have a shot at finishing the season in the .40s

Who knows? Maybe his development goal for next season is to start launching from 35-40 feet away.

[7r5ur]

Blake is now shooting 65.2 percent from 3.

Eventually teams will play him tighter out there so his percentage and attempts will go down but that should make his drives to the rim that much more effective.

Sad to hear about Kennard. And just as he was starting to show signs of life. At least it's his non-shooting shoulder, but still a significant set-back, I'd imagine.

Fry got SJ the same way a few seasons ago. I'm beginning to feel a perverse need to see him doubled over in pain during some future game. This does me no credit, but there it is.
