Not sure what to expect from this org right now, thought for sure Korver would have been moved during the mini vacation to acclimate the new player(s) unless of course he is traded for a scrub and a draft pick...
Maybe with the TT Nance front court we can give Detroit some taste of their own medicine on the boards but I'm not counting on it.
Do expect us to come out with some intensity after the layoff

If we trade Hill, we need a backup PG because Clarkson isn't a PG.

As per usual, the officiating is awful. Scrubs off the bench initiating contact and getting rewarded with foul calls.

I've been watching this game for five minutes and I'm tempted to turn it off. This **** is unwatchable. Offensive players using their off arm on every possession - no call. Offensive players running into defenders in the paint, defensive foul. Offensive players drive the basket, no contact but the official anticipates the foul - foul.

I don't even understand how you're suppose to coach young players to defend in this league. I couldn't coach in this league the way it's officiated now. I'd get thrown out every game.

Straight garbage close out to the quarter there by Sexton. Five point swing because he rushed a mid range jumper early in the shot clock.

“According to sources, the Cavs are seeking a first-round pick for Korver, although the prevailing feeling among several NBA officials is that no team will likely agree to the Cavs’ asking price.”

Thirteen fouls in the half. Pistons shot 14 free throws and made 13 of them.

LOL and Reggie Jackson flops and picks up an off the ball foul to start the half. I don't think I can get past this.

Bullock drops his shoulder into Hood and gets the call after the miss. We're at 15 foul calls already. Silver's at the game. I cannot believe he's watching this and thinking yeah, this is good for the league.

Bullock leans into the defender on the three point attempt. Gets the call. We're at 16 calls. More than six minutes in the third quarter.

And now the Cavs have essentially given up on defending at all. What a joy this is to watch.

Can't even imagine how difficult it must be for the Cavs roster to remain committed to the process when the goal gets farther away this early in the season. They've dug a massive hole for themselves and the only ones remotely interested will soon be down to only the ones up for new contracts. I guess it helps the tank but this brand of losing this many out of the gate looks more like a disorganized accountant

Yeah, this game was very frustrating to even watch.
