Spurs @ Cavaliers

Dion playing really well to start this game. Spurs likely wear this team down late in the game, but good start by the Cavs.

Yea right after I hit send, Dion was put on the bench. He was making some nice passes out there and had 5 rebounds in the first 8 minutes. I also liked his shot selection while he was in there.

Tyler Zeller with his best half as a pro there. Nice to see him get a bit more aggressive as well. Dion played great too. An excellent first half by the rookies. The bench did a good job too. Spurs will likely still win, they are a fantastic passing basketball team. Cavaliers defense is just too poor to handle it for 4 quarters.

Tough loss to a great Spurs team. It was nice to see Tyler and Dion play some great basketball. That might be the worst I've seen Kyrie play too. Give Tony Parker credit, took Kyrie out of his flow getting him in foul trouble. Good time for the All Star break. Make us proud over the weekend young Cavs.

Not sure I agree with giving the last shot to Irving even though he couldn't make a basket to save his life tonight. :-?

Yes, I thought that was Dion's moment to shine. Considering the way both were playing.

Also, Irving could have passed the ball a little more in the 4th instead of just throwing up some shots. I mean, when he is making them, it's great, but don't just shoot every other shot in the 4th quarter because you feel you are entitled to it.

There have been many games this season where Kyrie wasn't shooting well until the 4th quarter. So, I understand him thinking he'd get going at any second

Three cheers to Zeller for not sucking

Kudos to your rooks for playing their A game against us... :D

That said I think the Spurs really tried to treat Kyrie as the head of the snake.

Makes sense, but it almost cost you a loss (probably should have).

Cavs were really good last night. Played great defense against the best team in the NBA.

Waiters can be a really good player in this league if he plays within his game. He's already really good at attacking the basket. He made a big shot but he also gave one up, good to hear him acknowledge that after the game.

Zeller actually looked good for once. And Kyrie had his worst game of the season, just one of those games....
