They are fun to watch.

It amazed me how in the preseason predictions NO one mentioned them as a team to make the playoffs. Their front court is monstrous, and Jeff Teague is so underrated it's not even funny.

Because the Hawks were the Hawks, no playoff wins to speak of since Dominique Wilkins.

Another drubbing for the Warriors this afternoon.

Mozgov top 5 center

Cavs look good tonight. Mozgov is the key to them getting to the Finals

Well he is exactly what we needed. 15 and 15 is pretty solid against the Bulls though. Excited to see what the team looks like with Shumpert's perimeter D. Teams really coming together!

Al Bundy · 01-19-2015, 09:26 PM

The Warriors would still beat that Cavalier ass.

There are a lot of things you say that tell me you don't know what you are talking about. This is one. There is plenty of talent on the roster.

Wrong. You are basing your opinion on one game. That's your problem. Watch this team night in and night out and you will understand coaching is the number one problem. It's not even just xs and os. It's simple lineup management. Andre Roberson is not an NBA player. That's not his fault. It's Brooks fault for playing him when he's an average defender and historically bad offensive player. It completely throws a wrench in the flow of the offense. Since bringing in Waiters there is zero reason to stick to this yet this rainman mother ****er is looking for a Thabo clone. The Thunder still have talent to match up with any team in the league.

The big difference maker is Lebron's attitude. I don't know if he's buying into Blatt or if he's realizing he has to be a different kind of leader. But this team the past 2 games is entirely different. Every single player is hustling, diving for loose balls, at least putting some effort on defense. Love didn't have a statistically productive night, but I loved the performance. Giving effort on every play. Body language looked much better today.

And who knows how long JR Smith can keep this up. But holy shit, the guy is shooting the lights out.

I think now we begin to see what Blatt's really made out of. I actually think he's got some interesting rotations to work with. His players are actually hustling for a change. Would like to see more set plays but it's hard to complain when you have guys like Kyrie and Lebron that can create off the dribble.

The Cavs have a lot to prove before they show they can beat the West consistently. Not sure they've proven yet they can consistently neutralize a team with several playmakers at the wing or down low. But the last 2 games have shown they can finally start hanging in the East.

Actually I really only save my trash talk for the Spurs. I can't wait to get a hold of them now.

Or...maybe LeBron is finally healthy, they've cut out their cancer, gotten another quality big, and the guys are getting used to playing with each other
