Dion Waiters appreciates tough love.
The Cavaliers shooting guard admits he loves the way Mike Brown is coaching him.
“He takes me out, talks to me and then puts me back in,” Waiters said after the Cavs’ 92-74 loss to the Bobcats on Tuesday before a sold-out crowd of 4,047 at the Canton Memorial Civic Center.
Brown yanked Waiters out of the game at least three times to correct mistakes.
“He can be a high-level defender,” Brown said.
However, he wasn’t doing things at a high level in the first half when Bobcats shooting guard Gerald Henderson was scoring on him at will.
Brown called time out and brought the second-year shooting guard to the sideline.
“You’re better than this,” he told Waiters.
