Preseason GT: Cavs@Grizzlies on ESPN

[Uncle Drew]

On right now. Last game of the preseason. James resting. Ever so close to the RS.

[T_L_P]

Marc, what have you done with your head?

[CavaliersFTW]

LBJ resting so only real Cleveland and Memphis fans will be posting in this thread :lol

[Hoopz2332]

Kyrie doesn't know how to run point. Love still isn't getting any touches/set ups:biggums: :banghead:

[Uncle Drew]

TT still can't finish.

[CavaliersFTW]

Nick Calathes is one ugly mother******... Grizzlies prob the ugliest team in the league

[Hoopz2332]

[Hoopz2332]

[Kingwillball]

Man huge difference watching heat vs Cavs is the rebounding difference is night and day and Cavs just have more weapons.

[ImKobe]

Cavs are going to maul opposing teams on the boards

[Uncle Drew]

Kyrie with the 25 ft skyhook.

Yes but the Heats rim protection problems will still be there and probably even more so actually, and our backcourt will not be as good defensively. So it's a give and take. Another positive though is that we will also be at least as good as the Heat in the open court given our rebounding and several players ability to get the pass out quickly right off a rebound (Andy is also good at it, not just Love, and other players will pick up on these outlet habits).

[inclinerator]

lol did that guy call him waters

[Kingwillball]

This Cavs team is gonna be scary good by 2nd half of season.

[RidonKs]

lol did that guy call him waters

[CavaliersFTW]

Kyrie with the 25 ft skyhook.

[FatComputerNerd]

How do u figure lol. Joe Johnson borderline star if that, D-will who everyone on this forum will say is a system player, a hurt Lopez(didnt play all season basically) Ancient pierce and garnett.

VS

Lebron (#1), Kyrie(upcoming star, allstar already), Love(all star), Dion(one of the top rookies), Verajao(solid starter), marion, miller, allen etc on the bench. Suck it **** boi

[CavaliersFTW]

Compare this to the Bulls vs Cavs thread, that thread had 550+ posts... this one is practically abandoned and it's on ESPN :lol

[CavaliersFTW]

Cavs didn't take a single dribble on that break.

[mattvNJ]

grizz will win 50~ again this year. Like this new coach.

Damn that was the most impressive lob dunk I've seen from TT.

He's never been known for his above the rim play, but that was fantastic.

[Cavalier]

I think you're getting NBATV mixed up with ESPN.

[Cavalier]

Very true, Delly put the ball at just the right height for him.

[CavaliersFTW]

Yeah that came outta nowhere, he's in his athletic prime and worked hard this offseason if he can suddenly do that, he's never had quite that extension before.

[RedBlackAttack]

Is anyone else annoyed by Hubie Brown as a color guy? I respect him and all for being an old-timer whose been around the game for a long time, but a lot of the time his diatribes are so totally long-winded, irrelevant or blatantly obvious that any old bat off the street could come to a similar conclusion and be less wordy about it. He just gets under my skin for some reason. It takes him way too long to get to the point, and that point is usually something very clear to anyone with a lick of basketball sense.

OMG......yes!!! He just goes on and on :banghead:

I think Tristan is going to surprise a lot of people this year. His first three years were spent trying to turn him into an all-around threat on both ends of the court... a complete player that the team could rely on as a foundational building block. With everything that has happened this offseason, he's now in a much more comfortable role, imo. Big off the bench who can play either frontcourt position and is now free to roam around the rim, but won't be expected to have the offense flow through him.

Considering his work ethic and character, I think he could thrive in that position. He'll be a rich man's Tyler Hansboro minus the annoying antics and cheap shots.

Gotta say I'm pretty disappointed. That thread was amazing entertainment.

TT is still pretty young.. he has a long way to go to develop his touch around the basket.

Yes I agree and I also hate how he says "lig" instead of league. And he says it so damn often, it's like nails on a chalkboard to butcher a word that badly over and over again. He probably says "ruff" instead of roof, too. :facepalm

has tristan ever had a one handed alley-oop before? he usually doesnt trust himself to dunk with just one hand.

[El Gato Negro]

Yay no more practice! Kyrie already shooting 50,40,90 :applause: he also lead the cavs in steals, blocks, points and assists. In practice.
