Re: my thoughts on the cavs
3-2 on a tough western road trip. call me impressed.
Re: my thoughts on the cavs
Since coming to Cleveland Deng has played better than he has with the Bulls, and he's still adjusting. He's putting up almost the same numbers, just a little bit more efficient and he's getting about 6-7 minutes LESS per game than he was with the Bulls, but still putting up 19 a game.
I really hope that Denver win was a stepping stone for them and that they can come into Cleveland rested and beat another quality team in Dallas.

i think it's safe to say deng is the best player the cavs have ever got in a trade. can't believe grant pulled that off, really hope the start working on signing him before the season is up. ill be at the q for the dallas game which will be the first time i get to see deng in a cavs uniform live. hopefully they can push into the playoffs with this 5 game home stand.
Re: my thoughts on the cavs
no game thread so ill post here deng looks fired up go cavs.
Re: my thoughts on the cavs
I agree. Cavs looks good after get Deng. They lost today, but I do think they can fight for the 8th spot.
Hope they can find a good trade by the deadline and keep improving.
Re: my thoughts on the cavs
was an ok game today. av played really well, dallas has some very good shooters and it showed,good road win for them. edit i wanted to wait till i watched the replay before i said horrible officiating, ill say it now those refs sucked! lol.

i would love to see the cavs make one more trade for another star, they have the contracts and picks to pull one off, here's hope'n.
Re: my thoughts on the cavs
Varejao is doing great. Putting this kind of numbers in a big market team would lead him to ASG, no doubt.
But you are right. No one cares about him, not even the brazilian press, after his refusal to play for the National Team.
Still, hope the cavs can keep him.
Re: my thoughts on the cavs
watching bulls vs cavs, the cavs could learn alot from the bulls. if they would just play defense and push the ball like Chicago does they would be a 500 team. you can tell the bulls are just better coached.
Re: my thoughts on the cavs
cavs finally win a game the way they should against the bucks and some key teams lost to help them get closer to the 8th spot.

Didn't see the game but Kyrie 10 points, 10 assists with 0 turnovers in 28 minutes impressed me from looking at the box score. Nice efficiency and a real PG line. Thank God we're in the Eastern conference so we can still end up in a solid playoff position if we play well down the stretch. We play the Suns at home on Sunday, and that should be another win, Phoenix has a nice team but we're above .500 at home and they are below .500 away so we [I]should[/I] have the advantage.
Re: my thoughts on the cavs
zeller has come along nicely this year, playing with much better toughness and energy. and that mid range jumper is gravy.
on a negative note though, this cavs team is awful at closing out on shooters, the guards bite on so many pump fakes, then other times, there is no hustle to contest shots, shits ridiculous.
Re: my thoughts on the cavs
the suns game will be a good test for the cavs ,they play the run and gun style that has hurt them in the past. i agree the defense has been bad at times it seems like one week they have good offense and bad d, then the next week it will switch. maybe before the years up the will put some games together with both.
