Wow. I thought the team played better when Delly was in the game over Kyrie. I bet his +/- numbers were better than Kyrie's and I bet Kyrie's were not as good as most of the other guys.

Moving on..........I was happy w/the way the Cavs played last night. I don't get to see every game, but the ball movement was excellent last night.

We didn't have to witness LBJ and Kyrie pounding nails as much as usual. The crisp passing and ball movement resulted in a lot of open shots for JR, Shump, Love, and Delly. That was fun to watch.

The defense was pretty good. Shump really helps us there. LBJ is good at playing the passing lanes. TT gives us a more mobile big on defense.

Btw-----what's our record since TT has been inserted into the starting lineup? I like Moz, but we are so much more athletic and versatile w/TT starting and he doesn't need to shoot the ball to be effective. That's exactly what this team needs due to having so many other guys who like to shoot.

JR looks hot and he's carrying it over from game to game now. Keep firing it JR Swish!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love our offense.

That dunk by James was sick too!

A healthy and not struggling Moz is still better than a 100% TT.

I saw a rumor that the Cavs would be willing to trade Moz. I'm not sure why because we need more/better rim protection, but hey, maybe they're trying to add another scoring threat to battle SA and GS.

Delly's got a better 3pt percentage than Curry and Thompson.

More so teams looking at him due to us relegating him to a bench role, the expiring contract, and wondering what we'd take for the tremendous upside his ability brings if he's "on". Kind of like the same reason we traded for JR Smith last season.

It was more the other way around. Teams are sniffing around Moz because he got put in a bench role.

Honestly, I don't know what moves this team can make at the trade deadline. Our weakest position right now is probably Center. I don't see a team that's going swap a Center for a Center that's going to be an upgrade for us (or them). We have plenty of guards right now. We can't even get Mo Williams minutes. We also don't have a lot of trade assets. Most of our trade-able pieces would seriously upset the chemistry of the team. Everyone else is probably too over-priced to trade. We're probably looking at our Playoff roster right now.

I can't seem to get the photos to post. I encourage you to go to the link because they are hysterical.

Poor Kevin Love. The big man has a history of getting left out of the Cleveland Cavaliers' group pictures. Look here and here and here. You get the point.

If we, the Internet, notice, so does Love. That's why he took matters into his own hands after the Cavs' latest group picture made the rounds on Instagram on Friday night.

Instead of throwing shade at his teammates for leaving him out again, Love decided to photoshop his head on to teammate Jared Cunningham's body.


We can't imagine Cunningham feels good about this, but it's hilarious.

That head's a little big for Cunninham's body.

I guess he likes having his head Photoshopped on smaller bodies these days.

That is my understanding, as well.

Cavs on a 7 game win streak. It's gonna take something drastic for the Bulls to catch us. Shoot, they're gonna have a tough time holding off Atlanta and Toronto. You can throw Miami in the mix as well.

We have a tough couple of games up next here.

I'm excited. Not only because I can watch the games on regular tv, but the Cavs are in such a good place right now. Healthy, and playing well. I think this is the perfect time for a test. Nothing can equal playoff basketball, and the grind of in-series adjustments over the course of 4-7 games, but it's still a good way to kinda see where you're at as a team.

The Warriors have gotten the majority of the pub and for good reason. The Cavs get pub because Lebron, but man those Spurs fly right under the radar, and they love every minute of it. They're damn good this year. I won't want to miss a minute of a potential San Antonio-Golden State playoff series.

This might be the toughest 7 day test of the regular season. 3 of the top 5 in the west (including 1-2) and Houston.

Looks like Harris is gone. I mentioned trading him earlier in the year to make room for one of the preseason guys.

I think we add a rim protector by signing a buyout player or trading Moz/andy. We need a rim protector and defensive minded center, ours are horrible with Moz and TT. I've literally watched a perimeter player drive to the rim weakside and Moz and TT would stand and watch as they laid it up, its like they don't understand how to rotate. I think that will be the death of this team if that doesn't get cleaned up. When the game slows down having that paint presence is really important. I think we make some moves at the deadline, we have an idea now who the main rotation is, everyone else i think is expendable to improve some weak areas.

Who's expendable that's trade-able? Other than the trade-exception we got for Haywood, we don't have much in the way of trade assets. Moz is probably the most trade-worthy guy we have, but I'm not sure anyone would want to trade a center for a center.

Love's throwing up bricks with wide open looks.

That's everyone right now

Our playoff run will be short with this defense. Lue needs replaced, it hasn't gotten better

I am so tired of this take. I have repeatedly tried to explain to you that the real problem is our on the ball defense. Our PGs do a terrible job of stopping dribble penetration. When that happens, it compromises the entire defense. Our bigs are made to look bad because Mo, Delly, and Kyrie suck at stopping dribble penetration.

I don't need anything explained, I've played this game enough to know what I'm watching which is bad defense in the paint. Yes the dribble penetration needs to stop, but your bigs have to have enough sense to be in position to help, a lot of time they are just standing instead of rotating to help. It has some to do with scheme as well, we have t adapted at all and I've been less than impressed with Lues scheme, but our bigs do not protect well. Mosgov did ok last year. This year fell off the earth. He's looking a lot better than TT tonight. He's been pretty active

But Love is the worst of the lot. He's 2/12.

Yeah pretty sure this is a loss, another choke job against a playoff team. Hey blatt maybe they should be practicing a bit more than once every two weeks. Lebron just chucking, Kevin love looking like he doesn't belong on this team and Jr ice cold, yet blatt will run this lineup until we're down 20

Yeah, I can tell you are an expert.

LOL...........you contradict yourself all the time. Just a couple of weeks ago, you were complaining that Blatt was using too many rotations.

Btw..................how is that bet you wanted to make w/me working out? You know...........the one where you said BOTH Andy and Sasha would play more minutes than TT?

Live and die by the 3. Horrible coaching

Yeah TT really lighting it up too he sucks and way over paid. Only reason he's starting is moz fell off the earth. I'm done replying to you. You are the most immature troll on this board back on ignore

I'm a lot better at this than you . Your takes are borderline hilarious

I never contradict myself. I said he needs to figure out his rotations because he's horrible at it

Dude.............you posted that and then replied to me two more times.

Come on..........you gotta admit that is pretty funny?

Well, the Cavs woke up a bit. We've got ourselves a game now.

Shumpert has amazing anticipation

Kyrie is just so clutch

Really amazing how they make those shots from so far away.

Who won the game again?

Final-OT
Cleveland 110
Dallas 107

Nice to see that Kyrie had 9 assists.

Anthony Davis is probably the biggest disappointment of the year. People were literally calling him a top overall pick in a fantasy draft if there were to be one, over Lebron and even Curry, and he hasn't done anything but breathe in his own hype and get injured. He's had a few high scoring games, but so has Brandon Knight. He's never going to be any good if he can't stay on the court and play the game. His frame was always my biggest fear concerning him coming out of Kentucky.
