OKC is the sexier team because Westbrook is a stat padding shot shucker.
You make the most outrageous claims.

Should Kyrie be a 6th man? Honestly, yeah. He probably should. His game is much more ISO-centric, and he'd probably tear holes into a second unit. I think we're just a much better team with Delly on the floor, rather than Kyrie. Delly doesn't need to handle the ball, he still directs plays and is the closest thing to a floor general we have. He can also hit spot-up 3's. Kyrie can too, but he would much rather create that shot, than sit on the perimeter and wait for it. While Delly has about a quarter of the "talent" of Kyrie, he's much better suited to play with Lebron and Love in the lineup. Kyrie would probably thrive better if he was doing the heavy lifting of the second unit.

I work nights, so I havent been able to watch but a couple games this season.
I feel very detached.
Though I dont feel so bad, as its only the NBA regular season.
Also, in 2009 I was unemployed, and watched literally every single Cavs game that season.. and we all know how that ended so.. yeah..

Don't know if Lue is gutsy enough to try something like that though.

These lineups have enough balance scoring / defense and would protect Love and Kyries lack of defense:
Della
JR
LBJ
Love
TT
Kyrie
Shump
Jefferson
Frye
Moz

Right. But when it comes playoff time only eight guys should/will be playing. My guess is that Jefferson and Frye will have their minutes cut drastically.

I actually like a 3 man bench of Irving, Moz and Shump. For whatever reason, Moz plays well with Irving, and the two work well together. Shump could pick up the slack for Irving on the defensive side. The three of them would be pretty potent against anyone else's second line.

[quote=ThatGuy] What happened to Mo? [/quoteCleveland Cavaliers guard Mo Williams will visit Dr. James Andrews in Florida about his sore knee Cleveland Cavaliers vs Utah Jazz Mo Williams visit Dr. Andrews in Florida to find out what's wrong with his left knee, reports Chris Haynes. (John Kuntz, cleveland.com) Cleveland Cavaliers guard Mo Williams will visit Dr. James Andrews in Florida about his sore knee All Stories OKLAHOMA CITY – Cleveland Cavaliers guard Mo Williams will travel to Florida on Tuesday to meet with Dr. James Andrews of the Andrews Institute to get a better read on his sore left knee, the guard told cleveland.com Williams has been experiencing pain in the knee for much of the season. He had an injection on Dec. 7, a league source told cleveland.com, but the pain hasn't subsided much. He said it's to the point where it's "a little worrisome." The 12-year veteran was unable to play in Sunday's 115-92 road win over the Oklahoma City Thunder. Matthew Dellavedova was the only point guard available the entire game with Kyrie Irving exiting in the first quarter with flu-like symptoms. Williams will fly back home with the team for Monday's game against the Detroit Pistons before his Andrews visit. He is unlikely to play. http://www.cleveland.com/cavs/index.ssf/...art_river_index

That sucks for him.
He actually LIKES being in CLEVELAND.
I root a little more for guys like that. The Eric Weddles of the world. People that grow and take pride in a city they now call home.

Someone needs to help Delonte West http://nypost.com/2016/02/21/someone-nee...dium=SocialFlowYou rarely see the spiral. You see all-world athletes in their prime climb the ladder of the world, and then they disappear from the public eye with a long, long way to fall. It seems as if Delonte West is the latest cautionary tale, an eight-year NBA career finished since 2012, and only surfacing now looking like a shell of himself. The 32-year-old, who earned more than $16 million in stints with Boston, Seattle, Cleveland and Dallas, was spotted ambling around a Jack In The Box parking lot in Houston earlier this week, reportedly wearing a hospital robe and no shoes. –– ADVERTISEMENT ––

Someone needs to help Delonte West Man, the poor guy obviously has some mental problems. He exhibited some of that while he played for the Cavs. I hope someone can reach him soon. Hate to see soemone suffer like that. But, I would probably go nuts if I hooked up with LeBron's mom...

man our guards just blow on defense, not a single one worth a damn. Glad to see Love with another strong showing, i think the light finally went on with how to use him. I really hope Mo gets his knee figured out, i can't watch much more of delly. He's just not an NBA player. I am convinced on any other team he would be buried on bench if on the team at all. Mo was brought in to pick up that second unit and early in the season he played effective. He needs to get more minutes than delly bottom line. With Kyrie and Smith, we can atleast put pressure on the defense with scoring, but theres noone on that second unit that can do that. Shump is nothing on the offensive end and delly is even worse. You need a guy like Mo who can get you some points from the backcourt. Fix the guard play and our bigs look 100x better and so does the rest of the defense.

This year has to be a career low in free throw attempts for LBJ. He can't get anywhere close to the calls he used to.

Couldn't even finish the entire game last night. LBJ was really starting to bug me. Horrible. Detroit came to play, we came out sloppy and turnover packed.
That win would've been nice.

Man, that's a quick flu recovery. He's on fire right now. LOL.........in sports, especially basketball, "flu-like symptoms" translates into hangover. And considering it was an afternoon game on Sunday, which follows Saturday night......... As to the game: --I don't care who the PG is for the other team, he lights up the Cavs. --Tough game for the Cavs considering they played in OKC the day before. --Candy makes a good point about how bad it's going to be to deal w/LBJ as he gets older.

And the hotel in question tested, and confirmed that there were bed bugs in that room. (probably not something they would do if it wasn't so, because that is a PR nightmare)

Hassan Whitesides is probably the only guy in the NBA the Warriors have no answer for when his head is on straight. His offense and defense are causing major problems.

The more I watch of this Heat game the more I think they'd be the biggest mismatch for Golden State, but they would badly need Bosh. They have mismatches that could exploit Golden State on both sides. Curry couldn't hide on defense. Draymonds and Barnes lack of size would be exposed too.
