Cavs have been a fun team to watch through two games. Playing as a team.

Starting off 2-0 is nice, no matter who we've played.

I agree. I have never understood the desire to trade away a big who is pretty much going to give you 15 points and 10 boards as a starting point every night.

Not to mention he is imposing in the paint.

I know it’s typically not like that anymore, but can we please have one of our starters from the championship team retire as a Cav? I really hope K love retires in this jersey. I’m sick of the trade rumors every year.

Cavs playing good again tonight. Up 14 on the 76ers at the half.

Up 22 now. They're rolling.

End of the 3rd, Cavs up 21.

I know it’s early in the season, but we might have a squad this year!

JB has them playing great unselfish ball. I can totally see us moving Love for some more depth. He’s always hurt. We are good inside and out this year, still missing that wing player but man McGee Drummond and nance have been really good

Drummond had another strong game, played 26 minutes, 24 points, 14 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks, 3 steals. He is the team leader, opening night the announcers talked alot about how he wants that role, and has really embraced it.

I def miss Fred calling games. New guy sucks

So if both seasons ended today, the Browns are in the playoffs and the Cavs are tied for the #1 seed.

Cavs are fun to watch if nothing else. Playing unselfish basketball, moving the ball around and playing defense.

Hopefully, Okoro is back soon and continues gaining experience.

3-0 to start the season. Whoda thunk it?

Cavs play hungry and improved. Fun team so far

JC

The thing with basketball is with 5 starters, it doesn't take all that much to improve in a big way from one season to the next.

Our backcourt is learning to dish the ball and our frontcourt is hitting the boards hard.

With 'wing" men and whatever else you want to call various positions, the game is still the same. Score points, play defense, and own the boards.

My goodness!

#6 Cavaliers:

So who else penciled in the Cavs for a 3-0 start and the league's second-best defensive rating? It might not last, but there's reason to be excited in Cleveland again, with Collin Sexton and Darius Garland looking extremely promising as the backcourt of the future. The wins over the Hornets and Pistons could be chalked up to poor competition, but Cleveland put an absolute whooping on the 76ers on Sunday to remain undefeated. We'll see how the Cavs fare when they play some more potent offenses, but they've been fun to watch so far.

Quite a difference with team play and LOTS of hustle. Made some earlier versions look like sleds. Love is hurt again? Early, even for him.

Cavs look like they have more than we are seeing, and it shows upside promise. Have seen parts of several games. This club is fun to watch, and Nance seems really ready to get after it.

Go, Cavs!

j/c...

Increased attendance for Cavs games approved. Up from 300 fans...

Tonight is a game probably closer to what we will see. We still need a 3 and 4. Love really needs moved. He’s done nothing but collect checks for better part of 3 seasons. We are good at front and backcourt with depth, our wings are still not nba quality. Going to be an interesting first few months. I like JB, I think the team is behind him which is 85% of the battle

Big problem is cedi had a crap night, but unfortunately he wasn’t all that good to begin with.

I really don’t want to trade love but damn man he’s always missing games.

Cedi is a dumpster fire. I really can only stand him for short bursts lol. Love and windler are glass, we have to solidify the wings, rest of our pieces are young and solid

I'd trade Love in a heartbeat if someone is foolish enough to pick-up his contract for this year and the next two.

I still think this will be a fun team to watch develop over the course of the year.

Love is out for 3 weeks right now

Which means 5 weeks and a bunch of Banana Republic photo shoots in that time!

At this point glass is a compliment. Love just...ugh.

I guess I would too.

But I doubt anybody would, so we’re probably stuck with him the next 2 years minimum.

Okoro was out as well.

What a ballgame!!! Go Cavs

Today is the day Collin Sexton became President.

Sexton is balling out of control right now. What a great night for the cavs!!

No doubt. It's a pretty good 1-2 punch with Sexton and Garland.

As a PG I would like to see him increase his assists, and he will as he gains more experience, but no doubt he can fill the hoop.


Assists out of the position might not matter as much with the Cavs going with true post players. More assists should come out of the post.

Cavs are looking like a basketball team. JB has them playing sound, fundamental basketball. Five guys playing as a team are going to win basketball games. That is proven over decades.

JB is doing a great job.

Cavs will be even more fun to watch when they finally get healthy. Sexton played like he had not missed a beat. Great team win.

Need to get Garland back. Also, Love whenever he decides he's ready to play again and I'd like to see a healthy Windler get some playing time just to see what kind of 3pt threat he can be.

Maybe Dellavedova will eventually clear his 1.5 month long concussion protocol.

JB has this team buying in and its been fun to watch.
