Pretty impressed with the way that the Cavs played tonight. If the majority of the season goes like this I'll be very happy. Coming up short in close, hard fought games is fine with me.
Kyrie is going to be nasty, you put some shooters around that kid and he will be dangerous

What's the purpose of playing Jamison 35+ minutes a game? He's terrible, he's old, he needs to be riding the bench. I don't care if he makes $100 million a year.

first of all, TT is not the same player as Blake. They don't even play similar.se-alum;1031370 wrote:Griffin, as a rookie, was much more polished offensively than TT.
Secondly, Blake was not and still IS NOT offensively polished. He's a dunker and that's his main move. He's still not added a consistent mid range jumper, his rebounding is inconsistent, and he's still a liability playing man-to-man defense. Being a superstar is more than just getting flashy dunks.
Is Blake a good player? Yes. I stop short of calling him GREAT though.
The comparison jus doesn't mesh, IMO.

Also, Kyrie has that "killer instinct" it seems. He wanted the ball at the end of them game, created a great opportunity for himself with a nice crossover.
These are growing pains, but no doubt he finishes those in the future.
His 2nd half was a bit of a drop off, but Byron said he was a bit tired. Longest he had played in a long time. He's still getting his conditioning in order... The super short training camp/preseason really hurt him conditioning wise.

The more I see of Kidd Gilchrist the more I like him. I'd love it if the Cavs were able to get him

He's having a great game against Louisville. 16 points, 9 rebounds at the half.

Drummond is on as well, I could see that kid going #1.

Davis is the #1 pick. Dude will be a stud at the next level.

I just gave my opinion on the topic at hand, mainly about Griffins offensive polish.

Depends on who you ask, either way it sounds like those two go #1 and #2thedynasty1998;1032462 wrote:Davis is the #1 pick. Dude will be a stud at the next level.

I just see visions of Davis putting on 30+ lbs and being a dominant player. He gets up and down, is long, athletic and has great hands.KR1245;1032550 wrote:Depends on who you ask, either way it sounds like those two go #1 and #2
I should say I haven't seen much of Drummond though. This years draft could be scary good, when you add Rivers, Beals, Jones and others.

Boobie has been playing pretty good so far this season. I'd rather him start over Parker at the 2 even though it might be a liability on defense. Parker doesnt do shit.

Rookies played a solid game, that's the most important thing
