Looked at the power rankings, and this is what they had to say for #25 Cleveland:

"Swiping LeBron from Clevelanders apparently wasn't enough. Now it's Cleveland State's Norris Cole who's been ensnared by the clutches of South Beach. Pleased as the Cavs must be to be .500, local distaste for Miami can only be spreading."

ESPN is such a joke.

Lol what a stupid thing to say.

It's not like Norris Cole was drafted or had anything to do with the Cavs. He didn't even work out with Cleveland because he knew we were taking a PG with one of our top picks.

Wow, idiotic on BSPN's part. The heat index is a fucking joke.

Who wrote that? I'd like to tell them what I think about their writing on twitter.

I finally get to hear the GOAT announcers as the Cavs are at home tonight.

T2 is dominating the bobcats front line. He's unbelievable. I havent see him play many minutes with Anderson Varejao on the floor at the same time. As anyone else noticed this or got an idea why this is?

Watching this team and its offense this season is infinitely more enjoyable than last season. I'm enjoying the easy baskets it creates and the ball movement. The defense leaves something to be desired, but considering the horses we're working with its not terrible. Its a shame we couldn't see this offense with LBJ paired with Mike Brown's defense. That would have been something to see IMO.

Mullens looks better than I expected him to.

Kyrie is a beast. Can't wait to get some actual talent around him. 5 games is way too early to make any judgments, but Casspi looks like a bum.

That block was un-real.

Cassie hasn't looked great, but that was a good trade.

One of the most exciting games I've ever watched as a Cavs fan. Going to be fun to watch this team grow and play the rest of the season. Nothing better than watching good TEAM basketball.

SHHH...dont tell Jordo, though. Only teams full of super stars can be entertaining.

Kyrie and Tristan, barring injuries, will be in the rookie game. Kyrie, again barring any injuries, will be ROY.

Also, Alonzo Gee is really turning into a solid bench guy.

Agreed, tonight's game was a lot of fun. T2 is really growing on me, so far its looks like I will really being eating Crow on that one and I'm glad. Gee did have a solid game, him and Sessions were the only one to show up in the opener and this would be his other strong game I'd say. Great find by the Cavs IMO but don't try and tell crynasty that. He doesn't think our GM has done anything to garner praise.

Gotta give the dude credit. Scott has said that Gee showed up to camp in good shape and really looked like he has been working on his game. You can see the improvement he has made in the offseason

Cue Jordo and failnasty to wait for a Cavs mid season swoon to spew their typical bullshit in order to seem credible.

Unless something really drastic happens, this team is going to win more games than most people think.

Still will be a lottery team, but in the "upper" of the missed playoff teams.

If that makes sense lol
