WTF you have 2 TO's to call up a play, and thats what you get?

Why force the shot there's plenty of time

I don't get why Kyrie took the 3. Miles needed that shot.

Can't believe Kyrie dribbled that off of his leg..smh. Great game otherwise.
Why?? Waiters, bennett, Gee, and others shoot it almost anytime they touch it.

Waiters played great tonight. Bennett needs his shots to get going and game any sort of confidence.I dont think he takes bad shots, and even if he did, he plays like 10 minutes a game it seems. He had a great dump down pass to Bynum tonight. Gee might shoot his almost everything he touches it, but pretty much the only time he touches it is when he is standing in the corner wide open. Other people do need to shoot besides Kyrie. I think they play great team ball and hustle. I've seen much worse at least. My biggest problem right now with ball-hogging is Jarrett freaking Jack.

Bennett is awful. He's always been an awful pick. He'll never be very good. Might as well just accept that now. Luckily, I don't think the Cavs need him to do anything to still make the playoffs. Except maybe stop shooting.

The Cavs cant even put together 4 good quarters. They should probably work on that before even thinking playoffs.

I expect(ed) some growing pains under a new coach with young players, last night though I was pissed with the laziness on Def, and hurried BS offense. TT was getting pwned in the paint and it effected him on the offensive side. First good game from waiters was nice, but he still has a lot of work to do.

I wonder if perhaps letting Byron go was a mistake?

I've always 100% been against mike brown.

Hiring Mike Brown was stupid and I don't think he's that bad of a coach. If he couldn't get it done with LeBron, why on Earth would you give him another shot at it with Kyrie?

Might be the best defensive assistant coach in the league but a piss poor head coach. Paint drying is more exciting than his offense.

That's what I didn't get either. He was horrible with Lebron James. How on earth can you be horrible with Lebron James?!

Mike Browns was horrible with LBJ? Top record in the NBA 2 seasons in a row and a trip to the Finals is horrible? You drinking early S&L?

He was a horrible offensive coach. If I had a nickel for every time someone said "if Mike Brown would just let an offensive coordinator/coach run the offense." When LBJ was here, the offense consisted of him "killing ants" at the top of the circle and then jacking up jumpers as the shot clock ran out. At times, they'd score on fast breaks. For the most part, Brown's offense was atrocious.

Umm he did have an offensive assistant, John Kuester. Who then left to become the Pistons HC. Seriously guys, do you even listen to yourselves/watch the games or just spout what you heard on Cleveland Radio?

Yeah, I know that Kuester was his offensive assistant and left. When Brown was running the offense pretty sure it looked worse. Wasn't that part of the reason Kuester got a HC gig?

Letting Byron go was one of the few things this front office has done right.

Mike Brown is absolutely not a terrible coach. I just didn't think it was a good move to bring him back because of what I said earlier. You know what you're going to get. Why not give someone else a chance? If he couldn't get it done with LeBron, he never will with Kyrie. Now with Kyrie and LeBron...that's a different story.

What would you have liked them to do? If you're going to say they did a shitty job need to say where/what you would have done differently.

Well considering they've had 2 #1 overall picks and a #4 overall pick in the post Lebron era I'd sure hope they wouldn't fuck it up. Jury is still out on Bennett but so far he looks like a dud.

I also think the front office has been pretty good since LeBron. Like I said already, I didn't like the Mike Brown hire that much, but I don't necessarily hate it. Could do a lot worse, that's for sure.

Bennett is the worst move they've made. He looks the part so far. I don't see him ever panning out into much. Hated that pick but they weren't looking at a real solid draft board either.

Maybe they should have drafted Noel LOL. Or Oladipo even though we have Waiters and Jack. Makes a ton of sense. I didn't like the Bennett pick either, but in hindsight it looks like the best move at the time. If you paid any attention to The Cavs in the preseason, you would know Bennett showed a ton of potential. He was rushed back from his injury and is still not in shape.
LMAO at labeling him a bust after 5 games. It's a good thing the t-Wolves didn't give up on Love after his first year where he averaged like 5pts.

I said jury is still out. I think he pans out too because he was a beast in college and forms a solid trio with Kyrie and Waiters for the next decade.
