Dunleavy uncharacteristically productive.

Dunleavy and Deng seal it.

Depends on the defensive system(and/or the fact the NBA players take plays off in the regular season). For example, the system I was taught in high school was designed to force people to the baseline so help side could come seal them off and force a trap/charge.

Solid first quarter for the Cavs. I really like their chances to only lose by 25.

Bennett played his best game tonight. Made 3x as many shots as all other games combined. Shooting percentage was almost 6 times higher, too. So, another win.

Cavs have been really disappointing so far, long season though.

Did the Cavs hire Mike Brown to intentionally tank the season without having to tell the coach to tank?

Not sure why they hired him....but he will be here awhile. His offense was unbearable with LeBron and company and seems worse now

Why would we want to tank the season? Chris Grant would spend the #1 pick on someone like Mitch McGary.

This team is a total embarrassment right now. Little talent, no heart.

The evidence strongly suggests otherwise.

They're definitely more talented than the Bobcats, though. No excuse to have lost to them twice already.

Is he healthy enough? He's miles better than Brown.

According to ESPN, tempers flared in a players only meeting. Wonder who it was between.

Also said Irving was pissed brown pulled him vs Chicago.

Did anyone believe Mike Brown was a good choice? I was never impressed with Brown with LeBron.

Lets just call it what it is, Mike Brown's success was a product of Lebron James.
