I've always had irrational love of Favors, but he's playing well tonight so far.
Just looked at his season stats, he's having a pretty good season stat wise. #2 PF in PER this season. Looks like he's starting to put it all together.

Great game tonight. A lot different than when they played at the beginning of the season and Heyward hit the game winner. Kyrie breaking up the 3-1 break and turning it into the alley-oop to Love was pretty.

Great stat lines by the starters other than LeBron and Kyrie should each get about 3 of JR Smith's shots.

That might be a little extreme. He definitely shouldn't lead the team in shot attempts, but I like the fact that he's a threat. Team's have to respect him which is huge for our spacing.Ironman92;1698607 wrote:Great stat lines by the starters other than LeBron and Kyrie should each get about 3 of JR Smith's shots.
It looks like Kyrie is starting to get the team ball concept as well, and he's also playing very efficient. On our 4-game win streak, he's hit 36/63 shots, good for 57% from the field, 8/15 from 3-point range (53%), 23.75 ppg, 6 assists per game, and as many steals as turnovers. He's playing some good basketball, and even played some stellar D against Rose on Monday. Hopefully, these guys keep progressing further and learning to play together, and this thing could get really fun to watch!
Also, THIS was a thing of beauty!

Kyrie has played very well on the def end as of late. Read on Twitter last light that opponents where's he's the nearest defender are shorting 38%

Having Mozgov is huge. He fits our team as well as I could have hoped. His running the floor, quick flashes into the post before running the play, THE DEFENSE. My god, having a rim protector while getting effort from the whole team (especially Lebron); we've looked like a possible contender last few games and that's without Shump yet.

I'd rather use the roster spot on a backup ball handler so we don't have to see Delly in the playoffs.Commander of Awesome;1698707 wrote:http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/236359/LeBron-Meets-With-Ray-Allen-About-Joining-Cavs

I thought Hibbert fit the Cavs better, but through the few games Mozgov has played, I was way off. He has been perfect for them. He is quicker, which allows him to not be a space crowder when posting up. He doesn't just sit there the way Hibbert would've. Allows the guards to drive more freely.lhslep134;1698703 wrote:Having Mozgov is huge. He fits our team as well as I could have hoped.

The best compliment you can give is that it was a "panic trade" that doesn't look like a panic trade, but rather a well-thought out, well-researched move.
Weren't we targeting him before the season?

Yes, from what I heard out of Griffin in a recent presser, Mozgov has been on the radar for quite some time.lhslep134;1698739 wrote:The best compliment you can give is that it was a "panic trade" that doesn't look like a panic trade, but rather a well-thought out, well-researched move.

We need a backup pg badly but think that's solved, if Ray signs, by putting joe Harris down on the d league team full time. Not sure if that's how it works though or if he still takes up a roster spot.

Kyrie 8/13
LeBron 8/16
I don't think it's too extreme to have LeBron and Kyrie each take away 3 of his shots....especially in the case of those shooting percentages.
How about 2 each.

I could roll with that. I just like the fact that JR is a scoring threat and that the entire starting 5 has been in the double digits the last couple games.Ironman92;1698865 wrote:Smith was 5/16
