Cleveland Cavs (2016 NBA Champions)

Interesting that after the game a few articles mention that LeBron is 'leading' by sitting back. Seems like a few players are not willing to listen to LeBron, so he is deciding to let them find out that by sucking and losing in hopes they cave and start to listen.

Or is that a convenient excuse if his back is killing him and is limiting him?

Also... what is up with Blatt???? There is NO reason that during a game in question that all of the big 3 should be on the bench at the same time. The only time that should happen is when we are up 20.

Blatt is not coaching... I fear he is intimidated by the talent he has on the bench

still not a Dellavenova fan... but Waiters gets way too familiar with the BACK of his opponents jersey
I would love to have Aaron Craft for defense

I'm glad it's finally being brought to attention that they go 1 on 1 too often. Kyrie, Waiters, whoever, have been bringing the ball up, holding it, and unleashing a contested 18 foot jumper in both of the first two games. Against Portland they didn't go in. We cannot hold the ball and settle for the same shots that we had last year. This team should be getting San Antonio-esque wide-open looks. There's simply no excuse not to.

I saw a poll yesterday (I think it was on ESPN) about whether you'd rather have Lillard or Irving. At this point, I don't know. Kyrie's defense hasn't improved much, if it at all this year. I think Lillard has a lower ceiling, but he's definitely more consistent. I also think he'd be better at adapting to the new offense. I know Kyrie has had some decent assist totals this year (especially for a point guard with shooting guard instincts), but he needs to start playing like a facilitator. More Chris Paul, less Kobe.
