12 games in.. has the bench scored 100 points total yet?

I don't see the problem as anything to do with the big 3.. but the rest of this team sucks
How does the back of everyone's jersey look guys? maybe you can move your feet BEFORE they passed you by

Big 3 are stressing because when they leave the floor... they have to hope we're not down 10 by the time they re-enter
Worried about Blatt

I think the Blatt worry is legit, I think he and the coaching staff and LeBron need to go to Vegas for a weekend and talk things over. Call it team building.

I mean, if they can get Corey Brewer (or someone similar) for the right price, it solves a bunch of problems, you don't have to start Waiters and then you still have old Man Marion to give LeBron a reasonable break. Oh, and he can defend a little, doesn't help a the rim probably but that's the other option.

The one thing that worries the hell out of me is WHERE THE HELL ARE THE LEBRON/LOVE PICK N ROLLS!!!!!!!!!!

If I see another Andy/LeBron pick n roll I might puke. That is one sure fire way to get Love involved is to pair the 2 best pick n roll players in the NBA together.

Heck, where is the Kyrie/Love pick n rolls? Heck... why not Kyrie/LeBron with LeBron setting the pick?

When they signed all those vets, they were supposed to have a deep bench. Now some guys look done, others look lost, and none seem to know what their role is. Damn right the Blatt worry is legit. If he doesn't get the bench figured out quickly, then the Big 3 can throw down 60-70 a game and they are still going to lose 40-50 games.

Actually, looking at the box scores, LeBald and Love are often the worst in +/-...I mean, yeah, the bench is trash, but they're not exactly lighting it up when the "stars" are on the floor either. I still don't think it's panic time, but if they don't figure some things out by the time the calendar rolls over to 2015, I think the "enormous flop" potential is very high.

Yeah, I've been wondering this all season. It's the easiest and possibly the most efficient way to run the offense, yet I don't think I've seen it on a consistent basis yet. No team can stop a LeBron/Love pick and roll, and Kyrie/Love and Kyrie/LeBron would be nearly as lethal.

Only 30% from 3, still skipped the lube and no common courtesy of a reach-around. If the Cavs can play like this and still not shoot particularly well I feel bad for the team that they truly put it together against.

Cavs with 3 double doubles and none of them Lebron. Noted the competition hasn't been the best but the Cavs D has been much better of late. Love was the best I've seen him with the Cavs tonight, but Kyrie has been the most improved player over the last week or so. As long as 2 of Lebron, Love, and Kyrie show up every night the Cavs will be hard to beat.

It seems like a good idea to get Love scoring early. He seems to need touches to get his rhythm going.
With Andy out, it was a good opportunity for him to be aggressive. As others have said, it seems like they were force feeding Andy too much.
He is a great scorer for a Center, but they need to be more creative than pick and roll with Andy every other possession.

Over time the chemistry should keep building and everyone will start to settle into natural roles, making it easier to get into rhythm.
