Cleveland Cavs (2016 NBA Champions)

They have more confidence than I ever imagined they'd play with this year. Watching the other teams get frustrated by their size is awesome. Then they bomb the threes and it seems unfair when they're rolling. I want to see them against GS at full strength

I hate when they search and settle for 3's when they can dominate in the paint with those bigs.

Of course I've watched Cedi miss two layups tonight and no one seems to be able to make a bucket on the And-1 opportunities so maybe thats why.

I officially love this team. If they keep them together and get a real point guard, they could win a championship in a year or two. Rubio is fantastic coming off the bench but trying to do too much as "the guy". Garland has become a serious scoring threat and the bigs are a lot of fun to watch. Sexton would really help right now

The wizards of smart had Sexton as the odd man out even before this season. He was expected to be trade bait mid-season. A ball-dominant scorer has a place and time, but some games it doesn't work & if you're truly trying to build a winning team culture then a guy like him can be detrimental. Obviously he won't be dealt now, but I have some doubts that Sexton's future is actually in Cleveland.

Defensive minded point guard would be ideal in my opinion. Drive and dish and lock down the other end.

Kevin Love shooting the lights out tonight. Every night it's a different player leading the scoring for this team.

It has to make it hard on teams we play. How do you game plan when you don't know who you have to stop? Even if you hold the starters in check you can have Love and Rubio coming off the bench for 20+ any given night. Love didn't even score till the second half yesterday.

Cavs playing favored by duble digits tonight. When was the last time that was the case? I'm guessing at least 2019 but I can't find the stat on it yet.

Opening a can on the Rockets right out of the gate.

ahhhhhhhh OMG what a 5 second series by Rubio!! Scored with 4 seconds left then picks the pocket of the inbounds pass makes a behind-the-back pass to Davis for a layup at the buzzer. That was awesome. :banger:
