Game 51 | Cavaliers (35-15) @ Pacers (29-22) | February 8, 2017 | 7:00 PM

Korver 8/9 from three; everybody else was 8/27.

Kyrie couldn't hit a three, but he and Bron were 20/31 from INSIDE the arc.

Cavs protected the ball, too: 24 assists to 9 TOs.

I'm very happy about this win - felt like that building was our kryptonite.

But I am prompted to ask: has the team just said, "Fuck defense - let's just outscore everyone"? Got to get back to something that looks like playoff basketball at SOME point, no?

I think the league in general has said fuck defense. PPG is sky high this year for all teams outside of Utah and SA.

Great game for Kyle! Happy to see him succeed.

Two solid wins against teams that always play the Cavaliers hard. Tale of two halves, boy, was that second half fun to watch.

The Cavs hit 62% from the field in the second half and it was welcomed to see Korver get his Cleveland high of 29. If he can become consistent like that, which I fully expect, this team is going to be so much better.

Korver coming off the bench is going to be so deadly when Smith is back in the starting lineup with his shot. The bench scored 50 points tonight. I can realistically expect 35-40 points from the bench when everyone is fully healthy.

Onto the next one.

Lue said he's considering sitting all of them, but he hasn't decided yet. OKC's money line is at -250 so if you want free money get on that before it's confirmed they're sitting

Big 3 is playing tonight, so is Derrick Williams according to Coach Lue.

Lol Lue might care about the regular season more than the nerds do

I already said, I'm glad Kyle is improving, albeit it seems like it's mostly against the weakest defenses in the league. (Pacers are 21st in opponent ppg)
Hope he continues being a factor.
