I think we found our new "Bench of Death" simillar to the Delly+Lebron+RJ Combo the last 2 years.. only propably even better..

Lebron,Korver,Frye are a combination that just is totally unguardable..
Lebron and two very good shooters has always been deadly but Lebron + 2 of THE best shooters(one of them even all Time and Frye might end up beeing an All Time great Shooter for a Big) is just absurd..

Korver wont Score 18 or more every Game but once it happens a few times it wont even matter because with him you always have to guard him like he would..

Just brilliant.

And with Lebron having 15 Assists tonight... i really get the Feeling once JR is back and we have our Rotations optimised could easilly average 10+ Assists..

YES! Came here to say just this! The 2nd unit of death is BACK!

Last year it was Delly/LBJ pick&roll and spread the floor. Delly hits LeBron on the roll and that's a wrap.

This year, LeBron will be the PG for that group, and it will feature a Frye/Bron pick&roll, with backdoor-screens-galore for Korver and a couple of plays with no pick for LBJ at all, just Frye and Korver running back-screens/fakes together and as soon as either of them gets a SINGLE step, Bron will hit them between the numbers and they will let it fly. Jefferson and Liggins will stand in the corners for the occasional "nobody is within 10 feet of me so I might as well take this corner three" shot.

Liggins will replace Delly's D at the point of attack. I think this unit has the chance to be just as good defensively and WAY better offensively.

I think he has low testosterone, he has a patchy beard and some other low T characteristics. I would recommend a full LBJ protocol for Kyle in order to prepare himself best for the playoffs. http://www.nba.com/cavaliers/video
Good interview, I think he is going to be one of my favourites players regardless of how he plays.

OMG, I just hope Ashton Kutcher drops 30 on the Warriors, and will keep my eyes glued on Donkey's reaction.

Kings were essentially a playoff team in the West being like 1 game out before last night so...

They also had plenty of good ball movement. Obviously, the talent between the kings and the top teams in the west are night and day, but to dismiss it, is doing a disservice.

This team will only get better by chemistry. Both on offense and defense.

And Korver's defense, like JR's is a little underrated.
I hope he comes back next year, because we might have something REALLy SPECIAL GOING ON.

Just need to continue running those screens, misdirections, and it'll be easier for everyone, including LBJ.
 

We gave up the goat. Should have gave this trade an "F". Wow did ATL get a steal.
 
Lol Atlanta sucks so hard they playing mike d 20 minutes a night
 
He looked more comfortable and confident against the Bucks then he ever did here. Not sure who that's an indictment of, probably no simple answer. But it looks like the Hawks got a reasonable replacement for Korver in the short term with a first round pick to go with it. Hawk fans have to feel good about that. As a Cavs fan, not sure what to feel. I was on record saying that Dunleavy needed to play more, not less. The above video seems to support that.

It will be interesting to watch it all play out.

Seems more like Dunleavy was struggling to fit in with the other players. The reports were that he was quiet and left the locker room ASAP. Chemistry is a big thing with this team and in the NBA in general. TBH I think thats why Love struggled when he first got here. He has had to force himself out of his shell. And why Frye was such an important addition last year he and RJ seem to bring all the guys together.

The majority of the cavs roster is outgoing guys that love to hang out. I don't see that with Dunleavy and that has an effect on fitting in and on court production.

It sounds like you're overreacting to one good game from Dunleavy, and I'm sure who that's an indictment of.
 
People overreacting to one good game :chuckle:
 
Dunleavy was unplayable against the Warriors

He's probably the slowest non center in the league. He would've been abused on defense. Let it go guys
 
I think Fit is extremly important. Mike didnt Fit really here.. Kyle seems to do..

And i am quite happy for Mike if he have a nice rest Season in ATL.
 
You guys understand that the Hawks utilize Mike D, in a way that we do not need him to play.

Many shooters say the hardest thing for a shooter to do is to shoot wide open shots. Even Korver said in that interview that he felt like a rookie all over again.

It will take time, but as long as you have the desire to play defense, and are PROFESSIONAL, you will be successful.

Some nights you may have 10 shots, and some you may have 0. Play within the flow of the game, take what the defense gives you, and everything becomes easy not only for you, but for everyone else.

Personally, I don't think all players fit in the best with LeBron and our system. Dunleavy could have been one of those guys.
