This team has so many flaws but at the same time it is so much fun lol.

I don't know if I'd say flaws. I would say there are so many interchangeable parts that may not all align properly. If Lue can find the lineups that maximize the offense/defense balance, this team could be unstoppable.

The team is definitely better defensively. It's not even a matter of debate. (Unless PriceFTW uses his magical analytics to pound my ass into oblivion). Spacing is a weakness at least with our current starting lineup, but I believe that can be addressed once the team becomes whole and gains cohesion.
 
Also, I don't see why Channing Frye can't play against a team like this when they have certain lineups out there. I get that you want the new guys to get chemistry, but Channing was a weapon last year all the way up to the ECF when the level of play reached a point where he was no longer able.

We're shooting 60% as many as last year. Is he gonna start taking ten more a night?

What game you watching?
 
We pretty much have the pieces, just have to figure out the most effective lineups
 
Jeff Green doing the best job on Giannis out of anyone else on the team. Wow. And playing within his limits offensively. Nice.

1: Lue doesnt get enough credit. The Cavs are running some absolutely BEAUTIFUL stuff out there right now. Lue knows his offensive X's and O's as well as any coach in this league. Some great great great sets.

2: Those sets are getting executed regularly. It's like not having a PG to pound the ball every other possession opens up opportunities for your offense to flow.

3: Solid adjustments from last game. Still think swapping JR and Wade would be good for the team, good for JR's rhythm, and good for Wade's ability to play his own game. We'll see how long that lasts.
 
I don't remember the last time when I saw a good 3rd quarter from the Cavs.

Good job recognizing our strengths and threats and taking advantage. Kyle Korver hit 2 threes in a row and their defense went absolutely bonkers. Every possession became catch Kyle and it threw their rotations to hell. Creating chances for Korver and others.

On defense, Kyle is hustling like a madman.
If we can keep building our chemistry, and play to our strengths and the right matchups, we have an immense amount of weapons to employ.
 
Balanced play
Defense looks great
Running plays

And they didn't get flustered when the bucks tried to play their game.

Good things happen with wade and rose on the bench.

This lineup with Rose is great, but Rose also had a great first half. Not sure the lull we started the third quarter with is on him. Nice to be able to tinker though and settle on a killer lineup in the rest of the third.

This stretch with LeBron on the bench will be huge
