Looks like they rested the cavs starters. Pavs had a decent game, but the rookies playing with graham Jones and Pollard get spanked. I only caught the last half of the fourth, but Graham struggled made a lot of mistakes. Gibson went to the rim three times and got called for the offensive, brown had a couple same thing.

cavs shot 45 % toronto 47% Cavs out rebounded, but had 21 turnovers.

looks like Hughes, James, Gooden, and Z rested..

A link to a much better description of the game. gooden did play and caried a double double. Looks like Z, Hughes and James sat out.

Can't tell too much from this game with LeBron, Hughes and Marshall all sitting out.
I don't understand why the NBA schedules back to back games in the preseason. That seems completely idiotic.

It would have been nice if Brown and Gibson would have gotten similar minutes against the Israeli team that they got tonight. It would have given us a chance to see them play since it doesn't look like they'll get many minutes for most of this season.

I still wish the 2 rookie G's would be given at least some time this preseason on the floor with the starters or main rotation players. Not sure if it helps them only playing with end of the bench players.

True that.

The rookies playing against other bench players doesn't really help us to see if they could contribute.

For one, Gibson or Brown wouldn't have to worry about creating a shot for the most part with Lebron and Z spacing the floor.

We'll see, I hope Mike Brown tries out a few new things and is open minded but we'll see.
