It sounds like you're overreacting to one good game from Dunleavy, and I'm sure who that's an indictment of.

Actually no, my post was very understated and not reactionary in nature at all. "It will be interesting to see it all plays out" is overreacting, TIL.

Not really certain why your dickish post was necessary.

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

This. We brought him in for his scoring ability, as well as his defensive game. We were never going to draw up plays for Dunleavy but we expected his defensive effort would keep him on the court. When it was apparent he wasn't going to contribute on that end as much as we had hoped, we focused on finding someone that could. It's not like Liggins started receiving more minutes b/c he was better than Dunleavy...he just performed better in his defensively-defined role.

Korver appears to be better than anticipated defensively and LOOKS (eye-test) like he has much more left in the tank than Dunleavy did. Just watching him move off-the-ball is exhausting.

We are better than these knee jerk reactions to two games. Cool Dunleavy had 20 points and Korver only had 18...

I like Dunleavy and think he would have gotten better with time: the problem with the Cavs is that he's a better shooter off the dribble rather then catch and shoot. Plus at this stage of his career he's not going to break defenses down consistently with the ball in his hands

Korver is the exact opposite: moves like crazy off the ball and is deadly off the catch and shoot. Just a better fit next to the big 3.

Now if we can only get one more guy who can create offense on his we'd be set: I forgot how much Korver always good +/- numbers are due to his constant motion on offense. Really wears down defenses
 
Dunleavey had also started to play reasonably well on offense for us in limited minutes -- after looking really bad to start the season, he was shooting 50% from 3 over the month of December and had good games in extended minutes against e.g. Memphis and Brooklyn. I still think Korver is better but not sure we gave Dunleavey much of a chance.
 
All I know is that Klay and curry will get shot up by all the screens korver will make them go through, which will only wear them down and/or give us plenty opportunities to score.

Also, F Livingston, wanan see him get gassed too.
 
Lol Why am I getting a disagree? no one understands sarcasm here?!?! Clevelanders only speak truth.
 
I'm down with Mike D. and it ain't no baloney
For real, not phony "O.E." and Rice-a-Roni
