[Dr No]

Watched it late. Great end to 3rd and 4th. Detroit sucks, but winning by almost 30 without DM or DG is still impressive.

I wasn't impressed tonight. Took care of business. Detroit is so young. Should beat them by 20.

No Darius
No Donovan

But we had JBB….. And that’s all that mattered…They had no answers for his game plan…

I guess we'll see Love tonight?

This didnt age at all, but i would have thought maybe.

Pretty much the same.
Jarrett Allen masterclass for most of this game. Ditto for Raul Neto, a pickup I've always liked.
This might have been a 40+ point win if there weren't so many unnecessary 3-ball attempts outside of the offense.
The Cavs handling business against a short handed team with themselves short handed is the outcome I like to see.

What a diffeerence he makes over Pangos alone. Neto comes in a gives us something, best 3rd/4th pg in the league....would love to keep him but he only signed a 1 year 2.5 mill contract. We have his non bird rights, so 20% increase is 2 year 6.6 mill or so. I would love if he took that, do you think he would? That would be 31 and 32 years old for him, solid, solid vet, take up none of our MLE either to do it...assumig we dont try and get under the cap which i cant imagine we do.

How much glue did you sniff as a child?

Neto deserves minutes at least 5 to 8 minutes tbh the combo should be garland with Rubio and Mitchell with neto

Neto should get mins most every game. He is capable and helps keep mins down for garland and Don

When is someone in the media going to ask JBB about Love’s non usage?

I’m happy we didn’t. Either he’s still rehabbing or he’s completely out of the lineup. Regardless of which it is, that’s better for the team and showing in the results. Mainly because I feel like just effort and energy from the opposing team negates anything useful Love is able to do on the floor for us. Dean is a much better sub if he’s not hitting shots.

JB....Last night after the game. "Is he being held out because of injury?" Answer--no.

I missed his post-game comments. Thanks. However, doesn’t address the ongoing situation.

 

[PIP]

Just out of the rotation… Wade is more effective, he’s also healing a hand injury…

He’s on Udonis Haslem mode

 

[The Oi]

Dwane Casey with great complimentary comments on the Cavs. He called our game a playoff-level performance.

Commented on Cavs physicality. This has been a pattern since the Memphis game.

And we have a repeat appearance from a Cav on the NBA's top 10 plays from last night's victory. Who was good enough to show up 2 games in a row?
