Preseason game 4 bulls @ cavs

[tocov]

I've been one of Love's supporters on this forum. I think he's great.
That is exactly the reason I don't want him to be diminished to a Channing Frye role where all he does is stand beyond the arch and get demolished on defense.

The obvious issue is the LeBron/Wade love affair. They are trying to play with each other again, and it stagnates ball movement to our other players.

That worked in Miami. They were the only two that scored and every now and then they'd throw one to Bosh. The rest of the team just played defense.

Here, we have too good of a supporting cast for that.

I agree with the group of you that wants JR out there. Honestly, if Wade is gonna start, he needs to be doing it at point guard. LeBron slows Rose down anyway.

Bring Rose in fresh with the 2nd unit. It'll prepare him for his role when Isaiah comes back.

Lebron is out of sync i wouldn't base this one pre season game that Lebron is coming back from injury from against 4 years those 2 played with each other. Wade is older but he did average 18 4 and 4 last year without easy looks Lebron and co provides.

Cant forget that Love being 0-9 and getting pounded on D is hurting the team atm as well. Im less worried about the LeBron/Wade love affair than I am Love at the 5. Also JR has been trash as well. The bright spots so far are Jeff, Rose, TT. Like i said though its one half of the first REAL pre-season game. I wouldnt make any big takeaways yet.

We really let the dude on the ground get the rebound

Cavs finally about to wake up.

For all of the complaining about how about the feel of the starting unit is right now....Love, Crowder and Wade are 1 for 15 and we are now tied.

That is crazy that 3 of our starters are 1 for 15, 2 of them all stars and another near all star and we are tied.

Crazy deep team.

From the corner, Rose has a pure stroke. From straight away or the wing that stroke has a little hitch.

It's juuuuuust far enough that it's not natural from the backcourt.

That's fine. If he can hit the corner three, that'll be big this year.

A dude laying on the fucking floor takes an offensive rebound lol

Crowder movement off the ball is so nice, we just need to find him

 

[bboy]

Lebron going at half speed...but the starters starting to get it together...

I’m liking determined rose. He’s gonna be disappointed when no one offers him big money in the offseason but I’ll gladly take him another year.

Who is the female commentator? She's great.

 

[Walter White]

Rose is playing excellent.

Not much of a height difference when IT gets a rebound.

If he stays healthy this year, someone will pay him $13-15 million.

You can tell guys like Rose and Green are hungry. I'd even say TT/JR seem to be playing with an edge off the bench.

Wade just has to figure out his role....once he does look out. LeBron has to adjust to being without the ball for the betterment of guys like Rose/Wade.

In a weird way I think LeBron can trust Rose to get others involved or make the extra pass more than Kyrie. Not that Kyrie needed to because he was a scoring machine.
