Well, there’s certainly a few ways to interpret tonight’s early season matchup between the Cavs and Bulls. The obvious is that the Cavaliers (3-5) continued to show their inability to win away from home, as Chicago pulled away late in what was mostly a competitive contest. The final score may show the Cavs lost by 15, but in reality, it was actually a lot closer than that.
More importantly, were the events that transpired during the game, which produced quite a few intriguing storylines moving forward.
The Good:
•BYNUM STARTED! And played well on top of that. 9 minutes into the 1st quarter, he remained the only starter on the floor. 11 points and 6 rebounds – that’s what you call return on your investment. Did anyone have him playing 20 quality minutes this early in November? I submit that you did not. If you missed the start of the game, you missed Bynum scoring the first 4 points of the game, with some solid post moves. Soon thereafter, he made Joakim Noah look unathletic and finished an And-1, to the delight of Cavs fans.
