For a sneak peak;
Q: Is it a problem that Dion is 6′ – 4″?

That’s probably about the average among shooting guards if the league average really is 6’7”
Anderson is the best center in the East hands down
9 pts 7 rebs. Decent game. Nope one quarter
Samuels is so bad
Andy is a monster. Gilbert would do good by tearing up his contract and giving him a fair market one next year, especially if the Cavs need to reach the salary cap floor. I understand its a business and all and his job is to maximize profits but I’d rather see Andy get a raise than to pickup an 11th man scrub to reach the salary cap restrictions. That $1 million that went to Harongody or whoever it was in the offseason is a prime example of money that would be served going to a guy like Andy. Plus it would build (rebuild?) some goodwill towards Gilbert that was lost upon Lebron’s departure to see he’d be willing to renegoiate when someone is *grossly* underpaid.
And just as I clicked on ‘submit comment’ on my last post, Andy hits a fallaway jumper from 15-20+ feet out at the 3rd quarter buzzer!!!!! WOW!!!!
I too would like to see Anderson receive a new contract purely out of deserved respect. Will never happen though.
its the problem with the salary cap. you can’t reward good player’s especially in the NBA. rewards the worst players harongody 1million and punishes the best LBJ 14 million
The Cavs are probably the best team in the league at having a lead the whole game and then blowing it at the end.
Yah, Memphis’ defense really clamped down the last 6-7 minutes of the game…what Cavs only had 1-2 buckets? Of course we had no offensive playmakers on the floor who could dribble penetrate, to steal a phrase from AC.
And of course, refs didn’t help at all with their whistles. Trials and tribulations of a young team who doesn’t get the calls. Must say though, Cavs are way more competetive than I (or probably anyone) thought they’d be after Kyrie went down. Combination of Cavs playing hard and other teams grossly underestimating them?
I hope they don’t get discouraged losing so many closing games. The game against Phoenix tomorrow is very winnable.
Boobie really showed some fort tonight
*heart, don’t know how that happened
Is there anyway we can get everyone in south America to vote Andy in the way china used to vote yao in
This is so frustrating. They feel so close yet you look up and see such an awful record. They’ve played so well against a bunch of good teams, on the road, and just can’t hold on to a lead.
