Cavs have how many top draft choices the past four years and they still can not play .500 ball.Imagine that team if they had picked Barnes or Drummond instead of Waiters.
One would think Celtics should win this, but I really don't feel all that confident about it.
i guess bynum is out, that will help our odds. I think Irving will have his usual vs celtics performance.
Celtics by 7

I swear.......Sully has put the 10 pounds back on this holiday week.......gee...whiz
7 bounces on that Green and 1. That was pretty dang cool
Stevens ain't responsible for Cavs problems :P
Hats off to anyone who watches this game to the end. My God, the Cavs are atrocious. I'm switching to Villanova Syracuse, then heading out to Amherst for UMass vs. Providence.

Really? Cavs are terrible since the LeBroid days.
But the Celtics are an entertaining team, they try to play the right way, they fight and they share the ball.

Extremely entertaining. But the league is a joke this year. College basketball far more entertaining, I don't get pumped up to watch a 12-17 team versus a 10-18 team. Sorry.
Is it just me, but does KO look like a complete bust?

C's have not been the same since KO return from ankle injury. No chemistry and he ....can't play.
I am shocked by how bad Cleveland's offense is. Do they even have a coach? It's a wonder they have won any games this year. There seems to be no thought at all to what they are doing. It's just 1 vs 5 on every play. Insane.I see how they randomly win games... Sometimes while playing 1 vs 5, the 1 guy goes off.
Bradley could always play defense. So far Olynyk hasn't showed that he can excel at something.C's have not been the same since KO return from ankle injury. No chemistry and he ....can't play.

Get 19 point lead and start experimenting with line ups instead of putting game away.

Are you kidding me, Jordan? Are you kidding me?!!I look forward to him being on the bench during crunch time upon Rondo's return.

wow.. Cleveland's coach is a joke. I can't believe some of the decisions they have made this game... and their offense is complete garbage. They play hero ball the entire game.Mike Brown is a joke. lebron is the only reason those cavs teams did anything.
Too many bone head plays......Bass zero , then hero.....I think Hump starts before the season is over with...
Bradley had Hump standing alone under the bucket.....geesse........

Meh, I doubt Oly will amount to much more than an end-of-bench player.
Then again, I felt this way about Giddens, Walker, Pruitt, Bradley, Johnson etc.. Only Bradley actually proved me wrong, and he was much younger as a rookie than Oly.
Also, that 'Klynyk' nickname is horrendous, sounds stupid.

When youhave to take 7+ shots a game to score 6+ points a game, I don't care if you are averaging 6+ PPG, that's not a good thing. Its a very very bad thing.
One of the best things I saw in this thread was someone saying Olynyk is playing minutes he hasn't earned. Nothing could be more true. Faverani deserves minutes over Olynyk right now.
Oh, and BTW, there is zero guarantee Olynyk's shots start dropping. His FG% was good at Gonzaga because he played against inferior competition and was 7 feet tall but his three point shooting was never anything to write home about.
He's missing longer three in the NBA at an alarming rate and his inside moves that worked so well against mid major big men isn't working and probably never will work versus NBA big men.

I was at the game and spent some time focusing on KO. Although his shot is not falling, he is doing quite a few other good things out there like setting high picks, cutting to the basket, good passing. If his Fg% was better, no one would be writing this kid off. It is true he's got the rookie awkwardness which we should hope he sheds by next season.When youhave to take 7+ shots a game to score 6+ points a game, I don't care if you are averaging 6+ PPG, that's not a good thing.

I can agree that 7+ shots for 6+ points is a bad thing, but 5 boards in 20 minutes isn't a bad thing. It's not Dennis Rodman, bad it's not a bad thing. He is assisting decently as a PF rookie and shots that he's missing I think will evenutally fall. If not, you'll be proven correct.
He does tend to take a giddyap first step which has caused him some traveling violations and I think some subsequent head problems. His moves are less fluid and natural as a result -- far too thoughtful. This influences his shot as well. I think he feels awkward. Throw the speed of the game and the unforgiving nature of the game at this level and I think you have a rookie who needs to adjust and find a comfort zone. He may never find it, but you are a far keener observer than I if you already know that he won't.
