2017-18 NBA Season

19 minutes and 16 points tonight for IT. When he is fully back watch for a very long Cavs winning streak where they overtake Boston and Toronto

maybe if the cavs keep him coming off the bench playing against 2nd stringers.  that isn't going to happen though.  he is going to start.  I think his impact is going to be smaller when he is starting.

Right, because IT scored all his points versus bench scrubs last year.

lol that wasn't what I meant.  The C's didn't have Lebron last year, so that might have just a smidge impact on his usage / shot attempts.  Then again, maybe I am crazy?

Cavs bench is much better than ours. Reality.

On the second night of a back to back, no less.

Cavs bench is much better than ours. Reality.

2nd that. But that was true even before GH went down.

[Rondo9]

Cavs bench is much better than ours. Reality.

That's before or after Isaiah moves to the starting lineup?

Cavs bench is much better than ours. Reality.

It certainly looks like it.  Good jeff green, amped IT, rested D Wade, T Thompson slamming the boards.  Do we have a decent counter for those guys?  IT will be starting so he wont be coming off the bench.

JGreen - Morris
Calderon - Rozier
Wade - Smart
T Thompson - Baynes / Theis

We match up better with the Cavs versus last years squad.   Our team just needs to start to gel a bit more, and get over the hump with these nagging injuries.

I think we match up ok with the Cavs except for Lebron.

Just curious...who on the Cavs defends Kyrie?

Right, because IT scored all his points versus bench scrubs last year.

Kyrie led Cleveland in usage% last year. I am sure Lebron would give plenty of on the ball time to IT to get his 25+ PPG and 6APG. He did for Kyrie.

Ok, just stop it with your logic and common sense. 

In my mind what I was comparing was IT shots per game with us last year, and what he might get this year.  Is IT going to average 19 shots a game with Lebron and Love?  Maybe, but maybe not.

I don't think he should - Kevin Love has been fantastic for them so far this season. Easily the most comfortable he's looked in Cleveland, I think you have to keep him involved offensively which should mean less shots for IT. Will that happen? Idk.

Right back at ya.  IT shot lights out tonight.  Let's see if he can get his mobility back to almost 100% before the playoffs, who knows how bad that hip really is?

Cue the overreactions. They're playing the god dang Blazers for crying out loud

The #7 seeded Blazers.

Sure, but the Cavs were at home, hadn't played since Saturday, and the Blazers were on the second night of a back-to-back and that game went to OT.
