1. Biyombo's screens. The dude sets solid picks and really clears space for his perimeter people. Has he been called for an illegal screen all year? Amir set solid screens all the time and it's a small thing that can make a big difference.
3. Cleveland's big men. Is Mozgov really that much of a difference maker? I haven't seen much of the Lebrons this year but they look shaky up front. Love looks so good offensively out there but he also give so much back on the other end. I wonder if Lebron wishes they had Wiggins?
2. Cavs IMO would match up better with GSW's small ball lineup if they had Wiggins.Mamba Mentality

With players salaries, air and hotels for the road, practice facilities , weight rooms, the d league team and the running of the ACC it's not an inexpensive venture.
While you watch expenses the 4M would be a rounding error to MLSE.
Think Dwane is here because they want him here.
These are the same guys who were happy to take on a 35$M dollar contract for a guy , Nathan Horton, who will never play a game for them for cap relief on the hockey side.There's no such thing as a 2nd round bust.

He knows he will be outcoached and exposed int he playoffs, so injuries/fatigue to guys like Carroll and Lowry will be his excuse for poor playoff performances. its his plan for extension.

Lowry, who can lead the league in drawn charges, is now leading the league in spg.

2. Pick and roll defense. The defense hasn't changed all that much but man, some subtle changes to the pick and roll defense have been very effective.
3. ATO plays. Some really good stuff out of timeouts. Casey has some good ATO sets but rarely uses them and I thought they did a good job last night getting some clean shots.
Little things I saw and didn't like:
1. Ross gets caught on a lot of screens. A lot. Like all of them. Even bad ones.
2. Forgetting about Scola. The offense was humming so it's not a big deal but Scola can be a more consistent part of the offense, especially when he's en fuego.
3. Cleveland's big men. Is Mozgov really that much of a difference maker? I haven't seen much of the Lebrons this year but they look shaky up front. Love looks so good offensively out there but he also give so much back on the other end. I wonder if Lebron wishes they had Wiggins?I relish negativity and disappointment. It is not healthy. Somebody buy me a pony.

But other than Ross this was a very good win and was fun to watch. Cleveland is very injured but you have to take the wins when you can get them.I relish negativity and disappointment. It is not healthy. Somebody buy me a pony.

Love is an awful defender. He can't guard Scola lol. Scola is eating him alive.
Anyway... Cavs are soft. They really are. How many and-1s did we get last night???

You trade a dynamic 2-way stud wing player on a rookie contract (Wiggins) for an always injured 1-way PF (Love) on a max contract and then sign another one-dimensional PF (Thompson) as a backup at close to the max. And Love doesn't even fit on the Cavs once Kyrie gets back. Kyrie-Wiggins-LBJ-TT is so much better all-around than Kyrie-JR-LBJ-Love. And Wiggins can guard 3 positions, whereas Love can't even guard his shadow.
Lebron-Wiggins would have been the closest thing to Jordan-Pippen, but LBJ totally effed that up, thankfully for the eastern conference.
