They have zero shot creators, so you can basically guard every ball handler straight up - which is the Raps strength. Cavs will look a lot like Kevin Love's T-Wolves of 5 years ago, but with a less athletic Kevin Love.

LJ2 wrote: View PostAny word from Nurse if JV will be starting or not. I'm really curious if JV is getting moved to the bench because I remember Nurse saying something along the lines of them having to get JV more involved on offence...does that mean he's going to be the primary source of O, with the second unit? And Serge as the starting C....errrrr
Still have to give Nurse the benefit of the doubt for now and I really do like the versatility of mixing and matching lineups.....but JV should be your starting C for the vast majority of games. What Serge gives you over him is vastly outweighed by his deficiencies imo. I guess we'll see how it plays out

LJ2 wrote: View PostI sort of presumed Nurse would be looking at swapping guys out at PF and whichever wing position Kawhi isn't listed as, but not at C. It's a pretty big difference in what you get between JV and Serge at that position.
If the guys rotating in and out are only Ibaka and Green, that would be ideal, or barring that, Ibaka, OG and Green, I'd be pretty happy. But I don't think we should expect that right away.

DanH wrote: View PostNurse has been steadfast that he will change starting units from game to game and even half to half, especially early in the year. JV will definitely be starting some games and halves, and definitely coming off the bench for other games and halves. We won't know for a while what proportion of halves he'll be starting versus coming off the bench.

Been waiting to see this from JV for a while. He screwed up on D a couple of times, but mostly just played big. That's what you want from your big men. His passing game was on display too. Pinpoint. Great game. Hope he gets a chance to continue under Nurse.

If they were a junior High team maybe. These guys dont need a father figure as a coach at this point.

It's a testament to his team-first mentality that you never heard him complain about his narrowly-defined role.
