Cavaliers 2024- 2025 season

One game down, so happy Bickerstaff is gone. Looked very impressive .

I think JB gets coach of the year. he will get them twice the wins they had last year, my guess.
but glad he's gone too.

Damn. Opening with a 30-burger win is noice!

 

[jaydog]

Damn!!
We had good offense complimented by good defense for the easy road win. Mobley looked intense as well as that new guy Jerome. Between him Levert and Niang, the bench looked solid and played healthy minutes.

Toronto isn't as strong as they had been in the past but it looks like Atkinson has a plan for how this team wins games.

the tempo is reminding me of when Rubio was point guard during that magical season I never understood why JB went away from that.

Darius Garland "How do you like Me now" ?

 

[OconRecon]

4-0 baby

They look really good. Even Garland. Defense too. Good coaching goes a long way.

I'm liking what I see thus far... The rotation and the ball movement seems more fluid and coordinated.. Mobley is playing his ass off... I'm seeing less desperation from Garland... Even Mitchell appears to have stepped it up a couple of levels... Good stuff..

Mobley was killin' 'em late last night. Try as they did, the piss poor refs couldn't get the Lakers back in the game.

Was lucky to watch the game on Lakers channel. nothing but glowing praise for our Cavs as they put it on them Lakers. saying how the east has to watch out for these hungry Cavs. when you go up 19 in the 1st makes for a good cushion when you just trade baskets the rest of the game, but hard to do.
Mo getting 24 in 19 minutes of work. Allen flowing along with 20 & 17 boards. my biggest beef with JB was his short bench even when we were healthy. Kenny seems to love his bench. making me happy here. lets hope it improves our health when May rolls around.

Just now watched the highlights below as I missed it last night. Didn't realize what a dominant win it was from nearly the start.

We have never had a team like this coming out the gate. or ever period. the way they are doing this 40- 50 points off the bench.
it all seems so smooth. the other teams are like trying to catch us as we are out to the lead on the court.
I want the playoffs to start Monday. but we got the Bucks.

Speaking of
This whole Damian Lillard thing has screwed up not only the Bucks but the Heat too. the Heat cleaned out players Max Strus & Gabe Vincent at least to make room, thinking they would pull off the trade only to lose him to the Bucks.

That was a physical, hard fought game last night. The Magic tried to beat us up and couldn't. Same with the Nicks, but Garland making his shots has been YUGE!! Along with LeVert and this guy Jerome chips in with 9 points, 2 assists, 2 steals and 6 rebounds in 21 minutes.

Bring on the Bucks on a back to back in their house! We'll see how much energy we have left after last night.

 

[madmadworld]

note to self:
never say anything about Damian Lillard before a game.

 

[jaydog]

Right!
That guy was carrying the whole team for them.
Now we have two back to back physical games that we've won against two playoff teams. This is shaping up to be a great season.
