I don't really have too much to say other than its great to demolish a team for once. I feel we've had so many close games this season, win or lose, and we've only had 2 or 3 thumpings of other teams.

JR is gonna un-retire after Cedi passes him on the made 3 pointers list.

Jarret Allen isn’t winning you anything. Garland won’t show up in the playoffs. Mobley is a glorified dunk man. Mitchell has some experience but is a liability on defense. To me, the Cavs are a treadmill team.

I think between this and the Houston game, it’s a sign that we’re starting to take every team seriously for once. And I think that’s a a great thing. It’s been a serious problem for us all season. I’ve said before that I think Cleveland now has the impression that they’re one of the best teams so they don’t take the lower tier ones as seriously. That simply cannot happen. It bolds well for us in our chances to gain good playoff seeding, as our opponents for the second half of the season will be a lot easier than what we had in the first.

I couldn't watch yesterday, but caught the game on the radio. This Jeddy guy sounds like he might be able to fill our SF needs?!
Well at least we're not Detroit!

Cedi has started all of 3 games the past two seasons. He, Caris, and Dean have all shown enough to warrant a longer look with the starters.

It reminds me a bit of Mike Brown's attitude of wanting to start out with a defensive / rebounding lineup that at best would only tread water until we brought in shooters, spaced the floor, and beat up on second units.

A lot of ppl after this game are now complaining that Cedi isn't getting enough minutes. Have they watched his past like 10 games?

When he is on, he is on, but he is incredibly inconsistent and occasionally invisible. He was a guy that used to fire off the move, but now seems to be set shots only. We just need to judge average Cedi and not 100% from 3 Cedi or 0% from from 3 Cedi.

Sasha inspite of his "my offense is my defense" quip early in his career, was a really good perimeter defender for us at SG in combination with Hughes and James and their respective length at PG and SF when those guys eventually embraced "5 men on a string".

I just would never expect Cedi (or Sasha) to be able to guard the best wing on the other team, and that's pretty much the job description with the Garland-Mitchell back-court.

Yo, I didn't realize Sasha could actually hit 3s at a decent clip.

Yep, he had his moments, but didn't shoot with much volume. Pretty much had his career year in '06/'07 when we went to the finals and then proceeded to fall off a cliff the next season, went down to a foot injury, etc.
