NBA Game Action: 10/30/2014

Maybe the drastic weight loss isn't working out?

I think the offense needs to run through Lebron like Miami finally learned to do. This taking turn approach isn't going to work.

Cavs will go through the same phases as MIami if they dont' learn that.

 

The Knicks move the ball like I've never seen them move it before. Fisher?

 

Triangle Offense

 

They're not running the triangle offense. Cavs just out of sync, which makes the Knicks look good.

 

Lebron James is playing like Jeremy Lin.

 

Even Jeremy Lin didn't have 7 turnovers combined thus far (has he?).
LeBron and the Cavs need to play defense and score off the fast break.
That crazy closeout defense that we saw in Miami is just not there.

 

Jeremy Lin IS offended!

 

This is the Cavs team that Chicago is supposed to fear?

 

Why is Melo wearing a wife beater?

 

You know maybe it's a great thing we didn't stack the starting lineup.
Bench might be a lot more important than we thought.

 

Solid W for my Wolves! Early to say, but I think they may be a sneaky team to contend for the 8th seed. Through the off-season we only lost Love, and while I think he's awesome a lot of people consider him to be a stat guy that "doesn't actually make his team better." Meanwhile Wolves added a bunch of young talent and depth. The bench is WAY better this year also (bench play was one of the biggest factors for the Wolves shortcomings last year IMO) and it's possible that Rubio or Pekovic could have a breakout year. Thad Young has very solid thus far also.

Not saying anything is for sure this year, but I don't see any reason why the Wolves can't be as good as they were last season.

 

Cavs d looks like swiss cheese tbh.

 

Fisher is already a better timeout manager than McHale

 

C'mon. The Cavs are still stacked. A slow start was predictable, and it's not even like they are getting blown out. Give it time.

 

Too much help defense from the Cavs. Can't help off shooters like that. Harden, Lin, and Parsons got torched like every game because they just stood pretty much one inch out of the paint and stayed there.

 

I only started watching the 4th. How often do I root for the Knicks especially with Fisher as the HC? Man on man.

 

rockets bench is quite bad, so it did stack the starting lineup relatively

 

JR gonna JR
