Cavs have been outscored 73-35 since the end of the first quarter. That's how that blowout home loss against the Hawks played out for them too.
Looking at the game January 7th Rockets @ Cavaliers make me feel good at our chances the way they have been playing lately.
They have nobody, including Lebron who has greatly slipped on that end, who plays defense at an above average level. Impossible to win in the NBA like that.
This is similar to the Rudy Gay trade for the Raps. Releasing Josh Smith is one of the purest examples of addition by subtraction, they've blown out Pacers and Cavs already.
When teams shoot 17-31 on threes, it's usually because the other team isn't even contesting them. That was the case today. Cavs weren't trying. They embarrassed themselves.
Apparnetly he just found out its less physically taxing to pass and move the ball rather than noodle-leg his way up the court and jack up contested jumpers
If Durant can't make it back soon, I don't think Westbrook can lead this team like Durant led the Thunder by himself. He has crazy talent but is wild as hell.
