    I wish we could trade someone for Kyle Korver.

    McHale subbed in Harden for Brewer. And Brewer had just played 10 straight minutes. McHale then subbed Brewer back in after two minutes of rest.

    Kyrie unstoppable for 3 quarters shutdown by Ariza in the 4th

    Harden looked terrible for 3.5 quarters look at the box score MVP numbers.

    Dwight looked uninterested for 3 quarters looked like Orlando Dwight in the 4th

    Smith was consistently good for the whole game, Chucked a 3 in the end

    The Bench (Smith, Brewer, Terry) was so good when Dwight and Harden weren't very good they kept the game close.

    Mchales rotations are literally r****ded sometimes. The subs he makes makes me so mad sometimes.

    I would also like to see brewer play a little more.

    Like at the end I would have taken terry out for harden instead of brewer.

    Atlanta is on a roll with great team chemistry. Why would they trade him?

    Also the bench (SMith, Terry and Brewer) with Ariza and Dwight got a lead and kept with Harden on the bench for a large majority of the 4th. Which allowed Harden to come in and secure the game with fresh legs.

    Based on ESPN's post game show you wouldn't be able to tell who the Cavs played tonight. They completely ignore the fact Houston won. And did I hear Jalen say Smith had 0 blocks tonight? His monster block on Kyrie was a game-changing play. Just absurd commentary

    Yeah, very happy to see Harden get out of there with only 33 minutes played. Has looked pretty tired recently.

    It's funny you say that when Mchale's Rotations were really solid this game.

    Mchale took out brewer because Harden was going to play the PG while Jet played the SG. Ariza guarded Kyrie to a stand still and Terry got a 3 the moment Harden checked in.

    Jalen downplayed Smith's game because he is a Detroit Homer, but he was talking about Love when he was talking about the blocks.

    Good win tonight. Closer than it should have been but pulled away when it counted.

    There were things to be happy about, but overall there is still cause for concern. Bev is stinking up the joint. Ariza was awful from the field again aside from a brief hot streak in the first half. Dwight was invisible for 3 quarters(he was great in the 4th though). The foul shooting continues to suck. And McHale still refuses to give meaningful minutes to Papa or virtually any minutes to Canaan.

    And let's not forget that they beat an average Cavs team that's missing LeBron, is going through a lot of player turnover at the moment, and got a bad performance from Love. If they can build on this and put an end to this win one, lose one(or win two, lose two) routine they've been stuck on since Dwight's return, then I'll feel more confident.

    Great bounce back win! The bench is becoming an asset, still need to see Shved play. I wish Murphy could help out the bigs improve their fts.
