Back to watching Cavs games! I'm going to keep this brief, here are a few thoughts from the game.
- This game was uglier than the score shows. Cleveland put together one good run, which they promptly lost right away. Anderson Varejao and Tyler Zeller were both out tonight and Golden State's big men took full advantage of that. Hopefully one or both of them will be back by Friday.
- C.J. Miles is really starting to irritate me. I had/still have high hopes for him as a sixth man, but if he keeps throwing up the ball every time it's in his hands, I hope his minutes drop. For the most part his shot selection was bad, here and there he had open shots which he missed as well. It crossed my mind in the second and third quarters that Miles was losing the game. If your shot isn't falling, find other ways to be productive, don't try to shoot out of your slump, the back of your jersey says Miles, not Bryant.
- Kyrie killed it again. He had the flu of some sort, it didn't matter. 29 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists.
- Luke Walton didn't play, I have no problem with that.
- Tristan Thompson had a good stat line, however two thoughts here on TT. First, please stop trying to block everything. David Lee torched you on the offensive end because you tried to block every one of his shots. You need to learn when to go after the ball and when to stay home and play D. Second, watching Thompson try to create a shot from 10-feet away is painful. Keep working on it big guy, I know you have the ability.
- Dion Waiters had a pretty poor day shooting the ball, 5-of-15, but still scored 12. His shot selections looked alright to me, could have made a few better decisions, but all-in-all not bad. Waiters also had five assists, coupled with no turnovers.
- Daniel Gibson shot well from deep; 4-8 from beyond the arc.
So there you have it, a few random thoughts from this game, lets hope for a better result on Friday when the Cavs travel to Phoenix to take on the Suns. My prediction: Cleveland 96, Phoenix 91.
