Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
Dellavedova had the highest plus/minus in the entire game.

Guess I'll ease up on Blatt's personnel decisions.

:lupe:


Dellavedova keeps the ball moving, once it gets to Dion the record stops and he dribbles before making his decision.


Waiters is destined to come off the bench, with the success Manu, Crawford and Jr Smith have had doing it you'd think he'd realize it's for the best.

I'm seeing constantly that Dion is not where he needs to be in the offensive sets. He doesn't have the offense down. Which I can understand.

Blatt grew an affinity to the cats that played for him in summer league because they picked up his sets quickly. That's why he coveted Wiggins so much.

He trusts Cherry.

I'd hold off on moving Waiters to the bench until 20 games in. If he doesn't hold his weight they will just sit him.

We will be fine. It's a process and LeBron understands that. His play is puzzling but he clearly hasn't turned it on yet this season, for whatever reason.

I was waiting to hear what he had to say after the game and it makes more sense now.

Kyrie, Dion, and even Tristan at some points revert back into what they know about NBA level basketball. Which is when I get the ball I have to make something happen one on one.

Tristan snapped out of it in the 2nd half while Kyrie continued to over dribble and Waiters was forcing shots and not trusting the offense.

Marion and Miller have not been involved in the offense unless it comes from LeBron or Love.

Theyve got obvious chemistry issues that need to be addressed and they've got to buy into the coaching staff.

I wouldn't mind shipping Dion's ass out of here.

:dahell: There's really no reason to ship him out, he's on a favorable contract, he improved his spot up shooting and he's been decent on defense...plus the season just started. Kyrie has been much worse so far.

I don't think that's necessary just yet. I think cats forget how young they are.

Kyrie and Dion are 22 years old. Have played under 3 different head coaches, 3 different philosophies....where they weren't held accountable on or off the court.

Dion admitted that he never watched film on his own until a couple of weeks ago.

:mindblown:

He thinks he is a Pick N Roll guard. That he's best suited for it. When the stats show he really could be a great catch and shoot player. He was 32nd in the league last year in catch and shoot 3s in the league.

He doesn't play defense consistently when he's not getting his way.

Their issues are all mental and all habits.

They will break them in time.

I agree Kyrie has been worse but we can't get rid of his contract.

And who would we trade him for? I keep seeing Hibbert brought up who would fit with the current incarnation of the team but once the team starts to gel a lumbering, unathletic center is the last thing we'll need. Dion is fine where he is.

They are not trading anyone. It's 3 games into the season.
