I was unimpressed with Blatt. He's got some talent on that bench- Tristan Thompson, Mike Miller, Shawn Marion. What the hell was Shawn Marion doing barely playing in this game? If you've got a player like Marion he has to get more than 10 mins of burn. He does a lot to help you win ballgames even though he's over the hill scoring wise.

That's the downfall of the nba....relying on the stars to bail you out. I'm glad we're not going down that route anymore.

Fish and the Knicks had a say in who the CAVS played off the bench too. When we executed it forced their hand cuz the bench guys weren't stopping us. A lot of this season is gonna be about our bench executing. Tonight the did as coached and it made a difference.

It all starts with Cole immediately push passing it on the run into the paint over to Pablo. That is pretty unusual for most bigs and probably something I wouldn't expect from anyone else from our frontline except Wear.

Plus Acy had to shoot the ball immediately to make that work and he did.

Very good sequence.

Cole is thinking out there. It makes me want to see him more.

Cole and Wear and Acy. Those are our most dynamic frontline players.

Who would have predicted that?

You are so effing pathetic it's not funny or your just a baiting douche (to borrow a phrase) troll.

Our most dynamic front line players?

yea.. tonight we did it right. (Not to call JR a star, but he *is* our 2nd best player) Literally get the whole team involved and fighting, then let your star(s) hit the big shots down the stretch. Everyone got into it and played the right way.

Yeah but we don't have any talent Fishmike! Listen to the experts here and we shouldn't have a chance in any game this year. Those experts said trash the triangle, Larkin is garbage, Melo will never pass the ball, Acy is a bum, Jason is a bum, Shump is trash yadda yadda yadda!

It was a sweet TEAM win. This was exactly what the New Culture they're developing is all about. The way they were able to execute down the stretch was beautiful!!! That's what we've been dying to see from this team. They still have a long way to go but it was great to see.

What kills me is all the former players saying it's not the Triangle or that we don't have the talent to make it work. They say we need 2-3 stars etc. What they miss is that it's an old system that kids play with no stars. It's designed to help ALL your players perform better as well as your most talented players. But your players have to trust it. Last night this team stuck together and trusted each other and the system.

Perspective.

1-1 opening with all these changes and players vs. the Bulls and Cavs is a good start.

Why any idiot who thinks 25 points on 17 shots, routinely dropping buckets over the best player on the planet and 6 assists isn't dynamic would predict that.
