So Many Second Chances

Tons Of Blocks, Here's One

I hope Kyrie Irving or Dion Waiters is back very soon because the Cavs are becoming unbearable to watch.  Yes, Anderson Varejao is beasting it every game.  However, he doesn’t play an entertaining game.  He plays a very efficient position based game.  Rarely, does Varejao have to move into a different position to score.  On rebounds. he finesses his way to his spot to get a put back or grab the board. 

With all that being said, Vareajo is the Fuck Truck Driver of the night.  Once again, he scored 18 points along with 17 rebounds.  He  looked a little bit behind the whole game though.  The whole Cavs team seemed a little bit tire.  They were pushed around. 

It seemed like the whole team played extra small.  Detroit was able to block us with ease the whole  night.

Why did Detroit win?  I feel like the first Cavs possession of the whole game showed how the night was going to shake out.  The Cavs held the ball for fifty seconds, getting three offensive boards, and did not score.  There were many second possessions for both of the teams during this game; however, Detroit scored on them by kicking out or finishing while the Cavs did not do that.  

It also helped that Detroit blocked a ton of our inside shots.  No one seemed to attempt to go up for a fake tonight.  The closer to the hoop our team got the more they exhibited Tristan Thompson’s offensive abilities. 

Tyler Zeller played serviceable minutes getting eight points and some rebounds.  He was pretty active trying to block even if it wasn’t always successful.

Bottom line, the Cavs were out Cav’ed tonight.  Our hustle on offense was slow and led to lots of easy baskets from being out of position.

A Haiku Summary:

Detroit Can Block

Five-nine, six-six, seven.

Detroit times their ball slapping.

Weak stuff was got out.
