Chisoxfn Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 QUOTE (bmags @ Mar 27, 2017 -> 10:51 AM) So, Mirotic with a nice march again. Not a surprise that Butler is looking fantastic the past couple nights where he has a couple guys who can stretch the court (Niko & Zipser). Zipser isn't even great at it, but it certainly helps. Butler has had 10 or more assists in each of the past three contests for what I believe is the first time in his career. The bench is terrible, but this starting lineup has produced (albeit in a limited sample size). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenksismyhero Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 So are the Cavs going to make it out of the east? They're pretty terrible on defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're pretty terrible on defense. 2nd worst defense in the nba since the all-star break and 22nd overall. LeBron gets the benefit of the doubt as he's made the finals every year since the decision. But this is looking like it's going to be A LOT more difficult than it's been for any of his teams during this run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this is looking like it's going to be A LOT more difficult than it's been for any of his teams during this run. Eh, I don't know. Then Lebron turns into a center fielder roaming the defense and wreaking havoc in passing lanes and blocking shots and suddenly teams can't score. Maybe this is the year he falls off but I'm not betting on it. It's hard, cavs have been working on the art of winning enough in the regular season. Lakers in early 2000s did this but it did eventually catch up to them, when they couldn't turn it on anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Harris looks like he could be a 20 point scorer someday. Jusuf's line since trade: 15.0/10.4/3.3/1.2/1.9 That's in just over 29 MPG. Gary Harris would be a 20 point scorer right now on a lot of teams. It's just that Denver is loaded with scorers, especially at wing/guard.

But agreed in principle that the dude could score, and efficiently. Him and Butler would have been a good combo. Question is I had is would we still have selected those two had we not decided to trade with Denver? Did Denver scouts see something in those guys or was it our scouts?

Yep. And, if I remember right, the Bulls had a shortage of roster spots at that time. I can see the mindset that led to the Bulls making that pick. It obviously backfired terribly, but I get why it happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeping him doesn't make any sense so I'm just going to hope that they actually do the right thing. Wait until about a year from now when Butler requests a trade out of here and then he really has no value at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
