Game Day: Cavs (19-9) @ Suns (12-29), Mon 12/28/15

[Cap]

Guess not.

[TOO]

Booker's been sitting a while. He's going to be back after the timeout and play the rest of the half, right?

Nah, we need Weems' defense on Shumpert much more.

[Cap]

Here he is. Knight-Booker-Tucker-Warren-Len.

[TOO]

I like this lineup a lot.

[carey]

I don't think they will win, but it's nice to see them playing hard.

[TOO]

Alex Len is so frustrating sometimes. Just go up strong dammit.

[carey]

Who do you keep out of Mirza / Leuer this Summer? I think it might depend on who we trade Markieff for, but I'd go with Leuer right now. What do you think he'll command? I'm thinking $8M/yr if he keeps playing like this.

[TOO]

I'd keep whichever is cheaper. 8m per seems like a lot for a bench PF.

[pickle]

I think 8 mil is more than reasonable for a guy like Leuer. Read in an article that by 2017 or 18 the average salary in the league will be 8 mil and by 2020 it'll be 10.

I might try to keep both, as neither guy seems to have delusions of grandeur and complain about playing time. I like Leuer's activity and smart cutting, and Teletovic's unconscious shooting. If we are to become serious contenders, we could use both depending on match ups.

Mirza can't do much besides shoot. He's pretty bad defensively though he's at least active. You're right, $8M will be the new MLE in 2 years.

[carey]

Tucker has played 28 of 33 minutes... second closest atm is Knight at 23.

https://twitter.com/paulcoro/status/681679483472973824 That's a ridiculous line-up.

[TOO]

Ridiculous isnt the word I'd use to describe that lineup.

[TOO]

Go around the big man ffs.

[Cap]

Shout out to the fans, who are out-cheering the Cleveland fans. Very different atmosphere from recent games.

[AmareIsGod]

2nd chance points. Needed that rebound. DAMMIT.

[TOO]

Booker in at crunch time. Gotta like that. Makes a good pass to Knight for a 3 when it mattered.

[carey]

Yeah, bummer of a call but Chandler totally grabbed him.

[AmareIsGod]

Really?!?!?!?

[TOO]

C'mon "veteran leader"
