Do people often overlook the signings on the Cavs bench and how they added more depth?

First topic message reminder :

I always hear people talking about "Will Shaq make that big of a difference" and "is getting Shaq that big of a deal"

It seems they look at Shaq as the only possible acquisition that can improve them.

People forget the Cavs who many feel had a weak bench and supporting cast added to that and strengthened it by adding Anthony Parker who was a starter in Toronto and a solid player, Leon Powe who is a good player and played a huge role in the Celtics 2008 NBA title run,and Jemerio Moon who can give them solid minutes.

I think what makes them better than last year is not only the fact that Shaq is an upgrade but they upgraded their bench and supporting cast in a big way. Didn't add superstars but players that will help them tremendously

What do you think?

hahahahahahah @ Shaq being Curly.

Okay, both things SK said I have to disagree w/.

Yes, the whole team was our downfall during the series agaainst the Magic, but why would we improve some of the most consistant starting PG's, SG's and SF's of last year? We NEEDEd to upgrade our bench.. it was old. Moon and Parker also help our biggest, weakness. Perimeter defense.
Wow... finally some long arms.. on the perimeter.. amazes me..

And as for the Magic..
you think Turkey, Lee and Alston weren't big losses?
They basically destroyed all match up advantages they owned..

All three of those guys came up huge in the playoffs, and you got an aging SG in Vince, who might give the Magic TOO much star power, and too much ME ME!
And you got Bass, who is good.. but is he ready to be an nba starter for a contender like the magic?

Turkey,Lee,Alston>BAss,VC and role players

There biggest weaknesses are lack of Basketball IQ, lack of talent in the backcourt and defending pick and roll, I think defending pick and roll was there biggest weakness last year and they done nothing to get better at it!

No..

If our whole coaching staff and GM and everybody and their grandmother in the Cavs organization belived it was perimeter length nad defense, it was length and defense.

Anywho...

Moon SUCKS.
Parker reminds me of playoff Mo Williams
and Shaq.. was average.

Just because they think that doesn't mean anything, It's pick and roll defense..they get torn apart by it everytime!

Cavs entiere organization>14 yr old's opinion

its not like that wasn't a bad problem. but it was nothing compared to perimeter length and defense.
Look at how we handled the Magic.

it was pick and roll defense....the perimiter defense is fine. The cavs arent exactly a genius organzation either...

Uh.... then how have they become a title contender?
Easily top 5 organization or they wouldn't be where they are.

and eitheir way, the worst management in the leauge can tell their weaknesses better than you can...

our perimeter D is NOT fine.. it wasn't fine....

Wait, is Visa trying to say the Cavs perimeter D was good last night...?

IDK...
I hope not.

...

No thats not what im saying..mind ur bussiness

Cavaliers just arent as good as the celtics,lakers,magic or spurs...there just not there, Get ready for the 48th year CBI

Okay Visa, I'm definately gonna trust ur opinion.

did i fuckin ask you to trust my opinion? no i didnt...

Um you were getting there.

"Get ready for the 48th year CBI"

So I should BELIEVE you, or in other words TRUST your OPINION

TRUST MY OPINION


w/e this is honestly the dumbest argument i've ever been a part of.

I know, lmao!

Well. The bench didnt bail them yesterday.

failed them 2 nights in a row

0-2 start to the year. Cavs a ways to go

The Cavaliers are having a not-so-good start right now.
I am optimistic that they can pull it up soon enough.
I think it is a bit too early to write them off as a team when they need some time to adjust to achieve that cohesiveness as a unit and all.

Hopefully, they can improve their game. Plus, Moon really needs to stop shooting bricks. Parker just needs to work on his offense a bit but he should still be valuable for the Cavaliers.
