With Kyrie out, Mo Williams has been done a phenomenal job filling out for him averaging 15ppg, 5apg, shooting 49% from the field. Love has been getting more shots and is averaging 3 more points and rebounds from last year and his stats are up across the board. I really don't see how Love is going to keep pace and find his rhythm the way he has, once Kyrie returns. Are the Cavs actually better with Mo running the point?
Wow what a game in New Orleans.. Cavs up 3 with a minute and change to go then two quick layups, Pelicans back up by a point. Then LeBron just muscles his way for a score with a tough move over Davis.
Byron Scott has benched Julius Randle and D'Angelo Russell, moving Larry Nance Jr & Lou Williams to the starting lineup.
Russell has averaged 12.1ppg over his last 4 games whilst shooting at 41% and averaging more than 5 rebounds a game (inc 10 with 5 being offensive against the Hawks), whilst Randle is the teams best big man and average almost a double double (11.7ppg / 9.2rpg)...
