everyone misses lay ups. melo is still one of the best going to the rack. he still s better in the lay up category over tony allen, vasquez, etc

And it's not "pessimism"...it's called REALISM. I see things for what they ARE, not just blindly cheer for something because that is what an organization tries to tell me. But that's because I've been on the other side of things...whereas you are just some teenage slacker who probably hasn't competed on a team since Little League. Unlike you, I'm able to be a Cavs fan while also not just blindly following the nonsense and propaganda that I am fed. I think for MYSELF and form my own opinions. One of those being that Tristan Thompson was the wrong pick at #4 that year...watching him play last season only reaffirmed that to me. If you don't think the Cavs wouldn't swap TT in a heartbeat for Nikola Vucevic...or several other players from that draft.....you're more of a blind FANATIC then you will ever admit. Grow up....and start thinking for yourself.

As a Cleveland native and Cavfanatic I have to interject... @ Loudmouth I agree w/ you that that Andre Drummond is having a better rookie season than TT, but you're not factoring in there was no off season for rookies last year, and no time for improvement w/ the condensed schedule... As for TT i think you also have to factor in his rebound % w/ the fact that he was playing with the most tenacious rebounder in the league in Andy.. W/O Andy he has shown that he is a tremendous rebounder. Offensively while he has gotten better, getting 18% of his shots blocked as a PF is a joke.

Jonas Valanciunas.... Are you kidding me? This guy is a -131 points on the floor.. He's not a good defender, rebounder, or low post scorer.. He's Tyler Zeller a big that can run the floor w/ a limited offensive arsenal.

ClevelandFan might be a little bit too overzealous w/ TT but the names you have thrown out are ridiculous. Klay Thompson offensively is gifted but doesnt do anything else. If you compare him to an NBA vet it would be much taller Monte Ellis. Whats the good in scoring 30 if you give up 35? Kemba Walker is a one dimensional player who is a 2 guard in a pg body.. He's Ben Gordon w/ better ball handling but can't shoot as well. Ken Faried is a garbage man plain and simple. He's strictly a rebounder and a big that runs the floor.

As for your comment on Chris Grant, when you try and build a team in your vision, you have to project a player down the road, not just "how he might look his rookie season." Sure in hindsight Marvin Williams was a bad pick, but work ethic comes into play as well. In one season TT put in the work and jumped leaps and bounds from his rookie year, so to call that a bad pick is a joke. And Chris Grant turned Jon Luer into Marresse Speights, Wayne ellington, Selby AND a 1st round pick... Turned Mo Williams and Jamario Moon into Kyrie Irving, turned Ramon Sessions into Tyler Zeller... Should the Lakers make the playoffs he will have turned the 30th pick into a late teens early 20 pick.. JJ Hickson/Casspi trade is a wash..Got a 2nd round pick for DJ Kennedy. When you take an older, sorry, over paid team post Lebron and turn it into a young cheaper up and coming team in 2 years you deserve some credit. What teams in NBA history has drafted a pg, sg, pf, c in two draft, and still have 3-4 1st round picks for the upcoming draft and still have cap flexibility?

Lol there was a segment during the game last night of Adam Silver, and he was praising the Cavs organization and their rebuilding process...

TT averaging 15 and 12 since the New Year. Honestly he should be in the running for Most Improved player.

Dion is also coming into his own lately.

I swear some Cleveland fans just find a reason to hate things. It's whatever tho.

Hopefully they can take Bargs (2 games back) and Val (4 games back) off the injury list, sucks having only Amir Johnson and Aaron Gray as your bigs

For a SF with such a high off. awareness, 79 layup is actually VERY good. Melo is fine trust me.

I just got 2K13 and I find it a little ridiculous I can't play an online game with Rose who is on the cover of the game.

i have been watching your post for a while, man for you to be a knick "fan" you are only concerned with star players./ Melo is good in the game already just leave it alone
