One more try at a table…

If it doesn’t work, I’ll just have to take it out on the Bulls.

Cavs		Bulls
89.0 (22nd)	Pace	91.7 (11th)
107.9 (19th)	Offensive Efficiency	104.7 (26th)
108.3 (12th)	Defensive Efficiency	108.3 (13th)

So from the looks of it, the Bulls play fast and loose. Fast, because they squeeze nearly 3 possessions more out of each game and loose because they don’t know what the hell do to with those possessions.

Of course, the bigger story is that this is another post-trade rematch. Larry Hughes was unstoppable and the Cavs, embarrassingly, blew a lead and the game. Pride alone should be enough to put the Cavs over the top, since it’s one in a million that Hughes can repeat, but if you asked me what has 2 thumbs and doesn’t think the Cavs care to take their show on the road before the playoffs start, I’d point to this guy.

Honestly, with the rumored discord between Mike Brown and DJ, Sasha’s careless expression even when he gets minutes, as he’s resigned to lose them again, and the worrisome nagging back injuries across the front line, I feel like I’m in sync with the Cavs locker room in thinking that this next week could hurt more than it helps heading into the playoffs.

Let’s tune in tonight and hope I’m wrong. Go Cavs!
