The entire team gave up 125, thats not ALL of RW.
I didnt watch much of the game, but some said KD basically didnt guard Barnes since he didnt respect his shooting.
Regards to Crawford, when he's feeling it, he makes shots no one can cover, he just had one of those days unfortunately.
Well RW is guarding Paul. Thabo should have done something. Not really sure if you watched hte game but that was Crawford getting hot and when that guy gets hot nobody can guard him in the league. Thabo's defense has been spotty this year to say the least.
Well RW is not playing his normal starters minutes and getting into game shape. I hope you are still commenting when they are blowing teams out and both KD/RW are sitting in the fourth quarter.
RW played some bad defense in the fourth quarter but he was good last night overall. I'm not sure whats wrong with the teams overall defense right now. It can't just be Westbrook. He was running the point well last night. THey will still figure it out but I can't pretend that I'm not slightly concerned.
Also, this Cavs team is a little different than their record would indicate. Their starting five is actually kind of good. No reason the Thunder should ever lose to them but still the Cavs will be in the playoffs. They could be the 3rd or 4th best team in the East by the end of hte season.
Should just start a D-League thread.
Thabo has been a big bust this year. NOt sure what happened to him because he has been a key player for us for the last three years. He won't be on the team next year. They need to give Lamb more minutes.
RW is just fine as a defender. He isn't a lockdown guy because he isn't engaged all the time but once he is in game shape he will be just what this team needs. The offensive game is there. Not sure if you are watching at all but he has become an excellent distributor. He gets whatever he wants on the offensive side of the ball.
Again, the team will be just fine come the playoffs.
Listen, they just need to find their groove again. When OKC is playing at their best nobody but Miami can beat them. RW looks great and he will only get better.
The team just needs to figure out the rest of the rotation. Brooks needs to commit to small ball and play KD at the four and put Perry Jones in.

Did the team not get considerably better from the start of the year?
They are 8 -12 in the new year with wins vs:
Mil
Wash
OKC
Memphis
Sac
Detroit
Philly
Orlando

Teams they beat during their win streak:
Wiz, Memphis, Kings, Pistons, Philly, Magic they then proceeded to lose 3 in a row.
I would say it has more to do with playing **** teams, than getting better.
Thats possible. But they did in fact get better and hte East is horrible. With Nene out for the year I don't think the Wiz are clearly the third best team that I thought they would be.
