2015 NBA Pre-Season Thread

The Pels got their roster down to 14 today, 6 of those 14 (Ajinca, Asik, Babbitt, Cole, Evans, Pondexter) will likely not see a minute on the court come Tuesday night. A 7th guy, Holiday, is on a 15 minute restriction. I've never seen anything like that.

On a more positive note, Eric Gordon looks really good. Seems more explosive this season than he's been in a few years.

LeBron is out with back stuff
Kyrie is out with tin man
Kevin Love is just now getting back
Mozgov is out of shape due to knee surgery
Shumpert is out three months

That's the Cavs entire starting lineup

But, to be fair, three of those guys should be playing opening night

Their starting five just doesn't fit together.

They've got solid players but I just don't think they'll fit together well. Plus what they made their name on last season (defense) I don't feel will live up to expectations. Look at Charlotte last season.

 

[Teagz]

Their defense is really gonna struggle if they play Jabari and Monroe down low at the same time.
 
 
I like a lot of their pieces but I'm not sure how they all fit.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Yeah it wouldn't surprise me if they didn't meet expectations

Who would've guessed that Greg Monroe wouldn't move the needle for a bottom tier eastern conference playoff team?

definitely not me

 

[jonathanlambert33]

I don't like the Monroe addition at all. There's a lot of teams he would have been a good fit for, but Milwaukee isn't one of them.
