Deron Williams explains why he joined Cleveland Cavaliers
The Cavaliers were clinging to an 86-85 lead at the five-minute mark before the final surge began. This could lead to some fine changes in the LeBron James’ squad and will further put them in good shape for a Finals rematch against the Golden State Warriors.
More impressively, Chicago hit more 3-pointers than the Cleveland. The 32-year-old has career averages of 16.6 points and 8.2 assists over 12 National Basketball Association seasons, during which he was named an all-star three times and won two gold medals with Team USA. “D’antoni is a pretty good coach, but probably not suited for my style of play”. Butler finished with 18 points and 10 rebounds and assists on 7-of-19 shooting.
Richard Jefferson will be playing in his stead, as he practiced with the starters instead. Williams also added seven rebounds to continue his effective play since joining the team.
“February’s over, it sucks”, James said. “We had a great month”.
So far, his rookie season has derailed that vision for the time being. With this team, who knows.
Lue said he didn’t know how long James will be out. Attacking the rim, drawing fouls, using his body to create space and get shots over taller defenders, Felder loves to attack the rim. The Cavaliers now lead the season series between the two teams 2-1, with all three matchups being tense and competitive to date. “When you’re on Team USA, you fantasize about playing with all of those guys, and I’ve been fortunate enough to play with a bunch of them throughout my career”.
Don’t look now but the Bulls are on a four game winning streak and as of last night, they are tied with the Pacers for the 6th seed. “That’s all that really matters”.
This is the type of game a veteran team wins and a young team lets slip away.
Cleveland shot 35-70 (.500) from the field and 22-26 (.846) from the free throw line.
Whiteside was one of three Heat players (Dion Waiters and Goran Dragic) to score 20 or more points in the team’s win over Indiana. It took some time, not to mention another squad deciding to go with a youth movement, but Williams could fit the bill, albeit likely in limited minutes.
The Bucks may have sustained a costly injury as forward Michael Beasley sprained his left knee in the first half.
There were no takers on the waiver wire for Williams and what’s left of his $9 million contract, though it is believed Williams’ powerful agent, Jeff Schwartz, warned interested parties not to claim his client, who wanted to join Cleveland. Hardly. After being traded to the Mavericks in order to make room for Kevin Durant to be able to sign in the Bay Area, all bets are off, and Bogut wants revenge.
