Cavs were able to pull off a victory but the way they are
playing exposes few flaws in their attack. It is possible to recover with help
from experienced players like LeBron, Love and Mo but we can’t expect the same
for every game. There are good teams in Eastern Conference and definitely
Sixers are not one of them at this point.
Sixers gave a good fight though until the end.
Difference in point for each quarter is very low. Both teams
played very well.

As LeBron said after the game, all they need is inspired basketball and no room
for slowing down. Looks JJ’s advice worked in the locker room at half time
break. It’s easy to lose focus but performance like LeBron’s brings every one
back on to the same page.
Go Cavs!
No wins in all 4 games of the regular season, Sixers are
looking for their first win. As many analysts pointed out, this is a young and talented
team. Every game is an opportunity to learn and fine tune their long term strategy. At some point of the season they have to start winning.
Sixers:
- #14 in the Eastern Conference
- #4 in the Atlantic Division
- Average Points Scored per game is 88.3 and Average Assists per game is 18
Cavaliers:
- #3 in the Eastern Conference
- #1 in the Central Division
- Average Points Scored per game is 101.2 points and Average Assists per game is 25.8
Cavaliers are playing at a different level this year with strong bench
performances. Mo is averaging 15.4
points per game with very strong performance in last 2 games. This could be due
to increased playing minutes and he is a versatile player.
It’s fun to watch Tristan and Dellavedova and
I think they would repeat the same in this home game as well.
Hopefully no more ripping of sleeves from LeBron!
CFF Prediction: Cavs will win!
LeBron definitely looks like a warrior with his ripped sleeves
jersey and in fact he did played like a warrior at the end.
LeBron, Mo and Love has Net Player Score (NPS) between 70
and 80, which is categorized as “Very Good”.
Tristan’s NPS is between 80 to 90 - “Excellent”
Cavs score is below 100 and it does reflect the slow start and
late attack. There was lot of back and forth at 65 points each and Cavs were able
to take the lead and keep it till the end even though they lost it for few
minutes.

Spirted Knicks are very dangerous and if they maintained
their initial gain it would have been a different story. Cavs stepped up their
defense when it mattered most. Wonderful effort from bench as well.
At one point, before the 3rd quarter, Cavs bench
scored just 2 compared to 12 points coming off Knicks bench.
Good points: Mo is playing well, Love keeps it going, Delly
and Tristan are a tiny team within the team and LeBron is LeBron. Great win and
I am sure home crowd enjoyed it.
