CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Just how serious are the Cleveland Cavaliers about playing at a much faster pace this season?

Take a look at the shot clock during practices. It's not set to 24, the number of seconds per initial possession in NBA arenas. In Cleveland, the timer is cut in half.

"We've got a 12-second shot clock, which is tough," George Hill said Saturday. "(Lue) does it to get the pace up, to get the ball up the floor, not a lot of dribbling. You've got to use the pass instead of dribble so we are just working on trying to enhance our pace.
