1. Last week, I challenged Ty Lue to prove his basketball acumen to be something other than that of a common fan. I introduced him to a talented young player who, to that point, had been rotting on the Cavs’ bench.
Much to our delight, Lue finally got my memo and started both Cedi Osman and Kyle Korver. The move has helped to lead the Cavs to three straight victories as the duo’s floor game and intensity set the tone for the rest of the team.
By starting Korver, the Kevin Love/Korver two man dance has left Brad Stevens no opportunity to play Aron Baynes, thus forcing the Celtic coach to give more minutes to the talented but unproven, Semi Ojeleye.
