Given the phrenetic pace of games that has only seemed to accelerate since the All-Star break, we’re clearly struggling to get recaps up in a timely manner (Adam Cathcart’s heroic efforts aside). I’ve decided to try to evaluate these games in blocks. The first block? The Five games in the last nine nights since the all-star break.
Cleveland started on Friday the 12th with a moribund 116-82 loss to the Pelicans. It appeared no one on the Cavs had done a damned thing during the All-Star break, as the execution level, effort level, and awareness level was fully locked in at “we just got done with a week on the couch playing video games” level.
