CLEVELAND, OH – OCTOBER 17: Jae Crowder /

The Cavs’ have a balanced offensive attack. 

One of the problems last season was the offense being too top heavy. That doesn’t appear to be the case this year. Six Cavaliers (James, Love, Korver, Crowder, Jeff Green, and Derrick Rose) finished the game in double figures. The bench also added 42 points in the win. Their well-balanced attack with multiple scorers could be the team’s biggest strength.

LeBron is a practicing to be a ref.

James decided that he’d help the refs out a little bit by doing their job for them at the end of the third quarter. Words don’t do this sequence justice.

Dwyane Wade hasn’t broken out of his slump yet. 

Wade struggled with shooting once again. He finished with 4 points on 2 of 7 shooting. Wade was also the only Cavalier to finish the game on the wrong side of the plus/minus by being a -4. He has had a difficult time adjusting to the Cavs’ offense and often settles for contested mid-range jumpers. The Cavs will need to find better ways to integrate him into the offense.
