Thoughts From Friday's Wine & Gold Scrimmage

Some random thoughts from Friday night's Wine and Gold Scrimmage...LeBron had great energy, as he has all week during training camp...he has really set the tone with his business-like approach...he had one drive from the left side at Rhodes arena, and with a typical tight spin, reversed and scored...how many times has he done that in his hometown before? Too many he couldn't even count I'm sure...LeBron had a similar score in a scrimmage this week, when he was very deep behind the bucket coming from the right side.....got in mid air and said "ah shoot" thinking he was too deep...so, he merely hung in mid air a little longer and scored on the reverse...Filthy.

Shannon Brown had a strong 3rd quarter in the scrimmage, getting in the open floor...he has really worked hard on his ball handling and decision making. Shannon had some hockey assists against the Gold squad...those are passes Mike Brown likes to refer to which set up a true assist.

When the Cavs open the pre-season Tuesday night you will notice there is commitment to ball and people movement...that's been the constant emphasis on offense in camp...get the ball down the floor, and then keep the ball moving from side to side to make the defense react.

Join us for the Cavs and Wizards Tuesday night from the at 7:00 p.m. on FSN Ohio.

Nice to hear Shannon Brown looked good Friday. I'm excited to see his development this season. He, other than Lebron's outside shot, will be where the Cavs point to, in showing how they "improved" their team in the off-season.

Section 114, Row 14, Seats 1,2. See you at US Airways Center on November 4th. Had to tap into the Suns ticket exchange system for tickets.
