Cavaliers buzzed by Hawks

The Cleveland Cavaliers were generally outplayed for most of the game against the Atlanta Hawks with the exception of a third quarter run that got Cleveland as close as six points before the Hawks dominated the fourth period in a 103-87 Atlanta victory.
Alonzo Gee led Cleveland in scoring with 20 points.
Cleveland travels to the Rock tomorrow for a meeting against the Nets at 7:30.

Swashbucklings

1) Alonzo Gee did most of his damage in the first half with some spectacular slams.Gee also grabbed nine boards and just missed a double double.
Gee has flourished since entering the starting lineup and has to have put himself solidly in the plans for the future.

2) Tristan Thompson was announced as the starting center by Byron Scott until the return of Anderson Varejao.
Thompson finished with seven points and six boards and he is pretty much the teams only interior threat-which says all you need to know...

3) Byron Scott says that the team will be using a three guard rotation until Donald Sloan and Manny Harris are up to speed.
The Anthony Parker/Daniel Gibson part of the three was pretty bad as they combined for just nine points on the day.
Going to need more production than that to win the occasional game.

4) Another of those quiet 17 point nights from Antawn Jamison with a six of twenty two shooting night from the floor.
I know many wish Jamison was gone,but it is not like his time is keeping a young guy on the bench and stopping someone's development.

5) Luke Walton practiced with the team and might play against the Nets for a short stint.
Not sure what Walton has left in the tank,but since you are going to pay him,might as well use him.
