Dion Waiters coming out party happened in Hollywood as the Syracuse rookie drilled seven three pointers and finished with a game high 28 points as the Cleveland Cavaliers improved to 2-2 on the season with a 108-101 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers.
Kyrie Irving added 23 with the frontline high scorers of Anderson Varejao and Tyler Zeller each finishing with 15.
Cleveland is off tonight before traveling to Oakland Wednesday night against the Golden State Warriors.
Swashbucklings
1) Dion Waiters drilled seven three pointers?
Yep,Sure did.
Waiters has played just four games,but nights like last night certainly shows his upside.
2) Kyrie Irving shot only 8 of 23 but still finished with 23 points.
Irving did knock some three pointers down,but the percentage needs to improve a bit,although that's a nit pick.
3) Anderson Varejao spent more time on the floor with Tyler Zeller in this one with the pair combining for 22 boards.
I think Zeller in the post is going open up Varejao for the garbage work that he does so well.
4) Tyler Zeller runs the floor so much better than one expects looking at him.
Visually,Zeller looks like a gangly player with little coordination,but he actually is far better athletically than I thought he was entering the league.
5) Bad night for Tristan Thompson-0 for 6 from the floor and just one point on the night.
That could be the reason that Zeller and Varejao played so much together as Thompson was having an off night and that led to more time for Zeller...
