Insight:
This was my first game of the day, not warmed up, and a pretty tough matchup for the Cavs. The first half I played horrible on both sides of the ball. And my center Varejao get into fouled trouble very early, and couldn't seem to stay in the game, he fouled out midway through the 4th. I was down quite a bit to to start the 2nd half so I had to get Irving going, as I did. My other starters struggled shooting the ball, though we got to the basket a few times and to the FT line. My 3PT numbers were a bit low due to jacking up some shots late in the forth trying to get back in the game. The LA big men dominated, especially Howard. (With Varejao on the bench that killed me.)
Overall this game played very well, even though I lost. Nothing weird happened. I liked the overall feel and felt rewarded when I played good defense or moved the ball around and got good shots.
