Cavs improve to .500 with win: Pelicans drop to .500 with loss: Lebron has a triple-double

I have to admit this NBA season has been full of ups and downs so far. The Cavs right now remind me of Miami Heat the first year Lebron was there when they started 9-8. I think the Cleveland Cavaliers will get better once the chemistry comes together. The Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the New Orleans Pelicans 118-111. The win helped the Cavs to improve to 3-3, while the loss for the Pelicans drops them to 3-3. Here are the top stats for each team. Lebron had a triple double in this game.

Cleveland Cavaliers Thoughts

1. Cavaliers fans, give this team some time.  We are only six games into the season. Remember the Eastern Conference while it's better than it was last year,  it's not as competitive as the Western Conference.
2. Dominate performances from both Lebron James and Kyrie Irving. When these two starts finding ways to play together, this team will start winning more games.
3. Kevin Love maybe going to L.A. Lakers next year.  I"m not sure yet I believe that.  What do you think?
4. While Tristan Thompson is not up there in the company of Anthony Davis, Blake Griffin, LaMarcus Aldridge or Kevin Love,  I feel he's not a scrub and can play.

New Orleans Pelicans Thoughts

1. Ryan Anderson put on a shooting clinic tonight.  He deserves to be a candidate for 6th man of the year award.
2. Anthony Davis keeps putting up MVP like stats.  If this team gets 50 plus wins, I believe AD wins the MVP.  
3. I want to see this whole squad stay healthy and sneak into that 8th seed, to play the 1 seed whoever that is going to be.  

Final Thoughts

I believe Cleveland will go on a 15 game winning streak sometime this season. I don't know when yet. It will probably be near or after the All-Star Break.  What did you think of this game?  Send me your thoughts. Thank you for reading Pro Basketball Hoops Land.
