I'm sure with the playoffs coming in, Cavs will step up their game. The month of March was truly a disappointing for them. I'm expecting Cavs to begin acting like they are the defending champion and start to win basketball games again in succession. I'm seeing Deron Williams as the X-factor that would help them closer to another ring this 2017. Other worth mentioning is Kyle Korver, coming off the bench and providing needed offense specially in the 3 point line will definitely help the Big Three.
Deron Williams is only a factor when those 3 superstar are having an absence on a game. When currently the Big 3 is present, his performance factor is on average of 5 ratings out of 10. Why? Because of the playing time and play decision. Since D Will is the new arrival, he can't make his own set of play like he always doing in his previous teams.
The best thing to covered that is to play Dwill with the bench squad most of the time.
I agree, Williams has been playing pretty good without the big 3, but with them on the floor he's a non-factor or just doesn't seem to mesh well with Lebron or/and Irving. I think they are not used to having a ballhandler and don't give him the ball enough or just don't use him well enough. He's definitely a very special player that can even be the fourth best player in this team.
Also Lue has been awful handling different lineups and rotations, now the season is over. On a positive note, Edy Tavares the new addition played a very good game with 6 pts, 10 rebs and 6 blks! He's definitely a rim protector the Raptors were terrified and avoided driving to the hoop. Let's see if he gets any minutes in the playoffs though, I doubt it, but he is young and has plenty of potential (he was signed for 2 years!).
