|
| | | CLEVELAND: GUARDS: There are some durability concerns, but KYRIE IRVING is on the verge of stardom. He should benefit from the arrival of Anthony Bennett, the kind of pick-and-roll weapon Cleveland has lacked . . . DION WAITERS is still a work-in-progress defensively, and this will likely be another developmental year. He might end up settling in as the leader of the second unit . . . JARRETT JACK seems likely to close out games, even if he doesn't technically start. He's a creative shot-maker who will play close to starter's minutes . . . C.J. MILES is more of a situational three-point threat. SERGEY KARASEV, a polished Euro import, could push him for that role . . . CARRICK FELIX doesn't figure to crack this rotation. FORWARDS: No. 1 overall pick ANTHONY BENNETT will see time at both forward spots, and he'll be a pick-and-pop weapon no matter where he's playing. The question is whether he'll defend well enough to stay on the court for 30 minutes . . . There should also be enough minutes for TRISTAN THOMPSON, who hasn't quite put it together. The 22-year-old has upside though, and is a bigger part of Cleveland's future than Anderson Varejao . . . EARL CLARK gives the Cavs a quality second unit player who can play extended minutes if Bennett is overmatched defensively . . . A starter last year, ALONZO GEE figures to be a second-unit glue guy, but might be looking at a lot of DNP-CDs. CENTERS: ANDERSON VAREJAO is once again healthy and once again trade bait. No matter what the starting lineup looks like, he'll play major minutes at the four and five . . . The Cavs are taking a flier on ANDREW BYNUM. With his knee problems, it'd be surprising if he could give them 20-plus good minutes per night . . . TYLER ZELLER is likely the odd man out until Varejao is dealt or Bynum gets injured. | | SAN ANTONIO: GUARDS:Considering how exhausted he looked by the end of the Finals, don't be surprised if TONY PARKER gets more rest during the regular season . . . DANNY GREEN had a coming-out party this past June. A three-point specialist who can defend, the Spurs will lean on him more heavily during the first 82 . . . MANU GINOBILI looks oh-so-close to being done. His minutes will decline . . . MARCO BELINELLI adds quality depth behind Green. He'll take many of the minutes that used to go to Ginobili and Gary Neal, who left for Milwaukee . . . CORY JOSEPH enters the season as the favorite to back up Parker, but it's a fluid situation . . . NANDO DE COLO fell out of the rotation last season, but has enough talent that he should bounce back . . . PATTY MILLS is more of a cheerleader than a useful bench piece. FORWARDS: TIM DUNCAN just keeps going. The 2012-13 regular season was his best in years. The Spurs will keep his minutes in check, but he likely has another great season in him . . . KAWHI LEONARD is one of the league's elite role players, and he seems to keep getting better. He can shoot, score off the dribble and defend . . . JEFF AYRES is a skilled big man who will back up Duncan and can play alongside him for stretches. Like all of their frontcourt players besides Duncan, the player formerly known as Jeff Pendergraph, will see his playing time will fluctuate greatly depending on matchups. CENTERS: TIAGO SPLITTER continues to improve rapidly, and he'll now take the bulk of the minutes alongside Duncan. But as we saw in last year's Finals, head coach Gregg Popovich will keep him on the bench if the matchup isn't right . . . BORIS DIAW's versatility gives Pop options off the bench . . . MATT BONNER is pretty much just around to participate in the Three-Point Shootout at this point in his career. |

*Cavaliers-Spurs Preview* =========================
By JEFF BARTL STATS Writer
Cleveland (4-8) at San Antonio (10-1), 8:30 p.m. EDT
Plenty has been going right for the San Antonio Spurs during the best start in franchise history, while things seemingly keep getting worse for the frustrated Cleveland Cavaliers.
San Antonio looks to extend its winning streak to 10 while beating visiting Cleveland for the eighth straight time Saturday night.
The defending Western Conference champion Spurs (11-1) have been on a roll since losing to Portland on Nov. 2, and they've won their last seven by an average of 15.6 points.
Tony Parker went 8 of 14 from the field and scored 11 of his 20 points in the fourth quarter as San Antonio pulled away for a 102-86 win over Memphis on Friday.
"We kept our composure and we didn't panic," Parker said. "We just run our stuff and make stops."
Coach Gregg Popovich was impressed with Parker's play, especially down the stretch. The point guard has scored 25 fourth-quarter points over the last two games.
"He made great decisions, got the ball moving and involved everybody," Popovich said. "He spread the floor for himself and did a really fine job."
Tim Duncan had only eight points, but Manu Ginobili had 15 off the bench as San Antonio's reserves outscored the Grizzlies bench 45-18.
The Spurs shot 53.2 percent and rank among the NBA leaders shooting 48.1 on the season.
"We played well in the first half and got a bit of a lead," Duncan said. "They made a run as we expect everybody to do. This is the NBA. It's how it works. We kept our composure, made some plays at the right time and just gave ourselves a cushion again."
San Antonio hasn't lost to Cleveland since March 8, 2010, and has won the last four home matchups with the Cavaliers, who are coming off their fifth defeat in six contests.
Cleveland (4-9) squandered a 12-point lead with 4:41 remaining Friday and fell to New Orleans 104-100. Kyrie Irving scored a game-high 22 points, while Jarrett Jack added 19 off the bench on 9 of 13 from the field.
"It's a tough loss, especially when you feel like you had control most of the game," coach Mike Brown said. "But it's a growing, learning experience for a young group."
Irving drove and attempted a potential tying layup with 23 seconds remaining but missed, then removed his face guard protecting his broken nose in frustration after believing he was fouled.
The disappointing loss came despite the team shooting a season-best 53.2 percent, in part because of the team's turnovers. Cleveland also was forced to start undrafted rookie guard Matthew Dellavedova in place of C.J. Miles, who also won't play Saturday because of a right calf strain.
"Where the game was lost was 20 turnovers," Brown said. "On the road, you have 20 turnovers for 21 points, that's tough."
No. 1 overall pick Anthony Bennett was healthy and active Friday but did not play. He is 5 of 37 (13.5 percent) from the field and has totaled 13 points in 10 games.
Irving has averaged 12.7 points while shooting 31.3 percent in three career games against the Spurs.
Duncan had 30 points and 12 rebounds to help San Antonio beat Cleveland 119-113 in the most recent meeting March 16.
