Delly and-1. Puts Cavs to 95-91 and gives him 24 points and +22.

Delly's going ballistic!

Detroit have just called three straight time outs.

Edit: Actually, timeouts have gone Cavs, Pistons, Pistons, Cavs. Four in a row!

8-10fg and 5-7 3pt on fire. Well done Delly.
Also 5 assists

An earlier score was revised to be someone other than Delly, so he finishes with 21 and 6 assists.

Game winner by Waiters. Big comeback. 31-14 in the fourth.

21 and 6 still a great result and will be remembered more as they won.
Dellys recent form could see him push for spot in NBA.com rookie rankings

Had the game of his career. Really impressive defensive showing on Jennings in the clutch. Just scrapped so hard and set his team up for the Waiters buzzer beater. Great team win. I take my hat off to the Cavs. Without Kyrie the team has been fighting in every game.

Man, that was fun to watch!

Dellavedova +24
Varejao +25

Next best Gee with +4 and Waiters +3

Everyone else was a (-) quite a bit for some!

Says something...

Awesome job from Delly!

To think that he went undrafted because so many scouts and 'analysts' didn't think he had the speed, athleticism or talent to play in the NBA.

For those that have seen recents Cavs games, do the Cavs play better without Kyrie in the lineup? Kyrie's obviously exceptionally talented but hasn't really shown a will to win unless it involves dribbling the air out of the ball.

Delly and Varejao have been their +/- kings all season. Funny what happens with guys who actually care about winning! Those two are like the Damian Martin and Dillon Boucher of the NBA.

ROY

paul, I've noticed it's always Varejao there with him too.

When Hawes was traded, a lot of 76ers fans on r/NBA were not unhappy to see him go, considering him a bit soft. Consensus seemed to be that he had value off the bench but was not likely to be a winning starter.

Surely they need to look at returning Varejao to the starting line-up, even if Delly continues to come off the bench?

I can't imagine that, even if he wanted to, Brown could start Delly over two of Irving, Waiters and Jack without some sort of mutiny. But I suspect he could see real value in doing so.

Yeah I agree Isaac re: Varejao, Delly.

It will be interesting to see whether Kyrie plans on sticking around when Cavs will offer him max contract on July 1, from what i understand if he doesn't sign by October 30 2014, the Cavs will likely be forced to trade Kyrie, and it seems that might be his intention.

"I can't imagine that, even if he wanted to, Brown could start Delly over two of Irving, Waiters and Jack without some sort of mutiny."

And that, Isaac, is why Mike Brown is not a good coach.

Not that starting Delly is definitely the right call, but regardless of merit, the fact that it's so taboo on a terrible, terrible team that is grasping at straws just shows how out of his depth he is at managing personalities at that level.

Delly has started earlier in the season when Brown was trying to crack the whip.
They need to do something about their starting lineup it keeps giving up these big deficits.

Delly with 11p & 6a today in 30mins, going +24 as the Cavs beat Indiana 90-74!!!!!! Got a standing O at the end of the game.

Great job by Delly today finishing the season strong, remarkably the Cavs still in fight for playoffs

Was superb today really has some sweet passes up his sleeve threw an absolute rocket assist that got the oohs and ahs but there was unfortunately a foul before it. Has been incredibly influential in Kyrie's absence.

Time to find out what Kyrie could fetch in a deal I think. If they could get some value for him they're starting to build an ok team.

I think so too. r/NBA consensus amongst Cavs fans appears to be that Waiters has given them a little more structure and D, especially when working with Delly.

Might as well try to capitalise on Kyrie's value now rather than let the situation decline. If they can't keep Deng or regain LeBron, might as well fill one of the forward spots.
