Game Thread 2018-19 Season Game #15 | Cleveland Cavaliers @ Detroit Pistons | November 19th, 2018

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
I checked the box score awhile ago and we were behind by like 30 points, Zizic had 5 minutes and 0 points. Now I check again and it's an 11 point game, and Zizic has 17 minutes and 12 points. For those watching, what happened. Did Zizic ball out for a little while? Or was it just garbage time stuff?
 
Sexton, Nwaba, Cedi, Love, Zizic.
Nance 6th man.

Run with this through the entire season, regardless of W-L ratio.

There's absolutely no reason to be developing anybody else on this roster and giving them playing time.

Played good defense, and actually got the ball in his spots on offense.

Zizic had a stretch in the 4th where he scored like half of our points. Even hit a mid-range jumper

This is true.he was useless except for that stretch. I think it was good for him to play a combination of Drummond and Blake. He needs to understand the level he needs tonp li at at to compete.. we were simply outmanned in the front court.. half our rebounds came from the bench., and they beat us on the boards 50 to 36..
 
Don’t get me wrong - I was as tired of LeDrama, as much as the next guy, but having games be over before the end of the first quarter ain’t much fun neither...
I disagreed with your post because you mentioned "LeDrama" "All the drama, All the drama from LeBron get him outta here." Yeah, all the drama he brings is so terrible. Some stupid tweets and some his passive-aggressive comments to the media. Wow so much drama to have to live with.

I men that stretch was the only part of the game where he was used correctly on offense. It's hard to be useful as a traditional big when you're getting the ball on or just below the three-point line.

Yeah, but outside that Q4 run, he was not getting rebounds and making other mistakes.. I dont want to hear excuses laid on the other players. During his good stretch he was rebounding and disturbing drummond.. which is what he needs to learn..

I mean news bulletin, Drummond is one of the most gifted bigs in the league. He can go off for 20 rebounds on any given night. Griffin for all of his overratedness, is going to bring it. TT could slow Griffin, but cant really stop Drummond, and between him and Nance there is not enough grizzle to handle that pair. If Ante wants to start as a big in this league he has to expect to match that intensity from the jump. I think this is part of his learning curve. He has good offensive skills, and he has good size, but he needs the motor or he is just a bench big.
