2023-24 Season | Game #5 | Cavs @ Knicks | Nov. 1, 2023 | 7:30 EST

Well, Strus is shooting 35% from 3 and 35% from the field this season; Cedi is 50% from 3 and 58.1 % from the field, so far

Dreaded small sample size.

Thought TT changed the tenor of the game and, honestly, the spell in the 2nd half where Mitchell sat helped other guys get some confidence.

Yeah, what I saw in the third, was absolutely awesome. We even looked like a unit. I feel TT is bringing some quality leadership too.

He's the only guy with a ring on his finger. He knows what needs to be done to be a really good team. Even Mitchell really doesn't know TBH. He's never sniffed real success.

And Kevin just wasn't that kind of leader.

A WINE & GOLD WINNER

Also, for as much shit as Mobley gets for the offensive rebounds (which, I mean, I'm not sure how he's supposed to be the only guy challenging shots at the rim and then also boxing out Robinson, who does nothing on offense outside of camping at the rim waiting for rebounds), the Knicks bigs sure couldn't finish inside all night....

There were a few that frustrated me at the end of the game but for the most part he was putting his body on their bigs.

So when are we getting the boys back???

Absolutely

Wished the cavs looked more for mobley during the 6minute drought in the 4th. We weren't scoring anyway, why not give mobley a chance to work on his game.

I just was watching the Spurs/ Suns game last night and as many of us stated…was curious at to how Cedi would perform under Pop….happened to notice his percentages. I was a fan of the Strus signing and had ridden the Cedi rollercoaster for too long.

Some of you guys are absolutely fucking miserable. Even in a short handed win we find reasons "we should have lost".

Objectivity is one thing. Negativity across the board feels like it's at an all time high. Go back to your drinking problems and online poker addictions.

Go Cavs!

Certain players fit certain coaches. Cedi fits Pop. Cedi did not fit JBB

Is it far fetch to say Tristan was our best pick up this off season? I don't think he's the BEST player we picked up. But the thing we lacked badly last year, is toughness, and the Knicks just bullied us in the playoff series.

Tonight, we bullied them! And it felt like he set the tone. We had one pit bull in Okoro, but we lacked one down low. Players respond to it. And TT came and just bullied them around, and the team responded.

Strus was the better pickup, but maybe TT is 2nd best? I have been saying dont unnderestimate 15 minutes from Tristann even when Allen is healthy.

TT should get the JYD. He changed the tone of the game.

Yeah, I like Strus, I guess I'm thinking in overall value and impact. TT can change the culture of the locker room.

Skillset wise, and what they add to the team, obviously Strus. Both are fine additions.

I liked the TT signing when I saw it. Even though I didn't expect him to play. Shit, he's still got game in him though.

I know that we are down some key guys, but I'd still like to see more movement on offense.

What is this due to?

Was training camp too hard/strenuous?

Is the Cavs training and nutrition staff lacking?

Normal NBA wear and tear from in court contact?

Nobody played more than 33 minutes last night and only that guy over 30 minutes

I’m guessing/hoping a lot of these were just muscle treatment from bruises and body to body contact

I’m remember during his second stint with the Cavs LBJ spoke about how he took care of his body. He said he would get to the arena four hours early, sit in the hot tub for 45 mins, do some excercises and 30 minutes before the game he would be on the trainer’s table letting him massage his body and stretch his legs and body out. I’m guessing these guys sit at their locker with headphones on.
