Who were we supposed to put in for Tristan. Every big on the bench is worse than he is from the foul line.

lol the KCAL reporter told Mike that the chants in the crowd were favorable to him

 

[Kouki]

MB will read the box score, see that JJ had 5 assists, and play him over dion

Why does it need to be a big?

We were on offense and they were going to foul, we could have thrown 5 guards out there if those are our best FT shooters.

 

[CornerThree]

76% from 3

 

[Kouki]

lets ask mike brown one more time about how he feels about LA

holy fuck

If they get a steal then they most likely have a fast break anyway. And a steal would be totally inexcusable there. Gour said it: You spread the floor with shooters and run the clock down. If they don't get the steal right away they foul. I swear, some of you guys worship the toilet Mike Brown shits in.

Trap, steal, no break, no big, give up easy layup in a mismatch. No bigs on the bench including Clark shoot as well as Tristan from the line.

You don't need to put a big in for a big. He could have put Jack or Delly or CJ in.

 

[Toph]

We almost shot better from 3 than from the line...

Only they weren't fouling, they were trapping going for the steal until the ball got to Tristan. Does anyone want jack on the court instead of Tristan there? Jack is our best foul shooter.

holy fuck

Yeah, he was only there for like 75 games or something.

 

[bushwick_bill]

I hope you were the guy sitting several rows behind the Cavs bench. That Cavs fan was jumping up and down all game. :chuckles:

You mean Lakers bench?

 

[Kouki]

Yeah, he was only there for like 75 games or something.

i don't know if you are trying to be facetious or something, but allie asked him about it multiple times at the beginning of the interview and mike brown repeatedly said "doesn't matter to me, just like any other road game"

then some tool asked the same exact question five minutes later

 

[davedugan43]

Really hope we can steal tomorrow's game. Because I can't see us winning in Denver, and if we can return from the road trip 3-2, that's a HUGE win for the Cavs.

I can't believe that some of you are advocating Mike Brown leaving TT in the game, dead ball, up two points, 25.3 on the clock.

This is why Mike Brown is a horrible coach who's in over his head. Take TT out the game and put you 5 best shooters in. You don't play the what if's in that situation. Give the ball to one of your best FT shooters.

Would Doc have DeAndre Jordan on the floor in that situation? Would Phil Jackson put Shaq in in that situation. Maybe Larry Brown would have put Ben Wallace in to take the FT for the Pistons in 04. Mike Brown can't manage the rotations, he sucks at in game adjustments, can't develop young players and he's not a motivator. Remember when he called two timeouts and we had to inbund the ball to Earl Clark because we didn't have anymore timeouts? Once again Mike Brown sets up up to fail and there is no excuse for this bullshit.

And you can't sit here and say "well at least we still won the game" No that's hogwash. Good teams and good coaches will take advantage of us in those situations. The Lakers are a bad team but I dare you to try this shit against a playoff team, something we're trying to be.
