Damn for a second I thought Diakite got this one

 

[Marcus]

1993!

Best Cavs defensive player in my lifetime.

 

[CroopZ23]

Neto is honestly too good to not be getting minutes when Rubio comes back. He makes a clear impact out there with his energy and defense.

Not sure i agree. hes solid- but Pangos had that intimidation factor- he gave us a very hardcore vibe last year.

no trap game here

 

[Mr. Orange]

I still don’t think JBB is the best X’s and O’s guy, but as a HC and motivator, I think he’s pretty good. Think Walton was a good add though on the offensive side having run the show in GS for a bit.

 

[Alec]

why are people so serious around here ?

The name of the website says it all.

Cedi sounds under the weather ; hope he doesn’t get everyone else sick on the flight, etc.

That would be just like COVID to mess up our great start. Hope for the best.

4 games in Cali going to be tough, regardless…

Cade wasn't their problem. Dwayne Casey is everything that this forum thinks JBB is.

Except JBB just won a game on the road without a pg.

Levert tried, but he isnt a pg. Neto plays fun D, and a decent ball handler, but struggles with ditribution because of his size. Great for a 3rd pg, or really 4th with Mitchell, but only looks good because Pangos was so bad, lol

 

[Lee]

Detroit got some bullshit wins against the Cavs last season.
24 point win. Never was close when the Cavs got to 'lanchin it up.

LeVert, Love and Neto held it down. Allen and Mobley destroyed.
This offense is DIFFERENT now. LeVert looked like Nets LeVert tonight. Paint was open so much tonight.

I am pretty sure its the Luke Walton difference. First game without Mitchell so its not just him, the offense is 10 times better than last year on ball movement. Screens, cuts, it was ugly for the first part of the first quarter, but once they got into their sets, and Love came in, offense looked good.

He is under the weather, he got caught in a Cavalanche. He should be ok.
