Can’t play better than this without your 2 thoroughbreds

If I didn’t know anything about this game , including who wasn’t playing, I would have said to myself before reading the BX score DM and DG really had good games…..

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.

There would literally be no meaningful PT for Neto if Rubio is completely healthy, that why I’m in no rush to bring Rubio back until he as healthy as he going to be this season……

Now with that said maybe on BB , you don’t play Rubio , and that where Neto can find some minutes, that isn’t Junk time….

Agree to disagree I think he’s been better. Not perfect, but better.

Fair enough.

Good game summary from Fear the Sword:

Takeaways from the Cleveland Cavaliers’ 112-88 win over the Detroit Pistons

The Cavs dominated without Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell.

I read that article earlier and while there’s decent content, that Chris Manning fellow writes like an 8th grader and certainly needs a proofreader. It was so poorly constructed he lost all credibility as a “journalist “ with me

Pistons looked horrible. These players don't go together well. They played some low iq ball, no care in the world on defense. Doesn't look like cade and ivey go together

Casey is a really bad coach. And outside of a few guys (who are still young and inexperienced), their roster is full of non-contributors.

Cade impressed me, so they have at least something to build on. I also think Ivey will be good in time.

 

[cabs]

The concern with Ivey at the moment is he doesn’t appear to be a great shooter

There was a game during the Daugherty/Nance/Price/Hot Rod era where they had either 17 or 18. I'll see if I can dig up when....

ETA - Cavs had two games during that era when they blocked 17 shots...plus a game against the Knicks where they blocked 21. Nance alone blocked 11.

NBA Record For Most Blocks In A Game By The Cavs | StatMuse

The Cleveland Cavaliers denied their most shots in a game against the Knicks on January 7, 1989, with 21 blocks.

I was at that game. The idiot Knick guards kept driving the lane putting up weak shit and Nance / Williams just swatted that away. Knicks coach called out his players after the game for their stupidity. Nance / Williams catchphrase was “Bring it on baby” and the Knicks paid the price and I don’t mean Mark.

Former Cavalier Elmore Smith once had 13 blocks in a game when he played for the Milwaukee Bucks.

I think he has the Cavs' record for 10 blocks in a game. Mobley may get that record.

Nance had 11 in the game I saw that my brother @The Human Q-Tip referenced.

I think Mobley’s good for a dozen at some point.

Well, to get a Cannae, you need both a genius like Hannibal and a fool like Varro.

Which means Mobley may need to encounter a pack of morons the equal of the 1988-89 Knicks to break that record.
