Do Not Sell My Personal Information
You gotta go to Garland over Goodwin. Thats an obvious decision. Garland isnt supposed to throw the ball off dudes ankles and leave their best 3pt shooter with 3seconds left to double their C 19 feet away from the basket. Thats not on JBB.

What IS on JBB?

Our worst defender guarding a league MVP who could literally break in half over his leg.

The lack of creativity on offense thats a continuous problem.

Putting the team in a hole to dig out of every night. We have to play perfect 2nd halves against good teams to have a chance to win.

Either no adjustments or really fucking stupid ones.

The 3 pt defensive scheme.

And a lot more. Toronto just has to beat the Clippers 3rd string tonight to fully erase what was a 3 game lead less than a week ago. Well done JBB! Youve managed to flush our season down the toilet.
 
JBB needs to cut the bullshit now. Start Caris LeVert and bench Stevens. What the fuck? I thought the purpose for Caris LeVert was to pair him with DG and give him another creator on the floor?

Of course DG was going to force things when he’s playing with no ball handlers besides himself. Start fucking Caris. Enough is enough. 15/7.

Good job, good effort. I was ready to give props whether it was a win or a loss. But saw too much stupid stuff and mismanagement. So I'm just going to leave it at that.

I couldn't watch the first half due to some work things tonight so that might have been rife with mismanagement. I was able to watch the entire second half.

What elements of the second half did you feel were blatant stupid stuff and mismanagement by coaching vs some bad player mental errors and mistakes?

Players still fought their tails off the second half, but Garland, bless him he's been so huge for us all year, but he really had several head scratchers on both sides of the ball in the 4th quarter.

Just an unbelievable "fuck you" by JBB. Goodwin played his heart out and got benched on a night when Garland was terrible.

Dude, you go with your best dudes with the game on the line. Benching Garland would have been fucking stupid as hell. He's the best player we have on this team. He had a tough night. Big fucking deal. Without him we would be in fucking NBA purgatory begging for Chet Holmgrens ugly ass.
 
I HATE this matchup.
Most hated matchups against the Cavs:
1. Warriors (FUCK them)
2. 76ers
3. Heat
4. Celtics
5. Nets
6. Every other team that has multiple people who can at least get 35% from 3

The officiating. The bullshit the Cavs defense is specifically weak against.
Just hate this matchup. The only way to beat this shit is with relentless offense, which is what the Cavs do not have, and will not this season.
Close but no cigar.

If I pointed to one play late that I didn't like... Garland should have given it to Lamar earlier instead of so late in the clock he couldn't do anything but throw up an emergency shot.

Nice rally in the 3rd.

He's searching right now, but he hit on some good stuff. Lauri was great on Embiid honestly. Bench lineup was good.

Starters had spacing problems that prob would have been solved if Lauri had hit some wide open shots.

Caris and Darius need better chemistry. They've barely played together so far tho.

Lauri Markannen guarding Joel Embiid. That is a doozy. And thats the primary reason dudes were sprinting to help. Because the next play after the Maxey 3 Embiid swatted Lauri away like a fly from 10 feet away and got an easy layup.

So yeah, that alone forced the team into feeling like they had to step up and make a play. And we got burned on both ends of it.

There is literally nobody in the NBA who can stop Embiid 1-on-1, and we certainly have nobody that can come even close (that includes Allen). That's not how you guard him in the first place.

Who would you have put on him? He immediately proceeded to destroy Mobley, Allen is not available, Moses is a twig on a 10 day contract and the rest... don't make me laugh.

HC, no NBA coach is benching their All Star stud PG for the final 6-8 minutes of the game.
It's just not a reasonable, realistic expectation, even if you think it is what should have happened.

Lauri got swatted away like a fly on the most important possession of the game and Embiid got a layup. Great on Embiid my ass.
