Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Can’t wait to get more shooters. Our hot start was in large part because our ability to hit the 3 - we missed a lot of opportunities in the 2nd half.
 
That turnover was developing right in front of JBB. We had 2 timeouts left. Choke job on JBB. Call a fucking timeout. Pleeeeeeease fire this dude
Less than a second passed between Lauri gaining full possession and passing the ball. I expected bad takes but damn lol
 
Can't wait until people insist LeVert was good today later on because they'll look back at the box score, forgetting what actually happened in the game.

LeVert wasnt great. He had good moments tonight. Kept us close going into the 4th.

The box score actually tells the story for once today.

Rondo-18
Okoro -14

Stevens 0 mins
Osman 0 mins
 
It’s really obvious what the roster needs. And Gilbert has no problem paying coaches to go be assistants elsewhere. So that’ll happen.

All I’m saying is…a couple smart roster moves and a certain someone coming back in 16 months = guaranteed at least 1-2 rings

There is no such thing.

Cavs went to five out iso over and over and over again in the second half. Not holding this against LeVert. Yeah, he had some bad turnovers late in the clock/etc, but he played well overall given the circumstances imo. Garland ran into the same issue. Both forced the issue, but there was no structure or fall back instructed, at least it appeared that way to me. There's gotta be another way to generate offense. Cavs mixed it up much better in the first half. Second half, they played into Atlanta's hands (specifically about midway thru the third, first part, the teams were exchanging buckets and Cavs got easy looks in the paint)
 
Another point I have made all season! The Cavs waste 15-20!seconds of the shot clock running this “hand off” offense out past the three point line and then have to scramble to get a shot off!
And Mobley gets the ball too far away from the basket, he can't blow past anyone.
 
Sadly, our season's at an end. See you next year.

Or in the Guardians' threads.

It's cool, Cavs overcame your expectations and they get a moral victory for choking this game away.

We'll get over it quick knowing we have our pick back.
 
JBB absolutely had time to call timeout, immediately as Markk got the rebound I was yelling it at home.

Whatever, there are a million things to point out that JBB has fucked up this year.

I need to hear him take some blame for this loss to know he’s not Trump-level delirious. :chuckle:
 
Our offense is easy to defend because we only have one guy who can get his own shot. Now if Garland was as good as Young we could work with that. But he isn't.
 
No surprise. Been saying this is a lottery team since Feb. maybe next year it’s a playoff team but I count 7 teams ahead of Cleveland. It will be the play in next year as well.

The streak without Lebron lives on…
