Okoro doesn’t just provide nothing, he’s routinely a net negative.I just can’t tell if we played a game just now in the gutters, or if we played better and Charlotte just played over their heads. I suspect a bit of both.
Concerned at the talent drop off after the top 4. Rubio will help but there is a chasm there. Reality is setting in for me, this is a fun but flawed roster that desperately needs a solid wing.
Fun enough win I guess but I mean… it should not have been this difficult.
While Charlotte is struggling this season, remember they were the other play-in team last season. They have some talent; too good to be 4-13.Wow feels good to get the w but 2ot agaisnt a hornets team not good
And we’ve only played 15 games - a disturbing trendSo to recap
We've now blown massive leads late against the Wizards, the Clippers, and now the Hornets.
Two of those teams suck. One of them was missing their best player.
Up 7 against the Wizards, with the ball, and a minute and 10 seconds left. Overtime.
Up 10 with 2:39 left against the Cliippers, lose in regulation.
And now this one, which probably takes the cake. Up 10 with 50 seconds left. OT.
A lot of this I put on the guards. DG and Mitchell are All-Star guards who need to polish off late leads.
The coaching can and should be better but both of those guys need to get open and demand the ball late.
A lot of lazy running through the motions cuts and being content forcing an inbounder to find a release valve. That doesn’t cut it in the NBA.
I hate putting minute miles on guys like this but seeing how DG and Mobley responded was incredibly encouraging.
But no draft capital to spend on said acquisition.Sure, and Rubio will drive offense.
But it’s clear this team MUST go find another shooter. I don’t think it can wait for the deadline. We need a 40% movement shooter.
Kennard, Grayson Allen, Duncan Robinson, any and every shooter on the market we need to check in on.
Not true.But no draft capital to spend on said acquisition.
I think we need Wade more than I thought. Cedi should be getting more minutes, especially this time of year, especially with Wade out.Okoro doesn’t just provide nothing, he’s routinely a net negative.
2 wing spots absolutely wasted on Okoro and Windler. Stevens is fine but shouldn’t need to play 30 minutes ever.
Wade is a significant upgrade from all of them but that only fixes so much… and Cedi getting only 7 minutes when the bench sputtered yet again?
Yet in the end, Rozier missed his last 6 three pointers and was 11-33 overall for the night.This team does not communicate on defense!
Come on Cavs…..this 8th grade and HS bullshit! Call out “pick right pick left”, “switch”, “slide through”!!!!! We leave too many open looks at the basket. How did we come out of a time out and not account for Rozier allowing him to hit the shot to send the game into OT????????
