Do Not Sell My Personal Information
No Love in the 4th and comeback looked capable

I laid it out as a couple of different possible scenarios but you choose to answer just one element.

Do you or do you not think Okoro sucked in todays game?

You know I'm not the biggest Okoro fan but that's only when he's not performing. But Okoro has not been an issue as a player in the last month or so. Or at least the biggest. Love, Stevens and Cedi have been. But I don't think any of them have been put in the position to play their best basketball. The lineups have been extremely poor.

I know we’re not going to see eye to eye on this but the biggest part of the lineups being poor is stable of wings and Love being so washed this season.

Koby did a good job of assembling the top level talent on this team but its all concentrated at lead guards and bigs.

The wings are all some combination of one dimensional, inconsistent, or both.

It has to be remedied over time no matter who the coach is.
 
after we blew the Minnesota game this was an important win. With tough games against Memphis on the road, Milwaukee, and the Knicks on the road we were in danger of sliding down toward the play in

Where’s caris?

He was rightfully benched due to poor defense. He can’t stay in front of guys and isn’t strong enough to hold his ground against wings. And he can’t avoid fouling jump shooters.

More of a coaching thing on offense. Seems Caris and Rubio are in the second unit together and Cavs’ plan is to have the other guys (including Garland today for a stint) stand at the 3pt line while Caris “goes to work.” Caris can get plenty of (better) opportunities to attack in an actual offense where multiple guys are touching the ball each possession, as opposed to iso ball.
 
I just saw the stat that the Cavs lead the league in number of comeback wins when down by 10 points are more. One explanation is that we never give up. But I think a better explanation is that we are more talented than a lot of teams, and our lackadaisical approach gets us in big holes, until we get focused. It doesn't always work, and we've lost a lot of games we should have won. We have also won a lot of close games against under-manned teams.
 
People bashing Okoro needs to stop and I use to thrash him big time. Love is worse than Okoro at beginning of the year and people are not bashing him as much
 
LOL! I didn't realize this was a matinee game. I missed it entirely. I'm watching it now, aware of our 10-point victory. I'll give my impressions after each quarter. I know the final score, but not who starred.
 
Cavs closed the first down 1. We look pretty mediocre; not hitting from 3, but crushing them inside. We gave up 25, which is actually good defense.

Allen and Mobley are the stars of the first quarter.
