2023-24 Season | Game #65 | Suns @ Cavs | March 11, 2024 | 7:30 p.m.

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Don’t know why we fouled so early. If you have a good defensive possession you have a shot to tie or win. If you blow it your in the same situation as fouling essentially.

When I checked into the game, we were down 4 and Garland was 7/9 for three. I never saw him shoot one until it was too late. This is a Darius problem for sure, but my God the coach needs to tell our leading scorer to hunt his fucking shot!

Would have been a nice win, instead it was a gritty loss. Never gonna see that 2 seed again I’m afraid.

am I watching different game ? People are criticizing Garland for that wide open oop? His basketball IQ? Huh.

Garland had a great game. When the Suns double teamed, we did not adjust. They blitzed Garland causing not to get Garland in position to make a move or score. It was the same thing over and over. The last play Garland made was great to Allen but Allen unfortunately could not grab the ball. I have yet to see adjustments made when opposing teams blitz our guards offensively.
 
Going to be another tough one Wednesday night on the road... Looks like we might be close to full strength Saturday...
 
Not the worst loss we've had all things considered. Shorthanded Cavs vs surging team with 2-3 all stars.
 
LeVert’s 11 assists to Garland’s 5 , alone tells you he’s not either passing enough or being successful enough with his passes
 
I don't usually comment on losses, but I must recognize these performances:

LeVert 17-6-11 with a steal in 33 minutes. He could have played 3-5 more minutes.
Garland 30-2-5 with a steal in 36 minutes. 10-17 fg, 7-10 from 3.
Porter 13-6-1 in 22 minutes. 5-7 fg He could have played 10-15 more minutes.

His ball iq because he’s had like half a dozen opportunities to get better in the clutch but he hasn’t. Had like 3 damn turnovers from trying to do too much. Move the ball. He’s not that guy to just be holding everyone hostage

Dude,

He threw a wide open alley opp to Allen and he bobbled it. He threw a pass to a wide ass open pass to Okoro and he didn’t know where his feet were and stepped OOB.

It was not the most solid pass to JA but yeah JA has to corral that. JA has no drive though. No urgency. Wasn’t ready to go full force on that play.

It would be even better if we had a point guard who doesn't make risky passes late in games.........................................

Okoro needs to know where he's at on the floor, but Garland also threw a pass to a guy standing out of bounds. Just a very bad lack of awareness by both guys on a crucial possession in crunch time.

What in the world is this? How is garland being blamed for this. So bizarre

The adjustments don't exist.
