2018-19 Season Game #3 | Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Atlanta Hawks | October 21st, 2018 @ 6:00 PM

[Pioneer10]

Why are we playing Thompson at all? He's never going to get a 20 rebound game or anything like that would help his trade value. He's been in the league too long for teams not to know what they are getting with him

We're going to be bad: play Nance and Zizic

 

[Jontibs]

Cedi has been dogshit tonight. Of that there is no doubt.

Yes, pushing too hard, not playing under control. Started ok with some nice passing but has been too tense throughout.

 

[benchplayer]

No choice but to tank with lue at the helm

 

[KevinLoveFan]

Both teams look so pathetic right now. This isn't good basketball to watch. Horrid quarter.

 

[InBoobieWeTrust]

you know Cedi has had at least 8 possessions that he has killed by either being over aggressive or making bad decisions.

but you like cedi so he gets a free pass.

Well Cedi at least play hard every single night. He had two great games and his third game he's made some young player mistakes. That's how it goes with 2nd year guys especially international youngsters. But Osman's mistakes are usually as a result of him trying too hard, not as a result of just being constantly stupid.

You're comparing apples and oranges here.

 

[tocov]

We have so many just absolute idiots on the team it's scary.
JC, Dekker, Sexton, JR, Nance, Hood, TT are all low IQ players and they all play together in the same lineups a lot.

Edit: Forgot Lue.

 

[Jontibs]

Cavs played much better in both of the opening 2 losses against far better teams.

 

[blommen]

Listen,

I get that this is only the 3rd game of the season, but I feel like we need to capitalize on the opportunity that's in front of us. We're close to stealing a loss in a head to head with ATLANTA. Do you know how many tanking teams will kill to do that? This kind of opportunity doesn't come along often. I say we get 100% behind the tank after this and fully take advantage of the situation.

 

[letgocavs]

Save us Clarkson

 

[Rich]

Everyone too caught up on th3 players.

We run an absolute joke of a defensive scheme. Nothing else matters at all.

 

[InBoobieWeTrust]

Dekker about 5 seconds late on every rotation.

 

[NMCav]

Yes, pushing too hard, not playing under control. Started ok with some nice passing but has been too tense throughout.

I think he has been trying to do too much since its the home opener. At least I hope that's what it is. Just seems to be trying to do everything as opposed to going with the flow like he did the first 2 games.

 

[blommen]

Everyone too caught up on th3 players.

We run an absolute joke of a defensive scheme. Nothing else matters at all.

We can be pitiful at more than one thing, evidently.

 

[daytripper]

It's not Osman's night and he's trying to do too much out there..

Even the Hawk announcers can't get over Lue's horrid switching defense..

 

[InBoobieWeTrust]

Nance is about ready to strangle Dekker. Dude just got completely lost on the weakside help assignment twice in a row leading to easy lay-ups.
