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

[benchplayer]

Collin Sexton has gone like 6 or 7 straight possessions without even touching the ball.

We need to change coaches before they fuck this kids head up.

He cannot play in between Hood and Clarkson if we want him to succeed. It's suicide.

the freedom that trae has is what lue should be giving sexton.

 

[InBoobieWeTrust]

I like how we play our best line-ups like 4 minutes a half and then go right back to what we know is not going to work.

 

[Soar]

Why does Nwaba not play?

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

Disagree if your Atl fan: Trae Young looks like a smaller version of Steph Curry out there.
I think good teams will force him to play D but the dude has a nice jumper and vision. His dribble looks tight as well

I agree 1000%. I think you'd be seeing a lot more of the special flashes Collin showed in college and summer league and pre-season....but he needs the ball. He needs reps. He's going sometimes 8-10 possessions standing in the corner watching Rodney Hood and Jordan Clarkson play 1 on 1. It's inexplicable.

 

[KevinLoveFan]

Everyone too caught up on th3 players.

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

I know. I've seen better defensive rotation, movement, intensity, and energy at the local Y. It's almost unbelievable how inept the Cavs are. We saw glimpses last season, and I know we ranked toward the bottom, but it's gotten even worse.

Team came out strong in the first quarter. It's not that the Cavs are incapable. But defense is not there. 40 points in a quarter to the Hawks. Whatever other individual issues we have, they pale in comparison to the lack of team defense.

 

[tocov]

Comes back with same lineup.

 

[Tornicade]

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.

no im looking t the game and why its unfolding the way it had.

Cedi is making critical errors on multiple possessions and we are losing the battle between rookie point guards.

Meanwhile Tristan is on his way to a double double and Nance isn't playing at full strength

 

[redscoon]

If Hue and Lue were both dangling over the edge of a cliff, whose fingers would you step on first?

 

[benchplayer]

Heres an idea, why not put zizic on len?

Tristan has been one of the worst big-man defenders in the league this season and tonight has been the worst game yet. I don't give a fuck about his double double.

 

[Soar]

This is legit some of the worst basketball I've seen in the last 8 years.

Yes, 8 years.

 

[Phil Mixtape]

Why does Nwaba not play?

For real, i watched damn near every Bulls game last year and dude can play. Honestly he's better than most of the guys that were already on the team before they signed him.

 

[Pioneer10]

Fucking Young has a nice game: despite him going off beautiful swing pass to Hurder there. Terrific decision

 

[red.]

Lue is an idiot. Back to fucking ISO ball.

PLEASE FIRE LUE. This is unbearable.

Sexton on a leash. IDK why the fuck he isn't starting. HES THE FUTURE. Hill not!
