2024-25 Season | Game #20 | Cavs @ Hawks | Nov. 29, 2024

[Dr. Claw]

And this is why tall 3 and D wings get payed

Healthy ones anyway

they get paid TOO much just for being tall (Jerami Grant comes to mind).

 

[Pierre Pan]

3rd quarter did us in again, outscored 39 to 23

 

[Pierre Pan]

Another spot-on presser from Kenny. “Our defensive effort was better” but they “outplayed us 1 through 15 and out-coached us”

 

[KilgoreTrout]

Just saw the score. What in god’s name just happened? Why can’t we beat this team of jabronis?

 

[Holden beach]

Terrible shooting by Mitchell. Allen looked like he was playing in slow motion.
Defensive play was poor.
Niang is not playable against certain teams, and the Hawks are one of them.
Deserved both losses. 100%

Still 17-3 though.

3rd quarter did us in again, outscored 39 to 23

Hated this game. Cavs did not spread the ball around and missed some easy chip shots.
Since they just the Hawks the other night , their defense should have been tighter but it was not..Hawks scored on too many missed assignments and inside the paint.

 

[ice cream man]

Everyone outside of JA played hard.
Okoro/Mobley/JA together is tough on the offense. Garland/Mitchell/Jerome is tough on our defense. Sound familiar?

Hawks’ length is a problem.

They all looked like they were playing slow motion..they needed a MOUNTAIN DEEEWWW..

Another spot-on presser from Kenny. “Our defensive effort was better” but they “outplayed us 1 through 15 and out-coached us”

Why did Kenny get outcoached?

What happened to Kenny being all-knowing? Is he off his game?

 

[kidduck]

KA said he has to look at tape of the 3rd quarter and figure out where it went south.

 

[kidduck]

The Hawks were very good making the one more pass plays that
consistently found a wide open shooter.

Hawks also really work those corner 3's.

 

[pinoycavsfan]

Zone defense has been scouted. Cavs too short that there are gaps in the zone defense that Hawks capitalize. Mobley has been jumpy on his contests in the paint. Stop jumping off of every fake and just be tall.

Plus, they hit the corner 3’s whereby we didn’t

 

[Green Lantern]

Worst game of the season thus far. Barely scored 100 and gave up a double digit loss.

I despise both losing to this team and the possibility that they may be a bad matchup with those 3 dickhead wings in their lineup.
that puts them on a list with the Craptors and others. Hate these tall teams that can shoot (AND get the benefit of the doubt from officiating so much on drives). What was some real bullshit is watching some ASS shooters from range (Daniels and Okongwu) getting end of shot clock contested 3s.... WTF?!!!

but this particular game, Donovan was BAD. He really should have been sat for as bad as he was playing. Shot horribly over all, took too long to get it going, busted the offense up taking 3s so early in the clock when the Cavs are down. Cavs bench despite a brief moment of Caris waking up on offense was putrid. Again, burned by the lack of options to keep Niang off the floor on defense. This team looks like the Pacers of recent in these situations.

I don't care what it takes. I would hope Koby and Mike send the goons to one of these GMs thinking everyone is gonna be like the Knicks and gift them a bunch of picks. This kind of BS can not go on.

I might be ready to put Dean Wade in the Dylan Windler box and ship him to Abu Dhabi if he keeps missing time like this. Need to see what Thor has, if the Cavs are gonna be on a losing streak.

January 30 is our last chance to beat their asses. Better have Max AND Dean back by then.

Well we could be taller if your GM would stop drafting 6'5 guys at the SF position..just saying..

Not gonna bother reading over the thread & I’m sure this has been touched upon, but we’re going to struggle with teams with length at the wings. Too many guards masquerading as SFs on this squad. Gonna have to be addressed asap…..
