Game Thread 2019-20 Preseason Game #2 | Cleveland Cavaliers vs Detroit Pistons | Oct 11th, 2019

Coach B has to evaluate people before the real season starts so I’m not upset at anything he did. Clarkson showed his coach his true colors and his two “wolves” really went away from the pack and became “lone wolves.” Clarkson and KPJ really got us out of rhythm. But hey, this is preseason.

Hopefully this is not a good indication of what's about to come and Beilein's in game coaching ability and sub patterns. Clearly he loves Clarkson and both Nance and TT. I hope he understands that his priority is to develop our young guys and not play his favorites in terrible lineups. I'm watching you old man.

I agree with everything you said. I think the organization looks at Nance as a long term piece. As for Clarkson, if he can make clutch end of game shots, it only gets his stock up and he will get shipped out quicker. Most teams want their 6th man or 3rd guard in their rotation to have the ability to play the end of games when needed.

TT was a beast at ripping down rebounds late in games at one point, that can be something real valuable to a team that might trade for him.

Martin played while Wade and the others didn’t, is he who they prefer for that 14th spot? I haven’t been that impressed with him tbh

I think the power forwards are banged up. Love isn't really battling in preseason, so I think they went with Martin, who has the most experience and is trying to earn a spot. I agree that he is not my fave..

Will be interesting to see what happens when Henson and Ante are back.. I would like to see a TT, Ante pairing low, to see if they could play together..

Went to the game last night. $12 center court in the mezzanine level was too good to pass up. A beer costs more than that.

Their arena is pretty good.

Dellevadova is washed. Him being out there at the end of the game cemented the loss.

Liked what I saw from Sexton on offense.

KPJ needs to shoot a lot of jumpers in practice. None of his attempts were close.

Did Garland hurt himself? Didn't get any run in the second half.

Our defense is going to get abused this year. Anybody who wants to get to the rim will get their wish.

Martin seemed pretty good defensively. He really sucks offensively though. No touch. His finishing is David Wesley bad. Yikes

We need to prioritize Bolden imo.

We need to prioritize Bolden imo.

The guy who really seemed to suck last night at the end of the game was Nance. Let guy go by him repeatedly near the rim. A bigger body might have been a better deterrent
