Game Thread 2019-20 Season Game #12 | Cleveland Cavaliers vs Philadelphia 76ers | Nov 17th, 2019

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
This is more in line with the talent on this team.
 
Holy shit Z is here. The crowd in here started buzzing when they showed Z on the Jumbotron
 
For bad teams, you have to win games against better teams early in the season and we missed on a couple. That’s what was so shitty about the beginning of last year WITH veterans on the team. This game is showing how far we have to go but having 4 wins and being competitive early is a good sign. Last two games though, is brutal. We are not losing our pick this year. LOL!!
 
Well, this team sure has been a lot less competitive, since collapsing in Philly. Excitement, gone. This team can’t score OR defend. Beilein struggling to find rotations that work. Garland still can’t shoot. Clarkson still sucks. And everyone else is shrinking. I’m ready for more KPJ and some Windl3r. Right now, Sexton’s scoring is about the only grounds for encouragement.
 
Tobias Harris kept us in the game last time (by missing EVERYTHING) but now he is making everything, different game totally.
 
THE CAVS ARE TOO GOOD THEY ARE GOING TO LOSE THEIR PICK

Glad the 2nd week lunacy has faded
 
Because he can’t play with the same energy he use to which was his entire game.
What about that stuff Frank Thomas sales to improve performance, vitality, sex drive and energy?

Beilein has a hard time adjusting to teams with wing depth and alot of length. He seems to go with two guards when it's clearly not working. He needs to go to 1 guard, 2 wings, and 2 bigs or 1 guard, 3 wings, and 1 big. It might be easier when he has Windler to do that but he has KPJ, Cedi, and Mckinnie right now which is enough to at least go to wings at SG and SF.
 
What a crap-fest THIS ended up being...

When TT and Clarkson lead your team in assists, you are doing no business. When the opposition shoots 15% better than you overall, and from three, you are doing no business.

On to the next. Brutal road-trip coming up, starting tomorrow night in MSG.
 
Cavs desperately missing a facilitator at guard or on the wings, a real struggle to generate easy looks in the half court. I like Sexton, but... hard to shake the feeling he is going to be some set of fans Jordan Clarkson in a few years.

i don’t think he is as dumb or selfish as Clarkson, but I’m worried that his ceiling is The Microwave. The Microwave was a fine player and all, but not who I was really hoping for, with the Nets pick. Doncic, on the other hand...

Sexton has his faults but they need to keep developing him. I'm not sure how much longer they can play Garland and Sexton so much together. I think both need to develop more before they can really compliment each other.

He is a worker, from everything we hear the attitude is top class, the willingness to learn and improve is there, but his tunnel vision is worrying. I think you can offset his weaknesses if the balance is correct around him, a pity that Cedi lacks the playmaking ability to take some pressure off both Garland and Sexton. KPJ has shown some promising signs in that area of his game but it is a problem for the coaching staff, especially now that teams are on top of that Love/TT action that was so successful early.
