Do Not Sell My Personal Information

I personally don't like the approach that Beilein has taken the last couple games. He has stuck Sexton on the bench to not bring him back in the 4th quarter in these blow outs. He needs to adjust his lineups when they go down big. At least give it a try with your best players to come back. His rotations just create a lay down approach to these kind of games.

I'm not sure they're the "best" players. They just start.

I mean Sexton, TT, and Love are this teams best players at the moment. You have to ride Sexton alittle bit more when Love is out. Just having him play 26 minutes after he had a 13 point in the first half isn't good game management.
 
Like I said, saying you’ll get these players to move the ball and actually doing it are 2 very different things

And Zizic is +14. I don't think +/- is a good start to compare guys tonight.

its a bad stat to use for zizic but its a good stat for sexton and garland because they were playing when the scored were tied at 0-0 and then returned when the bench brought the deficit back to 7, zizic played when the game was over

why do people act like sexton/garland taking 22 shots and making 3 assists is not the biggest concern for the cavs, the starters combined for 9 assists and 15 turnovers and i guarantee that is because the guards are setting that tone

+/- tonight was more on bad lineups, rotations, and game management by Beilein. He sticks with things that aren't working and allows runs to happen.

TT was pretty bad tonight about hanging on to the ball.

Sexton and Garland are young but you need to let them grow. Sticking Sexton on the bench for all of the 4th quarter doesn't help him develop. He scored 31 on the knicks just last week and had 13 points in the first half tonight.
 
Aaron Holiday looks more promising than sexton

yeah exactly, he stuck with sexton and garland and allowed the bad runs to happen

if you want sexton to play more then you want a 30-40pt loss
 
The Knicks were +12 on turnovers and +9 on the offensive boards which were frequently converted. They were also made their free throws. Other than that, we were competitive.....?

Yep. It’s a big mans game STILL!! Don’t have big men, you lose.

Like @Cavatt said earlier, the Knicks have depth in one area and that's is PF.

The lack of PF depth for the cavs really showed tonight. It also doesn't help that we have so much depth at guard and only have 3 healthy wings. It means we just have to play undersized constantly thru out the lineup.
