Game Thread 2019-20 Season Game #23 | Cleveland Cavaliers vs Boston Celtics | Dec 9th, 2019

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
This game should be way closer than it is. TT can't make FTs and we can't hit open 3s. Frustrating to be this inept shooting the ball.
 
Well could have been worse: Walker just at another level compared to our guards.

It's sad because I thought the team competed well defensively and offensively they played within the system and got open looks and moved the ball but...they can't shoot. From anywhere.
 
Theis has Sexton's number tonight. This is where I think some of the vets have a problem with Beilein. Make the adjustment in the rotation so Sexton doesn't have to go up against him.

I noticed that a lot of time our players are standing still making it hard to move the ball
 
Wish he had stuck with Porter and had a more natural point in Garland or Delly play with Porter and the starting frontcourt.

Porter seems to make good stuff happen and that would help the size problem we have. Odd ball: TT/Love look huge out there but then everywhere else we are small.

Beilein is simple missing pretty obvious adjustments. I think the vets are mad because if he is asking them to work on their craft, Beilein should be just as willing to do so too. It's a two way street more so in the NBA than in college.

Beilein's system was never going to 100% translate to the NBA. He needs to evolve it to fit the NBA.
 
Kevin Love looks frustrated as fuck
 
I tired of excuses with Garland...you can either shoot or you cant...he can't...
 
These young guys are just overmatched.
Garland got to hit open 3's: he doesn't have enough other ability to make him a threat unless he can shoot a high percentage
Sexton is just a mess offensively and defensively
Porter doesn't look bad but he needs more reps
 
Kevin Love looks frustrated as fuck

He scores on a postop, gets good position again, and then neither Garland or Sexton can get him the ball leading to a dumb shot by one of them

I think he doesn't like Garland running the point. He was giving a signal which looked like he was telling Garland to hurry up.

Garland eats up too much of the shot clock basically doing nothing. He needs to get the offense initiated faster and at least move with purpose. Too often he is just dribbling not looking to get the offense going and not looking to score himself.
 
The backcourt has to change.

Its not working and it's sucking the life outta the team. One of them has to head to the bench for, sigh, Delly.

This is on Beilein. The Celtics had one guard and 4 forwards on the floor. He isn't matching up and Garland/Sexton don't have an answer on offense to exploit them.
