Game Thread 2019-20 Season Game #29 | Cleveland Cavaliers vs Memphis Grizzles | Dec 20th, 2019

Also shout out to the bigs for some really good rebounding in traffic, against a bigger team. Really kept them off the offensive glass with some mansized rebounds. Team is playing hard right now on both sides. Closing out well, even though the Grizzlies made threes.

Delly just has to play more. He gets people where they need to be, even if he can't make a shot anymore.

Sexton definitely got benched, he's usually playing in this unit with our new lineups... let's see how he reacts in the 2nd half.

I don't mind Beilein sitting Sexton when Clarkson is playing that hot. Clarkson could go cold in the second half and Sexton could get hot. It actually could gives the young guys more meaningful minutes because we might actually stay in this game and they won't have a second half being down big which is basically garbage minutes.

If Love could knock down these wide open threes, I'd feel a lot better about his trade value.

 

[catfish]

I think he had 2 fouls.

Also smart of Beilein to ride Clarkson when he is hot. It will inflate his numbers and a good coach should be able to manage Clarkson's hot and cold play to maximize him. His numbers have been down this year, we need them higher for trade value.

TT is so weak inside

Sexton...two touches and he's tried to score (and missed) both times... am counting

Edit: Had a hockey assist to Cedi.. then next two touches went back to trying to score in traffic. Got to the line on his last attempt. Now 1-9.

 

[Rich]

I'll say it again but our bigs are rebounding really well tonight. Good, solid effort.

 

[Jake]

Good game so far, some nice play by our guys

 

[cabs]

Cedi has been shooting corner threes well

 

[Rich]

Zero awareness from Porter Jr. there.

 

[cabs]

Well, Sexton is horrific.

 

[WorldFreeB]

Surprised Clarkson hasn't been back in by now.

 

[cabs]

More Henson + Clarkson. Less TT + Sexton

 

[Rich]

Don't get the rotations this half at all.

Why stick with Sexton and Thompson when Clarkson and Henson were playing so well in the first half? Tristan is still a black hole when he gets the ball and is just forcing shit up and Sexton has been atrocious all over the court .
