Game Thread 2019-20 Season Game #36 | Cleveland Cavaliers vs Minnesota Timberwolves | Jan 5th, 2020

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
You're overreacting, too early to make a call on Garland but they do need to trade Sexton
Ok we will garland till xmas to be a all star if not dump him. If he still sucks when he is 21 then move on

- Garland basically missed entire college career with injury vs Sexton who played entire college season
- Garland has played 30 odd NBA games vs Sexton has played 110 odd games

If Garland gets to around 150 NBA games with no sign of improvement and showcased he cant shoot, pass and defend then sure move on from him
 
I'd like to see Exum and Zizic get more minutes. Until Nance is ready to return I would play TT and Zizic at center with Love and Henson at PF. Since Cedi can't play 48 minutes I think we'll see a lot of three guard units with Garland, Sexton, Exum and Knight getting a lot of minutes.

Beilein said that he was happy with the way Knight played even though he didn't make the shots he's going to make in the future.

Delly only played four minutes and was a -10. The night before he only played 8 minutes. He averaged 13 minutes in December. You'd think with Porter moving to a starting forward position last night it would free up more time for Delly but Beilein went with Knight and Exum off the bench instead. I wonder if Beilein is getting tired of Delly's 3-pointers banging off the rim.

It's going to be even tougher sledding the next week or two with both Nance and Porter out, plus Clarkson having been traded. That kind of guts our second unit. It showed last night as the Cavs were outscored by 14 in the second quarter and lost by 15. Last week in Toronto they were outscored by 14 in the second quarter and lost by 20.

Zizic put up TT numbers last night - 15 and 12 in 25 minutes with a couple of assists and a steal. I'd like to see both of them in the same games against the same opponents.

Much easier to play Delly when Clarkson is out there. Now that he isn't and Porter is sidelined, we are def going to see more Brandon Knight just to get some points on the board. He can play with Exum and maybe that will be enough to at least maintain a bit.

Can Henson and Zizic play together? I have no idea. Pretty sure Zizic and TT look like crap from what I have seen before.

My guess while KPJ is out that Exum will be asked to play more SF. It might be a "right place, right time" kind of thing for Knight where he will get a couple weeks to showcase himself before the trade deadline. If Knight can step up, I think the team can let KPJ come back alittle slower and hopeful move Knight at the same time as KPJ comes back.
