Game Thread 2019-20 Season Game #61 | Cleveland Cavaliers vs Utah Jazz | March 2nd, 2020

I dunno how they only credited Porter with two turnovers that half but he had at least 4. He was not good.

Don’t get why we aren’t playing Wade and Mooney, it’s not like we’re fighting to make playoffs

especially when we're short

Also....I wanna give him time, but Bickerstaff has a problem with playing guys too many minutes. It's part of his job to figure out how to distribute minutes and still stay competitive. If his idea is to just play all of his best players big minutes in long stretches, then that's bad coaching in the NBA.

Four guys on pace to get over 40 minutes.

Play Wade. If he doesn't work, oh well. You lost a game in a season you're supposed to lose games.

Man Porter has sucked since the break.

One monster game and a bunch of real shitty outings.

Sexton been missing free throws lately....very unusual for him.

God I miss the Cedi from the first week of last season, he’s been beyond useless the last 3 or 4 games

17 win team playing a 7 man rotation in March.

This is dumb. Bickerstaff needs to be thinking bigger picture than this.

I can’t think of a single reason why you wouldn’t play Wade + Mooney... it’s the perfect opportunity to get a look at them for 15-20 mins in a live game scenario

Damn the Jazz are soft lol. We can win this game if we just pump up our EFFORT!!

Sexton and Love might need to will this team to a win...

 

[Rich]

Man Porter has hit a rookie wall and taken some steps back since the all-star break. Been pretty brutal offensively.

 

[Comeback kid]

There’s nine suited. And two that they won’t play!

Sure hope they don’t make an offer to Wade this summer.

 

[cabs]

So now you play them lol

Sexton been missing free throws lately....very unusual for him.

He said before the season that he wanted to get to 90% on free throws. I think he is trying to adjust his free throw shot to try to get there in the future.

Yea I can't excuse that. It's an 82 game season. You can't keep playing guys 15-20 minutes straight.

And then this tonight was just next level. Like...what's he trying to do? Secure his NCAA Tourney spot with a 7 man rotation? I don't understand. At all.
