Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Serious question, how long until Sexton is a superstar? His scoring and efficiency is fantastic and his court vision/passing is continuing to improve. Really don't think it's that far off until he's averaging at least 28/6
 
There was no negatives about this game. The Cavs played a great game all around. Good win for this team.
Are you kidding??? The Astros barely tried on defense. They sucked. It was a bad game awarded a win by a bad team. Cavs have been lucking out pretty badly lately. I see a some payback coming.

4-0 when Wade in starting lineup

Have to admit Wade has played pretty good defense too.

This cant be overstated.

He keeps the ball moving, he hits the glass, plays solid team defense and TAKES and makes open 3's (2-4) when the guards get collapsed on

He's a really smart selfless player in the same mold of Larry with his IQ. Those 4 yr big men who play the game the right way can really impact the game in a league full of selfish underdeveloped perimeter players
 
And it looks to me he has a lot more in him. I don’t want him to step out of his role and become a volume scorer, but I think he can become more than just a spot up 3 shooter

He’s best creating off the drive. But they don’t want him to. SMH

I bet they loosen the reigns on him as they gain confidence in what he can do. It seems like the guys are given quite a bit of freedom.
 
The Rockets are in the pit of despair the Cavs were just in. Playing like the worst team in the league with zero direction.

They were a totally different squad with Christian Wood.

But give Colin Sexton a team that doesn't have any type of rim defense and he can have a field day like that.
 
Can't believe i'm saying this, but sexland outplayed 2 all star guards
 
They laughed at me when I said we were going streaking after GAME 32. But even back then, I could feel it in the AIR.. :chuckle:

Indiana is coming down. We will ride this high into the All-Star break BABY!!

 
Ugly win but I'll take the W. Ugly as in 19 turnovers and 10-for-30 on 3's. But Sexton poured in 39 including a couple of big 3's as the Cavs separated in the 4th quarter.

Houston got 52 points from Oladipo and Wall and 38 from the rest of the team as the Cavs played pretty good defense in holding them to 90 points.

McGee had a nice game off the bench with 10 points, 5 boards, and 3 blocks in 17 minutes. He loved playing against that small lineup. Cedi had 11 points and 5 rebounds in 20 minutes.

The Cavs started out 4-for-18 on 3's but then made 6 of their last 12 to separate. They held the Rockets to only 40 points in the second half. It looked to me like Wall got tired after scoring 23 in the first half. He was held to 9 in the second. He played 40 minutes and was still gamely trying to bring the Rockets back in the 4th quarter, but had little support from his teammates.

The Cavs had some problems when they put Okoro, Stevens, and Wade on the floor with McGee because none of them can create their own shot. That's why Sexton is so valuable. He scored 39 plus dished out 8 assists. He breaks down the defense.

Okoro took eight shots and scored five points with one rebound in 33 minutes. Wall pretty much took him to the cleaners on defense as well.

Wade did a great job defending and rebounding and was second highest on the team at +14. He's one of those guys who quietly contributes without stuffing the stat sheet.

Windler has now missed six straight 3's after making nine in a row. He's either red hot or ice cold, but he once again displayed strong rebounding and he keeps the ball moving on offense. He was second on the team in rebounding despite playing only 19 minutes.

I disagree with whoever said the Rockets weren't playing defense. They had 13 steals and were very aggressive the entire game.
 
You’ll hopefully see that Wade can create off the bounce if encouraged too.
