Will the Cavs get to 80 tonight? Maybe playing Osman some more will help.

I find it hilarious that we get a close-out foul but the team been sending tapes to the league about opponents doing it to Sexton but somehow we don't get those calls..funny how that works.

Cavs up by seven at halftime and the Lakers go on a 19-2 run to start the third quarter. Obviously they had a meeting in the locker room and decided they just weren't going to lose at home to the Cleveland Fucking Cavaliers, LeBron or no LeBron. They came out with focus and intensity and smacked the Cavs around in the 3rd quarter, outscoring them by 18 in a 14-point win.
Montrezl Harrell played like a man against boys, scoring 24 points, all on dunks and free throws, in 30 minutes. I said he was like Zion Lite but he looked like the real thing tonight. The Cavs are a finesse team across the board and when they encounter a physical player like this he cuts through them like a knife through butter. The Cavaliers priority in this draft has to be getting more physical. No more finesse guys.
The O-brothers did another vanishing act tonight. Osman and Okoro combined for 12 points, 3 rebounds, and 1 assist in 50 minutes. Cedi was 1-for-5 on 3's. I have no idea why he is in the rotation at all. He's made 2 of his last 21 attempts from deep and is shooting a mind-boggling 25.9% from the field in March. That's not 3-pointers. That's all shots. Yet Bickerstaff has him in the starting lineup. We have no chance playing 4-on-5, JB.
Nance showed up with a line of 17/10/5 but he picked up his 4th foul early in the fourth and had to come out, which contributed to the 19-2 Lakers run which lost us the game. Garland had an off night, shooting 6-for-17. He was outplayed by Dennis Schroder who put up 17 points with 7 assists and 4 steals after playing 39 minutes last night.
The Cavs' bench was outscored 55-30 despite two Lakers bench players having to start due to the injuries to LeBron and AD. Gasol only played 15 minutes so it was like the Lakers were missing three starters. Bickerstaff gave Brodric Thomas a good look, playing him for 20 minutes, but he was 0-for-7.
The Cavs shot an embarrassing 5-for-26 on 3's. If they make only 10-for-26 that's 15 more points in a 14-point loss. The Cavs are now 5-0 when they shoot over 30% on 3's and 1-9 when they shoot under 30% since Drummond was benched.
The Cavs desparately needed Sexton tonight as they shot only 38.8% from the field.
