I'd like to see them get Love more involved.

Getting an actual, capable back-up PG has helped too, I Think. So even when Garland is out Sexton isn't forced to be the guy initiating the offense every time down the court like he was before.

Man I'd love to get TJ McConnell this summer.

Until Delly came back, CEDI was essentially our third offensive initiator. And you couldn’t really even get mad at JB for it because what other options were there when Nance was also out.

McConnel would be awesome but I think he’ll get similar offer to what we can give him from more appealing teams

I too think Delly has worked wonders for Sexton being able to play his game and focus on attacking off the ball every minute he's on the floor.

Such a big part of getting guys to play better is putting them in positions where they don't have to think the game as much.

I really really like him off the ball and downhill all night

Another thing I’ve realized about DG this game too. He’s been speeding the tempo up. The Cavs should’ve always been a fast pace team. They’re too young not to get up and down the floor.

Garland shot looks butter.

Love also isn't forcing up shots like he was last year. He's shooting. But it's not just catch and hoist.

I dunno they must have had some kumbaya team meeting or something.

Horrible pass by Okoro.

 

[red.]

DG would have about 8/9 assist if they made those wide open shots. Cavs need somebody that can make wide open shots.

 

[Rich]

If Delly could shoot the ball he'd go and get someone else's MLE still with the way he plays the game.

 

[red.]

There it is Okoro.

 

[roozy]

Confident Garland eventually will be our best player.

 

[OptimusPrime]

Literally out of nowhere.

Playing w/o the ball and knowing how to get open is a lost art in the NBA and basketball in general.

Having good players who know how to do it and want to do it can honestly change the course of your team instantly.


If sexton becomes willing to do this every night then it completely changes the outlook and how he and Garland can coexist.

He looked just like this against Miami too. But they lost the game by 15 so no one really noticed but man. This is a different player.

He's flashed it before, and his efficiency numbers have always been good off the ball. It seems like they're making it a point of emphasis now, and it's about time.

 

[red.]

OK OKORO. NOW THATS WHAT I WANT TO SEE.

OKORO 3/3 from 3.

 

[MirORich]

What even is this?!

 

[Rich]

It's all working tonight.

Hartenstein looks like Jokic. Okoro shooting like Peja. Garland looks like Chris Paul. Sexton slicing like Jimmy Butler.

Taurean Prince looks like Bruce Bowen on defense.
