Okoro finally looking decent to my eyes. Them haymakers hitting tonight. Get to 30!

 

[2 For The Brew]

All I want to see from the fan base is acknowledgment when a kid they don't like is improving at the things they say he can't do.

What is it with people and their total unwillingness to admit they're wrong on the internet? It's ok. Nothing comes of it.

Sexton has played an excellent game tonight.

This is a really good performance from him and Okoro while getting, honestly, very little help.

I’ve been boosting Okoro all season but frankly I don’t care if anyone acknowledges him. Kid’s a rookie playing more minutes than any other rookie. He’s been improving all year and lately he’s been getting better on offense.

Okoro even when he hasn’t played well has been above average finisher all year. I don’t have stats to back that up, but he can finish.

They can't stop him!

Bickerstaff just did though

Yeah I honestly don’t see how people don’t see the incremental growth in Sexton, Garland, and Okoro.

I get being frustrated with team building choices and with the overall record, but we simply can not take a snapshots of players in their first 3 years in the league and refuse to budge off those snapshots as young inexperienced players get more comfortable as their experience reps increase,

Even before the draft his finishing was something that was supposed to be a strong point. It's one of the things that excited me about him because so many otherwise good young wing players struggle because they can't get easy baskets.

Because of us only having 8 guys tonight, and one being the Kabangele guy, we HAVE to take timeouts like that or Okoro and Sexton will literally be spent with 6 minutes left in the game

edit. I see he actually took him out of the game for a breather but again, he was leading the team in Minutes played by a wide margin and if he didn’t get a small breather, he’d have played all 24 minutes of the second half and completely be spent in crunch time.

Wasn't getting calls was one thing.

Yeah he did look tired

 

[Cavatt]

Bad sequence. Cavs just make too many mistakes as a young team to close games like this. Really fun game.

Just hard to watch them almost do it

 

[mhi]

Okoro always looks so much better at the 2. It's criminal that we've forced him to the 3 this whole year.

If we pick up another ball-handling wing in the Top 5 of the draft, we need to seriously think about moving either Garland or Sexton, so this kid can play his natural position. Maybe he'll fill into his body with time, but for now and his development he should be at the 2.

 

[Cavatt]

Okoro responsible for 67% of points in the 4th so far.

That pass to Allen is a high level passes off the left hand.

Wow. 27 and 7???

 

[mhi]

Too much Cedi right now...

 

[red.]

The whole Cavs team needs to work on them handles. Cedi should’ve taken Aython off the dribble instead of that air ball.

 

[Nphan]

What has good into Okoro. Geez.
