Game Thread | 2021-22 Season | Game #7 | Cavs @ Suns | Oct. 30, 2021

they still are far away from winning a playoff series evident by these last 2 games.
Suns were just coasting until half time.
I like the Cavs fight in this half though despite the game being basically out of reach since 3 minutes into the 3rd.
Happy to see JBB finally dipping deeper into the bench but he is still not optimizing these line ups smh

He didn't dip deeper. He forfeited early in the 3rd quarter. Instead of running the starters into the ground he ran the backups of backups for like 15 minutes straight lol.

Cavs were 'only' down by 12 with like 5 mins left. I've never seen a team throw in the towel in that situation.

 

[benchplayer]

So let me get this straight, JBB is sending a message for something that's his fault by not playing some of these guys in the first play?

 

[Soar]

Dean Wade hasn't run this much since Comeback Kid was blowing the whistle at him in 6th grade.

 

[Sir'Dom Pointer]

This shit feels scripted lmao

 

[Jscc]

Conclusions: Give Wade minutes, sprikle in some Windler at times, Fire JBB. Not hard.

I liked some of what I saw from Wade.

Definitely a weird one.

It's as if he just realized the team was tired and decided to play the bench dudes ALL THE MINUTES in the 2nd half, instead of trying to spread it out earlier.

I can't explain it.

He delviers every time for a role player. You can't ask for more. 10 minutes is not much at all. He provides balanced game through defense and spacing. I don't get it.

Garland and Sexton with 12 turnovers combined. Just unacceptable. One night they look like we might have something brewing and then something like this folllows. It’s unfortunately been the pattern of this team with them two on it. They need to break that pattern if we ever want to be a truly good team

 

[Ozone]

just put Tacko in already

 

[red.]

Windler need fucking minutes. Damn. All you had to do was play him along with Cedi

 

[Rich]

Rubio was extra awful tonight too.


Points that maybe all three were tired. I dunno.

 

[redscoon]

Not a good look for JBB tonight. Ran the regulars into the ground until the game got out of hand and then wholesale subbed and the bench got us back into the game.

Have to find a way to get Wade some minutes. He is one of about 2 guys on the team that can consistently knock down a clean 3.

Good signing by Koby in Valentine. A gem, really.

Holeee fuck, JBB takes a timeout then comes back with not only Cedi and Valentine running the show, but Lamar as well. Oh well, JBB never intended to try to win after halftime. But then why bring in Lauri and Garland?
