Wade should start at the 3, LeVert should back up the 2, and Okoro shouldn’t get any minutes. Or else the rebounding will continue to be a problem.

The cavs need someone like Jr smith or Ron artist, someone who's not afraid to throw an elbow when teams play dirty.

Couldn't agree more. Would have put them in their place in the 1st quarter.

i agree here. they needed to have a reckless play back at the raptors.

Was just saying this in s34.

They need Tristan Thompson back, or a Draymond Green, or a Pat Beverly.

I don't see a player on this squad who is gonna take on that role, and you need someone to take on that role.

That honestly might be the reason to trade for Jae Crowder, tbh. And I hate Jae Crowder.

Amazing that Okoro STILL has not acquired a basketball skill. He’s STILL about as graceful as a cave troll from LotR, on offense.

Wade should start against teams with big forwards like the Raptors or Pelicans , but LeVert should start against the smaller teams.

I mean, Cavs are 18 months out from a championship window, right? Definitely the time to start looking at the roster and targeting traits for improvement.

Toughness
Shooting
Rebounding

…Are the problems right?

And the coach, apparently

Fans could use some work too.

Okoro played great defense. It's not his fault he was called for phantom fouls.

 

[All4One1ForAll]

Mitchell had to try again and again to bail us out because there’s just no spacing out there. Garland and Love are the only other real shooters we have.

 

[Muffinalt]

Too bad about the end. Rust and DG's injury did us in, but tons of positive signs. We are clearly better than Toronto because we have two gamebreakers on top of the depth.

Just have to iron things out (epsecially 3pt defense and rebounding) and we'll be cooking teams.

He got benched right after that air ball I wonder what his arch was lmaoo

I would guess it wasn’t 45 degrees …lol

Wait! Don’t say that! People believe that because he’s just 21 he’s going evolve into the next coming of Scottie Pippen. People what you see is what you are going to get!
If it quacks like a duck and walks like a duck then it sure as hell ain’t prime rib!
His role on this team is 7,8, or 9th man. Never a starter or any more than 10 min a game player.
