Game Thread | Game #51 | Cavs @ Thunder | Jan. 27, 2023

This team is collapsing just like last season. This is the limit of a JBB coached team.

 

[WorldFreeB]

I just hope Levert is traded, I want him outta here at the deadline.

Caris was awful tonight and somehow got 38 minutes…why didn’t Cedi play over him for more minutes…

Decision to not pull the starters last night.

Rubio playing last night vs tonight

Just another game where JB is not the guy

 

[MattyIce8]

Maybe this has been mentioned, but from a team decision standpoint: why would we play Rubio against the horrific Rockets thus making him sit against the better thunder team? Like wouldn’t the team have wanted to flip flop that?

Allen looked like he was running with 200 lb weights on his legs. Somehow still had some nice dunks. Good news is clippers will be playing 2nd night of back to back, so will rest their entire team. Oh wait nvm just remembered about golden state last Friday.

 

[Stark]

Replace Okoro and LeVert's minutes with Wade, Osman, Stevens, and another 3 & D wing you get by trading those two and this is a vastly better team.

Thunder out scored us by over 20 points from 30 seconds before halftime to the end of the game. Just crushed us - our offense fell apart. If JBB says this is because we weren’t trying I’ll be pissed. We are not well coached on offense

Add in another team that shoots 50+% from 3

 

[Pierre Pan]

I know he had 9 assists, but LeVert should still give back his game check; talk about a player that you just can’t count on. I was going to state that he’s a model of inconsistency but he’s not….he’s pretty consistent at being lousy offensively. Every once in awhile , he gets in a zone (The Boston game) , but those games are far too infrequent.

Nope. Step up and do what??? Team was gassed and played rotten defense in the 4th. It led to panic which happens when you have little in the tank. Move on.

So we are just accepting defeat on any 2nd night of a back to back? Come on. Get that shit out of here.

 

[KilgoreTrout]

Sounds like JBB was pulling all the right levers again?

Not even, they were up 78-71 with two minutes left in third and next thing you know it’s like 88-81

More like 3/4. Look up the numbers, it ain't pretty

I'm shocked. Nice post.

Shooting 45/42/90 over his last ten games with 23/8 averages.

I'd argue Garland's nightly performances are the least of our concerns when our starting two guard was 1-12 tonight.

he had a straight up Ben Simmons statline. And his defense is ass for what he's supposed to provide. Time to go to Dallas.
