Quinn Snyder has to be worth 5 more wins alone this year

 

[KilgoreTrout]

Easy prediction: JBB gets canned and that'll be from the desk of Koby Altman

I’ll believe it when I see it.

 

[Jscc]

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

Then they're just going to fade out of the playoff picture. This is around the time teams start playing harder.

At a bare minimum.

Sounds like JBB was pulling all the right levers again?

All the levers had tired legs.

Lol, come back in a month. You will be surprised. The Cavs ain't playing that hard.

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

Because LeVert held Shai to 35 points

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.

I know it's hard for people to admit this, but Stevens, Osman & Wade are not quality players on a playoff team. We have 1 player on our bench is useful & he's coming off an ACL injury.

Night after night, dudes in their first season come in and cook our guys. Not one of those players above can reliable create points for themselves. Caris can dribble around and that's about it.

We need to move everyone of them with Okoro being the only hold over until you find a substantial upgrade.

The Cavs were up 78-71 with 2 minutes to go in the 3rd.

At 4:55 to go in the fourth, the Thunder took a 99-86 lead, their largest of the game and JBB decided that then, finally, he'd use a timeout.

He had 4 of them.

Just leave it at that.

I can’t believe how shit he is

It may be too late by then.

Again, your missing the point.

I'd argue that Wade could provide productive reserve minutes (not 26 like tonight) for a playoff team in a series.

Agree with pretty much everything else.

I'd cap him at 13 but he's gotta fun shoot. He almost immediately looks to pass unless completely wide open most of the time.

What is the point?
