He could pass at times too... chances are very low for both.

Yeah I like the odds of that better with him out there with the starters. Even if he just brings the ball up and give it to Lebron that would work.
Don't understand that kid. Like Kyrie he actually makes things harder on himself because defenders just sell out on him knowing he isn't passing the ball.

I liked his floor game in the first few games.
We also don't really present him with good passing opportunities. When he isos he is usually attacking single coverage and the defenders usually stay home.
This has to be on the coaching to a very large degree.
His assist per 36 is down from 5 to 2.7 and his AST% is down from 22.8% to 11.8%.
Hoods game has completely changed as a Cavalier compared to how he was featured in Utah, and Clarkson has become much more Iso heavy.
Sure, Clarkson is by nature not the most willing passer, but not nearly close to this extent.
This just smells of Be Aggresive mantra imo, and obviously our offensive scheme doesn't really help him.

LeBron will play point and should defensively do fine. Simmons isn't a John Wall that will blow by or a Stephen Curry that will run him through screens.

Id let Hood be the secondary ball handler in the first unit behind LeBron. Then if Cedi is inserted into the lineup, I'd let him split handling the ball with Clarkson in the 2nd unit.

I would imagine this has something to do with thinking we will face the Raps in the Conference Finals.
Drew said they started Green against the Raps, in part, because of his ability to guard DeRozan. Or to help against DeRozan. Something.
With Kyrie down maybe Lue is thinking we need to start planning for a Raptors conference finals series?
Lue does make certain changes and tweaks specifically for the postseason, I believe. Not sure if that's what's going on here.

It feels to me because he thinks it's a better matchup against the Warriors, more so than the Raps.
Nance should start against the Warriors and matchup against Durant. Love on their center and Lebron on Green. Green hasn't been a good defender for us. It's a myth...and the fact that he is long doesn't mean that he is going to be a good matchup against Durant and be a good team defender against the Warriors starting lineup.

I hope we get booted out of the postseason as soon as possible so we can flush this piece of shit.
Lue I'm glad your health is improving but I fucking hate you and the sooner you're out of Cleveland the better off everybody including you will be.

Wishful thinking. Our other players would have to die before Z would get meaningful minutes.
Tune in next year to watch him - if he is not traded in the off season.

So we traded for Nance and Clarkson and both of them are going to be bench players playing 20 minutes at best in the playoffs. Great.
It's a huge blunder if Nance plays less than 30 minutes in the playoffs, and it looks like he is going to be closer to 16 than 30.
You don't win with your bench in the playoffs, and our starting lineup is quite underwhelming. The trade was bad if this our starting lineup going forward.

I do think he did a great job on Harden, and he did pretty well on Durant as well. Nance on Durant might work, but I don't think I like him guarding Durant shooting 3's. It is a tough call, and the margin for error means you need to figure it out game 1.
