Thoughts on the rotation change?

 

[WiggyRuss]

at least Herro is playing his ass off....38% from 3 47% from the field is pretty good.....not sure about his defense but hes been productive at least.

 

[WiggyRuss]

LeVert is so damn streaky......on nights where he gives you very little--- and with Okoro giving them basically no scoring (and "basically" being kind)- they need Osman to step up......

if they get either LeVert or Osman to score on a nightly basis- they are fine- but if both arent scoring- they can get into trouble being too reliant on Garland and Mitchell- esp. if one of them is off.

Yeah herro, jimmy, and bam doing what they supposed to. Lack of bench production and not finding a starting pf are the 2 biggest issues. 2 of your besr bench players from last year is now starting

its kinda what I worry about the Cavs- you cant pay everyone....LeVert and Love are up after this season.....

cap is rising- and Allen signed up for a long time on a very reasonable deal helps---- but you gotta make choices at some point. Its why its so important to keep developing guys that are cheap and can play......Osman and Wade have been pretty good finds for the Cavs.

Garland starting really slow....his first back to back......and they were in LA all day......hmmmm......

not gonna be an easy one.

I dont expect the Cavs to go 5-0 on this road trip- but 4-1 would be nice....if they could get tonight it would go a long way to getting there.

Maybe Lebron was recruiting him?

 

[WiggyRuss]

Clips a tough matchup for the Cavs with the size in their back court.....

 

[WiggyRuss]

Maybe Lebron was recruiting him?

prob. the other way around. lol.

LeBron like- "you really need Mobley? cmon.....Lakers would take that in a second!- cmon Spida make it happen"

 

[trojanfan12]

Nah, Lebron already knows about trying to recruit guys to Cleveland. lol

39 points for Jayson Tatumvp

and 2 blocks he's averaged 1.4 on the season

13 freethrows a game on celtics 3 game winning streak

easily could be a 6 game winning streak if it wasn't for two tough OT losses vs cavs

primed for another deep playoff run, only team i see in his way is a healthy bucks team.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Clips 11 of 19 from 3......yeeshh....if that continues there is no way they win this one.

PG13 is on fire. Luckily Mitchell is as well. Gotta ramp up the defense

what about the team that got you twice in OT? Cavs are young and should only get better as the season goes on too....Mobley is just gonna keep improving.....they wont win 8 out of every 9 games- but Mobley is 21, Garland 22, Allen 24 , Okoro 21, Mitchell 26, Osman 27, Wade 25......Rubio will be back in January....LeVert has less than half a season of games with the team....

 

[WiggyRuss]

Garland just got his bag....5 years 193....Mobley, Garland are gonna be Cavs a long time.....Mitchell has 3 years under contract....Allen under contract 4 more years.....all still young- Mitchell by far the oldest at 26.....could see this Cavs core together a long time....

I know that whoever was out there the first half didn't play any defense per usual this year. Like I said, just mailing it in so far.

speaking of mailing it in Lakers are about to give up 130+ if this pace continues

 

[WiggyRuss]

well its getting late....im off to bed- ill see who won in the morning.....thinking they are due to take an L but we shall see.

 

[msgkings322]

SO LONG to go......

most of November
December
January
February
March
some of April

literally almost 5 months of regular season left. Its crazy. Were like what? about 10%-12% through the season?

Curry, Klay and Draymond are starting to age though- and Wiggins, Poole, etc--- they can be solid players and important---- but the Warriors are those 3. Its not gonna last forever.

No doubt, nothing lasts forever. 4 might be it....it's not like they were favored to repeat or anything.

It's interesting what they are trying, compete but also develop very raw guys. Kuminga and Wiseman literally did not play college ball. Might be good again in a couple years, who knows? Maybe even later this year, just no effort so far.

 

[Shanemansj13]

This is ridiculous. It feels like the Clippers can’t miss. Every time I think it’s going in lol

Yeah cavs will be a tough matchup but still very young. If Tatum can guard Mitchell most of the series, I like our chances.
