2018 Preseason Game #1 | Cavaliers @ Celtics | October 2nd, 2018 @ 8:00 PM

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Can we give Sexton the ball?

#24 sucks. Idiotic pass. Just stupid.
 
Zizic has been playing with a bunch of bums, but he still has 4 points, 5 rebounds, 2 blocks and 1 steal in 11 minutes. That's not a bad line.

Give him a run with actual NBA guys.
 
Sexton nice pass. Taylor sucks.
 
Kobi Simmons started 12 games last year for Memphis and played 32 overall averaging 20+ minutes a game.

...

Yikes, Grizz (I see that tank!)

*Edit*
You know, on further reflection, I'm being way too harsh towards Simmons play. He's really young and does have some ability. Can't judge a guy based off one game (and he wasn't exactly surrounded by the best teammates he could be) I hope he continues to develop and just plays hard. If/when George Hill/JR is traded, he may have a chance for some guard minutes. But with Sexton, Hill, Clarkson, Hood, Nwaba, JR on the team, I don't see him getting much time unless there's blowouts or he outplays a portion of the above/injuries.
*End edit*

Seriously though, it was a fun preseason game. On to the next. Maybe next time Boston.

Well overall I enjoyed it.
A lot to be excited about. Cedi is a great talent and noticeably lifted a lot of heavy things in the off season, Love is feeling good, the team overall has very good energy to it.
Nwaba really surprised me, he was terrific. I hope we can see Zizic play with NBA level talent in the next few games, rather than guys trying to fight for a contract. He started all over the place, but got better as the game progressed and put up a nice stat line overall.

Great stuff.
 
Yeah, I don’t see the point in starting George Hill over Collin Sexton.

He’ll take over sooner than later.

I like the new Cavs offense. All that movement!

I don’t see these rotations lasting long. Nwaba is going to make Lue give him minutes with his play.

Again, I hope Lue experiment with the lineups during preseason. Might as well see what ya got.
 
Billy looks awful.

I think he needs time to transition. He doesn't have the size advantage that he had in high school. I think he is a SF and will have to work on using his quickness under control.

He got better every summer league game. It will need a good mix of G-league and some NBA time to work his game out.
 
Hill, Korver & TT will likely be showcased until the deadline. They wont hurt us but they will come at the cost of minutes to the young guys. I wont lose sleep over it if we can land 2-3 assets for the future.

Z will be on ice until TT is moved. He can only play center. That being said Z doesnt have the mobility TT does. Despite being far more polished offensively.

No JR? I cant tell if they're gonna trade him at the deadline or keep him around as a veteran who rarely sees the floor. Thoughts anyone?

Can’t BOTH start, as de facto combo-guards? I mean, if they are the two best guards we have, why not start them and have Hood/JR come off the bench?

Billy looked good to me. Like he jacked some shots, but he was engaged defensively and moved at have speed. Had some nice passes. He is raw, but he can be much better than Dekjer for instance .

Biggest reason I think this is he is an agressive rebounder

Give him several months in Canton and he’ll start looking like an nba player.
