Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Off-topic, Booker has 54 points with 7 minutes to go vs Pelicans
 
Garland was the best player on the court tonight for us. +14 in a 1 point win. 18p12a7reb4stl1blk ZERO TURNOVERS.

Listen, Kemba scored on him quite a bit. I honestly dont even put that on Garland much. Listen. Walker, when healthy, can still score a ton of points in this league very easily.

The team put Garland on an ISLAND with Walker and did not begin switching ANYTHING until late in the 3rd qtr down 10 points. Of COURSE the crafty, STILL SUPER FAST, STILL STRONG guard who finally is healthy and came back a week ago after a long injury..which he sustained after dropping like 50 for the Knicks in a game last year.

Kembas body as a day to day NBA player is washed but when hes fresh? Still the same bad mfer he always was. Can score inside, can score outside. We were having Okoro and LeVert take point on him late and we WERE STILL SWITCHING for those guys because otherwise Kemba was gonna BBQ them too.

Garland was excellent tonight. Just excellent. Hell never be Marcus Smart but get 4 steals and play hard all night? He played great defense late too.

Garland and Mobley kept this one from going in the toilet.

Onto the next one. Lets get some REST.

I'm only having fun with the Christian Wood talk. He's playing like an all-star this year if his minutes were higher.

But this is a career year at 27, so probably an outlier.


But the more i see Mobley at C? The more I wonder about trading ALlen for a floor spacing 4 in the future.

I mean, can Diakite become that 3/4 we're looking for?

My enthusiasm and excitement is low. I can already see how far we are going to get with JBB.

I don’t know if I’d take Belin or Blatt over him (shows how bad Cavs coaches have been) but I’d damn sure take Mike Brown
 
Individual stats:

Starters:
Allen 8-15-1 with 2 blocks in 39 minutes.
Okoko 10-6-1 with a steal and 2 blocks in 26 minutes
Garland 18-7-12 with 4 steals and a block in 44 minutes
Mobley 17-8-4 in 36 minutes
Mitchell 25-4-3 with a steal in 42 minutes

Bench: 22-11-3 and we needed every bit.
Love 9-5-2 in 15 minutes
LeVert 4-4-1 in 38 minutes
Osman 7-2-0 in 17 minutes
Neto 2-0-0 in 6 minutes

Blast wasn’t terrible he was just inexperienced in the NBA and Lebron didn’t like him. He just couldn’t relate to mid to late 20 Americans I guess. Meanwhile JBB can’t coach for shit but the players like him because he’s “cool”
 
I wanna know who the shooting coach is, as apparently we couldn't hit the broad side of a barn...

In fairness people described Ty Lue the exact same way when he took over for Blatt. The game threads here hated him. Now he’s considered one of the best coaches in the league.

Not saying JBB is headed there lol he’s clearly not.

I still can’t get over that inbounds to Allen…

They're not soft. They're just asked to do alot and only have so much energy to expend.

I’m sorry neither of them know how bang and establish position inside and are pushed off their sweet spots very easily

He was coaching a Lebron team. No coach is ever going to get credit or have full control over the offense while Lebron is on the team. But he was shown to be able to make in game/series adjustments and was good at out of time out plays , something this guy is horrible at and he’s coaching young impressionable guys for the most part. There’s no Lebron to outrank and undermine him, he’s jus inept and is quite the opposite to where I would say he’s hindering the team
