Do Not Sell My Personal Information

Strus is out. You want Merrill, Niang and Bates? Good luck on the defensive end.

I'd probably go Merrill, Niang, and Wade.

Defense won't even matter. Clear everyone out so CPJ/Mitchell has space to do their thing.

I don't mind it. When guys are hot, teammates will understand. What I don't like is JA fighting and getting position to receive the pass and then is ignored.

I'm all for feeding the hot guy. In the flow of an offense. But I hate the ISO ball version of that. It has so many problems and only works if the player continues to be hot. And the rest of the roster is often cooled off by lack of involvement.
 
Why are these pricks still fouling

I get the impression some would prefer to lose playing pretty basketball than winning ugly.

I don’t think it’s that extreme.

I do think though that people are quick to forget the many moments were we do playing beautiful basketball and the minute we revert to a more ISO based approsch(as happened in the second half tonight) they get frustrated and fearful that that is exclusively how we will play in the playoffs.

The regular season journey does not bore me and I try to not put too much emphasis on any one game or half, good or bad

i am impressed the cavs team has been playing harder over the past month than what we saw at the start of the season and normally that would be enough to make me happy -- undermanned team finding ways to win is usually great.

but i really hate watching the ISO offense and feel like we have not learned anything whatsover since the playoffs this year. i can't actually watch them play these days without feeling deep frustration.

(this is related to the Porter situation but not dependent on it, although that is quite frustrating too)

i am most happy today for the Cavs fans who got to see them in Paris. SO JEALOUS.

We’re far too talented to play like this. All thirty coaches in the league could win with this squad
 
Cavs stagger into a win, holding off the Nets rally. We give up 68 in the 2nd half and score 57.

Basketball is a 48 minute game.

We weren’t given a 20 point first half lead and cushion.

We earned it. And the second half being more challenging does not wipe out the importance of the first half.
 
Well I missed the whole game thanks to work meetings. 2nd one this year I think. At least we won! Will wait for @jjvors to post highlights.

What happened to Strus? Saw low min total

Which games?

All 82?

70?

60?

50?

And there a lot of teams in the league you whom can make that exact same statement you just made “any coach in the league could win with this team”
