Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Cavs up 14 as the Cavs' defense asserts itself again. Our offense was also good, thanks to LeVert and Mitchell and Merrill.

He was 1-7 at the time he made that post

Obviously nailed those two 3P after that which is great to see

He also has 6 rebounds, 3 steals, and 3 assists. Many of you place too much on taking shots, and making every single one. He's a good percentage 3 point shooter. And usually stays in that neighborhood.
 
Did the Heat ask Max to handle the ball this much?
 
Cavs win by 18. A bit of a roller coaster. We killed the in the 1st and 4th, they edged us in the 2nd and killed us in the 3rd.

Only 11 turnovers compared to their 18.

I like Dean Wade. Always have.

It’s not controversial to say it wasn’t a great first three quarters and that when plugging in Evan Mobley at 32 minutess per game upon his return, some combo of Wade, Niang, and TT are going to play less.

Niang had an ass second half, but also drilled three 3P in the first half.

Pretty much everybody in this roster is functionally playable except Damion Jones, and 11-13 man rotations aren’t really a thing so when EM and DG get back, gonna see less of some guys and it will be interesting to see how it plays out
 
Strus does a lot of things I love. But his shot needs to come back sooner rather than later.

And I understand this offense right now isn't tailor-made for movement shooters. So he's suffering with the rest of them.


But still.


To me, the shying away from Porter and going back to LeVert as the backup guard is JBB Going to what he's comfortable with. He wants the team to play slower and play a defense oriented style. LeVert definitely helps them do that. He's a good defensive wing, and his style, as lead guard, is almost guaranteed to slow the game down.


If you got JBB in a room where no one could hear him and gave him truth serum, I'd bet he'd tell you he prefers this guard rotation. WIthout Darius Garland in it. It's better defensively, and they play a pace he wants them to play at.
