Jarrett is in his socks, Dean is in his shoes. That adds at least an inch. If Dean is 6-9, then Jarrett is 6-10 1/2 or 11, since he still looks taller.

Basketball shoes adds 1.5 inches.... i know, i have been adding 1,5 inches to my length for years.
 
Barnes is a heck of a player. In the first half he had 20 points and 6 assists, so he had a direct hand in at least 32 of their 47 points. He was carrying the Raptors on his back. The Cavs held him to 4 points and 4 assists in the second half but he's still a hell of a player. I can see why he was picked as an All-Star alternate.

Knicks lost to Indy at home by 14. Brunson was questionable but he had 39 points and they still lost. Cavs up 3 games now on the Knicks.

They have two huge pieces missing that will be back in a month . They won’t catch us in the regular season but are a very talented team if they get healthy in April . Would not mind being on the opposite end of the bracket and have them as the 4 seed playing Boston in round 2…

Pretty workmanlike win - decisive but not too spectacular. Garland is still struggling with his 3-point shot (1-for-5) and is still committing turnovers in heavy traffic in the paint. Mitchell only took 11 shots and scored 15.

As I said in the preview the Raptors' bench ranks 29th in the last 15 games and Wade, Levert, and Okoro were +26, +24, and +19 off the Cavs' bench while Olynyk, Brown, and Dick were -19, -21, and -22 off the Raptors' bench.

The Cavs had 36 assists to 10 turnovers - sweet. The ball is really moving; it's not unusual for all five players to touch the ball before they even start to attack the bucket. Strus had 7 assists. His bounce passes to Allen on the pick-and-roll are perfection; they are not too hot to handle (Allen has bad hands) and arrive right at Jarrett's waist level where he can catch it easily.

As opposed to Garland who tends to throw hot passes from five feet away that bounce off Allen's hands because he doesn't have time to pick up the ball before it arrives.

The Raptors just didn't have the offensive firepower they had when VanVleet, Lowry, Anunoby, and Siakam were on the team.

So the beat goes on and the next victim is Philadelphia, which squeaked by 9-43 Washington tonight and is now 2-7 since losing Embiid.

Barnes had a great game, but he's obviously overstretched for what he's being asked to do. If you have a team running all its offense from him, it's a recipe for a bottom 10 finish, which they obviously are. It doesn't feel like the defense is particularly scared of him even as he's making shots.
