I have no idea of the inner-workings of Ty Lue's playbook.

No one does because it doesn't exist...

That was Mike Browns playbook for sure.

Funfact: Mike Brown has been getting checks from the Cavs since 2006.

Dan Gilbert, everyone!

As soon as he was in the starting lineup he looked significantly better. He was aggressive and getting past his man. As soon as JR and Clarkson came in he looked worse and wasn't getting any attempts.

He can run the pick and roll and was great with Zizic. I would love for the focus of the 2nd unit be pick and roll with zizic and Sexton or start them both. I don't think the team will start them both, but that would be the smart thing to do.

Delly was so smart because he as a guard picked a big man to work the 2 man game with. He worked that out with TT and could not be kept out of the rotation because of it. He really did the same thing with Channing when he showed up in terms of the pick and pop.

Sexton needs to adopt a big, whether it is Zizic or Nance or TT and just feed them after getting to the hoop, and no one will question why is he is on the floor. Get to the hoop or get it to your big man. Very simple.

This is where the coaching could help him, if the coaches do their jobs. He could be doing these things, and maybe he eventually will. Like I said, usually rookies figure on a couple things they think they do well and keep going back to the well with them. It is only 10 games in, and hopefully he starts being more comfortable. I wouldn't mind him being a bit of a dick to the other players on the team and demanding they get him the ball more.

8th overall/28th overall/54th overall/undrafted.. I don't care, play smart, earn time. If you make rookies think they are entitled to minutes by where they were drafted, you'll never get their bad habits corrected.

Your dream of playing young guys regardless of what they can contribute makes Anthony Bennett a 38 minute a night disaster.

In a perfect world, you have a solid vet who plays smart playing in front of your rookie who ultimately should be someone your young guy can overcome by mid-season. (and if he beats him out earlier, great)

People think you don't learn by sitting, I say you don't learn by playing poorly without consequence.

They had the right dynamic set (Hill starts, Sexton backs up), the problem is they probably needed a 3rd PG for when Sexton was stinking up his defensive assignments, blowing easy passes and missing open shots while Hill needed rest.

That all said, I'm feeling a little bit better on Collin after OKC game. He was horrible on defense, and he still frustrates with his unwillingness to make the right pass, but he finally flashed some.

You have to put a lottery pick Rookie in a position to succeed. We have seen him play better every time he is not with Clarkson.

I get what you are saying in terms of playing well getting you more time, but playing hard isn't the problem. he is putting in the effort, he needs to play in alineup that helps him succeed. That is the starting lineup right now. The bench is full of bad spacers and non-passers.

That’s insane, but not surprising which still leaves me amazed our coach’s being payed millions can’t see this...

We need some kind of insider on the coaching staff that can print stuff like that out and slip it under Drew's office door.

I predicted fringe of playoffs for this team.

To be fair they could win 15 games and be a fringe playoff team in the east.

Yeah, like...way, way, way out on the fringe.

Collin was cool tonight. He seemed to not force things too much.

Good to see him get to the bucket that last play. I'm a little confused why he doesn't go for it like that more .

He's raw for sure. Feels like he had an attack mode and get others involved mode. I think he will get more comfortable as things slow down for him.

Liked when he got 2 3s when the guy wouldn't guard him out to the line

 

[Real Deal]

The game was entertaining to me. I enjoyed Collin balling out, let's keep it up!!
