Game 19 Cavs v Hornets (emergency thread)

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
If we had a decent big man we would’ve won by double digits easy

No if it was a foul it would have been a loose ball foul or a regular defensive foul and they would have shot FTs as it wasn't our first foul in the last two minutes.

And just looking at the play-by-play, it was a timeout.

Both of us are just saying that by the way the refs signaled, the way the Cavs reacted and the way the announcers reacted, we both thought they called a loose ball foul. But they didn't. But thats why I posted that. Thought Kemba was going to the line for 2 BS FT's.
 
When IT gets in there, we will hopefully no longer see shots like the LBJ 3 at the end. James still has that mental block on end of game FTs, hence no drive.

Like Irving, IT removes that burden from James.
 
Man Cody Zeller would honestly be perfect here. No real way to get him or any real reason for Charlotte to trade him, but that's the type of center we need. Passable offensive skill. Will make his FTs. A good defender in a variety of areas. Can switch decently, defend pick and rolls. Challenges at the rim.
 
If you had told me before the game the cavs would score 17 points in the fourth, shoot 6 of 17 and miss all 8 three point attempts, I would have said, "damn, how bad did they lose?"

Just great effing defense the last 6 minutes or so.
 
Guys made an effort on defense most times.

But truth is Charlotte missed so many open shots in the 2nd half. Walker was horrible. Sometimes, defense just doesn't look natural.

And on offense, all Cavs shooters but Korver are inconsistent/streaky. Maybe LeBron is actually the 2nd best shooter right now. That's not very good, specially for an offense that still relies a lot on 3s.

I was thinking how he was actually the safe pick in 2013. So dumb that Tyler messed that up for us. We thought he would stink because of his brother.

He would fit very nicely.

In fairness, they hit a TON of contested jumpers in the first half .Didn't chart it like I did the Nets game but they were well over 50% on contested shots.

Cavs have have top 5 worst "luck" on contested shots all season per the numbers.

I'd be interested to see how many contested looks there were in the fourth and how many midrange shots they allowed. Feel like they conceded a bunch of mid range looks that charlotte just missed.

The version of IT that we are getting will be far more pedestrian than the one that averaged 30 ppg last year.
