LeVert was the bigger problem than Garland missing 2 3's. Held the ball looking to score froze everyone else out.
I’m invested in the drama. I’m watching the first round series no matter what
I still believe we avoid the play in. We’re not losing 4.5 games to the Heat with 9 games to play, the Heat haven’t been looking good either
Oh good so we get the 6 seed and get to be buttfucked by the Knicks again.
I didn't watch the game but I trust Caris more than Garland in crunch time. He is not going to get his shot blocked like someone else.Turning to Levert to be your playmaker in crunch time is like playing with fire while holding a live grenade on thin ice. That is not who he is. He is not a PG. He's a combo guard. I know Donovan is out and they have probably been fooled by some nice assist numbers, but Levert running the show for long stretches is just not winning ball.
The fact that they keep turning to Caris speaks to how awful Garland has been in pressure situations.
Oh absolutely we need to move the ball east go west with some motion and more off ball screens to get the defense on their heels. Were a lost cause with subpar iso game sans Mitchell.Maybe, but pressure situations are a team game. Just going iso is low percentage. Garland had quite a few iso victories for the Cavs that made sure the game was in hand last season. Not so much this year with his issues(which imo won't be rectified until summer). It's exposing JB's complete lack of offensive scheme and lack of motion.
Crazy headline, and then everyone gets hurt, Wade, Strus, Mobley, and Mitchell. How fitting.
