WE SUCK!!! FIRE JB!!!!!!!!! TRADE EVERYON E!!!!!!!
Why don’t I ever hear JB stressing rebounding! So many 2nd chance points.
Why are they tired 2 guys played AS the whole bench shouldve been rested and ready osman levert wade okoro and if there so tired use the other guys in dleague and bench instead of them having the best seats in the house
Garland was very unimpressive. While watching the starters it looked like the entire team knew what to do to win besides him.
Nuggets fan here, Mobley is absolute stud, you will be great in the future if you get rid of Michel and Garland…If you had Fultz instead of Garland, you would be nr.1 seed in the East
Mobley was awesome
They need more plays for Mobley when garland and Mitchell are off
i dont think we should panic all star break was excessively long
Our offense is offensive.
Why rest our bench after a long break?
coach sucks also , just wanted to add that he does nothing for the team ..
Again Cavs fail to get a signature win against a good team. Great for 3 quarters then play 💩hero ball out in the perimeter. No defensive adjustments late, down 5 Mobley was right at the basket easy 2 points maybe an and 1 but he passes to Mitchell for a 3 and he shot a 🧱 plenty of times in the fourth pick n roll Mobley slipped to the basket the defense doubles the ball handler and the ball wasn’t passed to Mobley. This team is frustrating.
Cavs are gonna regret not making a trade, and letting love go he was the only one that could SHOOT, 1st round exits
Thanks for the respect to the Nuggets. With Gordon we are a tough out. I assure you Mobley would not have had 31 had Gordon. Evan I think you were alluding to this. You guys got a great young team exciting.
Statistically we're a championship caliber team, check our point differential. Got all the skill and talent to win a championship, just incredibly mentally weak. That's why we're so much worse on the road, in the clutch, in close games etc. Plenty of open shots all game, especially in the 4th, but we're scared of teams the caliber of the Nuggets.
So, u guys not talking about Okoro's inefficient offensive effort or JB's quick trigger to pull reserves out of the game? I have no problem continuing to start Okoro at the SF spot but he should not finish games there. If u put Osman/Wade/Green at the SF spot in the corner 3, this allows u to open the floor with the full offense of our core 4. Great Defense is how u start the game in the first 3 quarters but spacing should be valued more in the 4th. Us having Frobley allow us to have this line of thinking because of their defensive mindset.
Much needed roster changes. Add Will Barton, Waive RoLo then sign Eric Paschal/Serge Ibaka to fit JB's coaching style.
So we got Danny Green to sit the Bench all game? 🤬
Nuggets fan here! Damn that was the most stressful game! It’s clear why you guys have the best defense in the league. No team has the length and athleticism the Cavs have.
