Next year our PG's should be Garland, Mitchell, Rubio, LeVert, Osman, Okoro.
PG position is locked up. All we need to do is covert Mobley to the three and get stretch bigs.
Garland is the and 1 King 🏀
Garland is frail, does he even touch the weights?
Garland is too timid. We saw that in the playoffs. He passed up wide open shots only to turn the ball over
Creatine….Heart Attack….What??🤣🤣
Let me start by saying, i wish JB would've had the faith in Kevin Love that he had in Rubio. We probably be tied with the Heat 2-2 in the 2nd Rd. Just Basic did a terrible job using our guards once again. Not using our backcourt off the ball in catch and shoot situations when Frobley on the court together was just awful. The reason I wanted to have Love or Osman start with the core 4 is because of the spacing that would provide Frobley to be the ball handlers in the halfcourt sets. Their vision, passing, and offensive post scoring would have opened up the floor this season. Spidaland would have got their opportunities to handle the rock when Frobley went to bench and replaced with more shooting around with the likes of Love/Osman, Wade, and LeVert. Rubio need more time to heal before playing heavy minutes. Thats was apparent before the playoffs. U guys said Neto wasnt playable but why was Rubio? Every time Neto played he made the right play. He should've played in game 4, 5, and way before then but no, Just Basic was just predictable. Koby even knew we needy more offensive punch from our backup guard spot and brought Merrill from the G League but Just Basic didnt use him. JB but too much pressure on our backcourt to creat for others and themselves. The lack of creative and blind faith is the reason our guard play wasnt used to its potential. Nick Nurse and Mike Budenholzer knows what to do with this young core and develop players with less resources before (Bud in ATL). Its time for a new voice and playbook cause Just Basic is not it
Too many games before playoffs when the "regular season" is naught but a glorified preseason. Guard positions are not the Cav's weaknesses. PLEASE get Naz Reid at 4 and play Mobley at the starting 3 position. Then find someone who values REBOUNDING to coach the bigs.
