Brian Windhorst, Marc Spears Make Big Statement on Cavs HC J.B. Bickerstaff – Sports4CLE, 2/14/24

Brian wior Mark Spears National writers talk about the job JB bicker staff has done with the Cavs after that tough start this from the Hoops Collective we got to start talking about JB bicker staff for Coach of the Year yes yes guy who was under heat a lot of this exactly

He’s doing an incredible job guys he almost got fired say what you want I mean yeah you know they can debate about it and you can debate the word almost and they can deny it or whatever JB Bickerstaff was on a hot bleep seat and

If he had had a bad few days at the wrong time he’d have probably gotten fired so and to to rebound from that situation to have this team playing brilliant basketball I mean you just watch him and I agree February ain’t May okay and and they got a blemish on that

Resume from the way they played in the playoffs last year and it was not a shining uh performance by JB bicker staff amongst the failures in that postseason but my God Spears you are so right in bringing that up yeah and he he’s done a lot opening up their offense and keeping

On Elite you know defensive approach let’s welcome in Sam Amo from hoops.com Sam when I see that and hear that the thought comes to this team plays nothing at all like it did a season ago yeah really even going back to the start of the Season you know they had a

Lot of injuries to over come Jared Allen was out uh Darlin and Mitchell were missing time there early in November and then of course you had the huge long injuries to Garland and Moy but uh you talk about last season particularly the playoffs they’re much more physical

Playing a much more physical brand of basketball which was a point of emphasis last year uh or I’m sorry in the offseason with JB bicker staff and the coaching staff the front office was you know we have to learn from that playoff series against the Knicks and be more

More physical and and you know body up people more be even better defensively and all those things have happened but on top of that as we heard Mark Spears say the the offense has really just been clicking you know aside from the loss to Philadelphia the other night uh even that offensively they’ve

Looked great they’ve been sharing the ball and nobody’s been selfish or nobody’s forcing anything um that loss would came down to defense but really the big picture you’re talking about 17- two their record since early January and you have to give absolutely have to give

JB bicker staff a whole lot of credit in that um in that kind of surge because he’s he’s really convinced the guys you know what we’re going to be more successful as a unit as opposed to one or two guys scoring 20 or 25 30 points
