  1. One of the worst coaches in the NBA. Only ever got in the business because of his father. Refuses to make adjustments and play his bench. Merrill and Morris should be playing.

  2. yall keep saying fire JB but if you’ve paid attention to this Cavs team all year, you realize this isn’t very surprising. This Cavs team is very breakable. The slightest bit of adversity and they give up. Garland, Mitchell, These guys make so much money but they’re not winning players

  3. Memphis grizzlies hold the #1 spot for the fewest points scored in a quarter in playoff history with 9 points

  4. How about a timeout in 3rd quarter? How about sitting a player who is just hurting the team – how about pulling offense (Merrill) or toughness (Morris) when team is getting stagnant

  5. Obviously, Bickerstaff hast to go. Listen, if the Cavaliers don’t absolutely hammer the magic in game five I feel like this whole team just needs to start fresh with all new players.

  6. And Noone’s pointing any fingers at Donovan Mitchell isn’t this supposed to be like a superstar player????? And example I’ve seen the Dallas Mavericks get blown out before, but Luca will always get his 30. Donovan Mitchell can’t even get 20. I mean, this is supposed to be our star. This is the guy that needs to step up when you really need him. He is overrated as hell. He better prove me wrong.

  7. This man will NEVER admit that he has exhausted and injured his team with a 7 man rotation since the All Star break. The front office got him Strus, Niang, Porter, Merrill, and Morris. He only plays Niang and Strus and does not know how to get them open looks. He is tone deaf. He keeps repeating the same mistakes and his team is out of gas. His "strategy" was based only on keeping his job, not developing talent. He will certainly been fired. Should have happened after last year.

  8. It’s inexcusable he didn’t call time when we came out and immediately blew a 9 point lead.

  9. I don’t basketball X’s and O’s like a coach don’t pretend to. But what I can say is that the Cavs offense doesn’t generate quality shots on a consistent basis. Everything looks difficult. I imagine a coach has some say in simplifying the game. Spo is doing it with Miami without his best player.

  10. JB is not winning the pressure games and he is not developing or young talent. We need to find a coach to get the job done. Too much talent to perform like this in the playoffs 2 years in a row.

  11. Dude is too Scared to try different line ups or play proven bench pieces. If Garland and Mitchell are not playing well together, Make Garland come off the bench as a 6 man. Same thing with Mobley and Allan, keep their minutes separate as they are both non shooting big men. This is the PLAYOFFS NOT REGULAR SEASON. You have to try different things and leave feelings out of it. It's about winning the game at all costs. I hope this man is fired even if we win this series.

  12. Honestly, if the cavs lose first round like I expect, JB should resign. He's hurting this team. He has no plan at all. Just tells players to play better. Afraid to hurt "stars" feelings. Is basically a cheerleader who also complains about foul calls.

  13. Bench garland and play craig porter off the bench for pg minutes. You got nothing to loose. The Magics about to win the next 2 if you dont make changes. Mobley off the bench. Your gonna have to shoot lights out to advance

  14. JB bears some blame, but the players they signed to score and shoot threes. he's stuck with 7 players, when it starts going bad why not bring in Morris, Sam Merriel, and Thompson, can they do any worse than Strus, and Naig? and Lavert, 5, 2, and 7 points between them. Why did they sign Strus? to score points, Cav's are mind beaten, the coach cannot make a new plan B, and he cannot make adjustments, while the other team does, and comes out with a 27-10 run, did not improve in the 3rd quarter and that is on JB not making changes, he loves his top 7 players the rest sit even as the ship is sinking. He sticks with the players who are not helping. If they win in Cleveland that will be a good surprise. The plan for the Cavs is to beat the hell out of Garland and Mitchell and the game is a win, 2 small guards should not be the players you depend on to score 2-30 each. Look at JB's face, Garland's, and Mitchell's, they got no answers. If JB and the starters had killer instinct, they would have split not lost by 20 -30 plus points each game

  15. I think its time to start thinking of JB not just as worst coach in the league. He might be one of the worst NBA head coaches of all time.

  16. I saw this coming just like last year and a year before. The only lesson that they learn from jb is "when the going gets tough always give up"
