You know rather than pick up the T on back to back tough calls, Bickerstaff could just use a challenge.

I'm pissed this is only a six point game at half. We could've had this well over double-digits with smarter play to end the half. You're playing the worst team in the NBA. You get up by 20 in the middle of third and they'll wave the white flag.

They also started finding the soft spots in the zone from 3. Cavs might have to switch to man.

Easy to find soft spots from 3 when you have someone acting like a sliding door in front of the person trying to close out.

Prnce needs to be out there with Drummond, not Allen. Allen/Prince is the only frontcourt that gets out rebounded.

Someone needs to tell Windler that Rubio is not a guy you play up on at the 3 point line.

This team needs Kevin Love back.

just put the ball in Okoro's hands at the top of the key and let him attack the rim

I'm so mad about this game. Windler, Garland, and Sexton all need to have taken no less than three, three point shots before the 4th quarter. You can't keep driving and passing into a packed paint like we're doing. Turnovers are killing us and like 80% of it lazy passes and forcing stuff inside.

Even with Love out you shouldn't be dropping games to the Wolves and Knicks because you can't get the ball in the hoop.

Windler had no FGAs, at all, in this game. He's on the floor for 13 minutes and doesn't get a shot off. That's inexcusable.

Sexton took one three point attempt all game and I'm pretty sure it happened with less than three minutes in the game; also inexcusable.

Garland had three, three point attempts and two of those occurred with less than two minutes left. Can't happen.

You're just not keeping defenses honest when three of the best three point shooters on your team have a combined one attempt between them with 4 minutes left in the game. You're bailing out the defense.

It's a good thing we have a game tomorrow because I could go off about what happened tonight for days.

I can sort of understand why Sexton wasn't taking 3's he was getting a lot of really clean shots and was very efficient in it. The rest of the team I can't understand. We desperately need Love back and maybe even try to find a way to trade for JJ Reddick or someone else. Although we wouldn't want him to be a starter, having another person that is more than happy and capable of taking 3s would be huge for the team, maybe even have him try and mentor Windler who is a similar type of player.

Given recent games against teams that had players out for covid in past month of time it wouldn't surprise me if its creeping into the cavs org . You can literally get tested as negative during the incubation period which im willing to bet has sone small level of infection transfer rate going basically under the radar.
The team in general to me looked gassed against ny abd in this game. Nance has also been really crappy since the wrist injury, they have no reason to overplay him when javale is right there and available.
Right now they look like a tank mode team again

Heres a short story about just that regarding the virus creeping in despite all the measures in place.https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/11/03/health/covid-test-negative-contagious-wellness/index.html
Probably just assumed teams are catching on resulted in the drop but that isnt all of it imo since the cavs just dont have it right now some dont have legs to even launch it . Poor oxygenation is a hidden result even in early stages etc

Andre Drummond is god awful. I understand he puts up big numbers (empty stats) but he is killing the development of our young guys.
