Will this be a Kevin Love revenge game or a Cavs revenge game?

JBB has a lineup in with zero shooters to close the quarter, against a zone defense.

I understand wanting to play Stevens right now, but if you are going to put him on the floor you need the other three players (not including center) to be an above average shooter.

So I don't like that Stevens is being placed in and getting the ball with a lane to the paint, but never going for the bucket and probing only to reset back to the guard.

Both teams are playing very short rotations today so its going to feel playoff-esque.

I feel like during this game and our loss against Miami that our defense lets the Heat have some fairly easy shots even though they are one of the worst offenses in the league.

Some of the laziest turnovers I've seen in awhile.

Quality Quality win finally. That's the signature win in 2023. Nothing to really complain about other than those baffling late turnovers


Edit....the late game mistakes are piling up. Can't inbound the ball. Consecutive turnovers. That's definitely a coaching issue.....still a great win.


Now Who the eff makes a team go back to back on the road twice??

It's about as close to a rehearsal for the playoffs as you can get, I'm not complaining.

That second game on Friday will be a good look at how JB and the coaching staff make adjustments as well

I keep going back and forth on that. On one hand, there's definitely part of me that likes seeing what Love would be bringing to the Cavs at this point (nothing). On the other hand, I am not really fond of taking pleasure in someone else's struggles. Then again, I am not a big fan of the Love persona we've been presented over the years, so...

Was a funny decision to have Mitchell guarding Love, perhaps JBB's way of daring Kevin to try to shoot over him?

We survived the Stevens and Okoro minutes in this game thanks to Isaac knocking down his wide open shots.

La Mar and RRubio played clutch time.
I love J.B.
