Okoro is a go because he's starting SF.

Maybe CPJ or Tyson on the floor, but not both especially against a blitzing defense.

Trial by fire lol

Kenny won't play either guy in the 2nd half, i assume. Often just tries to give his main dudes a blow in the 2nd quarter when he's forced to play anyone outside of his standard top 10 (not counting Strus, of course).

The officiating in this game is pretty atrocious.

TJ is such a stud off the bench!

26 points 5 assists 4 steals and 3 rebounds

I liked what I saw out of Tyson in his utility minutes. Good defense individually and team-wise. Got matched on Poeltl and did a good job not giving him an open look.

Looked like a good cog on offense even if he didn't do anything crazy.

Ty Jerome just makes no sense. It's like linsanity but no one cares outside Cleveland

Great use of the Bi-Annual Exception.

Thats who im reminded of as well… but i hope it lasts longer… or at least until he is with the Cavs lol.. its pretty crazy what he is doing right now, every shot he takes seems like its going in.

If anyone had any clue he could do this he would have gotten MLE from someone. Hopefully he can be close to this all season. Before the season he was an afterthought to me, I thought he was just signed as a friend of Donovan. So glad I was so wrong on that.

It's inevitable we'll need to let some talent go eventually. We could just decide to go for it this season, and sort things out this Summer. Alas, we're still well over the cap, though even if we give up all our cap holds.

So, one way or another we need affordable controllable players either home grown, acquired, or picked up on cheap contracts.

Aw, are him and Mitch tight? I didn't know that wrinkle.

I thought we signed him as a Patrick McCaw 2.0 just to spite the Warriors lol

Mitchell and Jerome were on the same basketball team growing up. (See Mitchell's postgame presser from last night, apparently they won national titles together or something? Didn't know those existed for age 10.) When we signed Ty, Donovan posted a photo of them together from back then on his socials.

Now that you mention it, i do recall that picture. The kids they were up against stood no chance, 2 future NBA players were in their league lol

Jerome is also close to Altman.

Windy was on WKNR this morning talking about Jerome and unsurprisingly Jerome's people say he's not just on a hot streak, that this is the player he's always been and that his career has been derailed by injuries. They point to his 2nd season with OKC as being more representative of the player he was; but as impressive as that season was he's on a stupidly ridiculous level right now.

Fun times.

Yeah, i knew Kenny liked TJ during their Warrior stint together.

Glad to have him, he's exactly what the Cavs have needed for several seasons now.
