What kind of 4 can defend Paolo? Aa fars as i know, the Cavs 4, long and limb( Mobley) is the opposite of the Pels 4 which is shorter but wider ( Zion)

I don't particularly like this 2nd unit with no starters. Cole is gonna pound the ever living hell out of the ball most nights.

This whole Mo Wagner not rebounding is starting to really tick me off

Mobley is elite defender and Zion can body him pretty well he can’t bully him. They are different but hard matchups imo

Some very rushed decisions being made leading to very annoying TOs

Wtf is up with these dumb turnovers? Get them out of their system now when it doesn’t count

We're getting stops and then just botching the easiest part of securing it after.

Cole is a horrible passer and probably better suited to play off the ball.

Cole might end up as the third leading scorer on the team this year just because he's not competing for shots on this 2nd unit :lol:

Feel like that long layoff played a role in that 1st quarter. Effort was there which is always important with this team.

Coin toss Gary Harris on

Its like every pass we make no one is expecting it lmao

I keep seeing this Cole narrative but haven't seen him pounding the ball really besides when we really need a basket and he forces it, but for a large part of last season and so far in preseason he's spread it around decently while still managing to be the 1st option

Ingles wont chuck shots?

I kinda imagined him to go full TRoss in the 2nd unit

I'm liking the three ball from this group though

Isaac is still elite defensively.. so there’s that

Minus Isaac
