And yes, Wendell is factored into the offense with plays that are built for him. Don’t try to minimise it just because it contradicts what you want to believe.

It's all read and react though man.

If Carter's man doesn't help off, he doesn't get the ball.

If his man does help off, he *might* get the ball. But that's not a "play" being run Carter. It's just not.

We have zero point guards. Especially when Fultz is out.

Nothing happens trade wise and you have to change FO personnel

Mitchell has DESTROYED Suggs tonight too. A vicious mauling of a good defender.

Time to beat the traffic and roll out. 3 hour drive home

Games like this make me want to cancel.... Could watch us get spanked like a baby in front of my TV at home for a decimal the price

We really like the roster we just weren’t healthy enough this season. We need to evaluate before we make more decisions.

Dang, how is Cleveland this good?

Well that fight is gone. Doesn't help when your best two players haven't shown up at all either.

It's a good game to give your deep bench some run.

Shut the paint down and we can't do anything..... Can't bring this same team into the playoffs because it'll be the same thing

If PB doesn't make all-star game, he literally will have himself to blame with the FT shooting.

Their coach also calls great timeouts.

Calling out players in public is a GREAT way to lose respect of your team and they stop fighting for you. You should never take up coaching.

He absolutely should rip them a new one in the locker room though

You’re right, we’ve never heard a championship level coach do that? But I’m not talking individuals by name, but the collective… And at least show some accountability on the sideline… Look at coaches that win championship and you’ll find that they have earned the right to do that, and definitely are not afraid to do it… Have coached for years, but youth sports isn’t the same as millionaire athletes…

So you believe that Championship level coaches were championship level coaches because they called out players in public? Come on man.

And for the record, Mosely would win a championship with prime Shaq, Kobe, MJ, Duncan, etc. And he wouldn't call them out in public.

We were awful with Vogel. Vogel then won a championship..because he had Lebron and AD lol.

Well Mitchell is an All-NBA player with a huge amount of gravity and Allen is a former all-star playing great basketball right now.

And every other guy on the floor - Strus, Merrill, Niang, Wade - are all good shooters who are extremely willing to catch and shoot every time they catch it.

We don’t but that doesn’t mean that you give up and let guys have uncontested buckets and rebounds. We still have a losers mentality.
