Fun fact the Cavs have the top 4 rebounders by total in this game.

I haven't been on the Cole sucks train ever ... but if he puts in another stinker next game, he surely does have to go

This team needs a MASSIVE overhaul outside of the core group and I don't think the front office is ready to accept that.


They’re not. The time to do it was last offseason. Then they tanked the lotto picks and did nothing else. Proceeded to do nothing at the deadline. And, predictably, this happens.


They need to be gone. Like right now.


We are in the playoffs 3 years into the rebuild. Yeah! Fire em all!!

Yeah, if you looked at this team objectively we knew this team wasn't going to get past the first round.

Coach Mosely needs a spark and think he should take a chance and put in Anthony Black as a facilitator. Maybe he could have an impact on a bit of a smaller scale that Darrell Armstrong had in the 97 Heat Series.

This offense has got to have a different setup.

Not many 21 year Olds are ready, that's okay though.... Its the people with unrealistic expectations feeling down.... That being said, I wish he did play better this game

Its a tough one. On one hand, won't help the offense that much if at all. On the other hand, this is a physical, defensive series and they would help us not get punked like we are.

I am so tired of this Goga/AB narrative lol. It's just tiring, man.

They add very little to our offense.

Our best players have to play better. And of course you can play them instead of WCJ/Fultz, that's not the issue. It's just not some secret weapon we have.

He isn't a facilitator though.

He was basically only used as a spot shooter the entire season.

We made the playoffs! Yay! …… roster should have been shifted at the deadline, and everyone knows that outside of the GM.

Just wait we will make a huge move in the offseason. Lmaooooo don’t hold your breath

It’s kinda insane. He doesn’t even look like the same player as the beginning of the season.

He was playing on a 6th man of the year level at the start of the season. The drop off has been crazy

Someone who can maybe better run the offense,

It's worth a shot.

There is still plenty of time. But we need a spark
