We might have to change the arena name to the woodshed after this beat down.

The Cavs were licking their chops for garbage time. This is their moment.

Rudy again got pretty good assist number.... his development just don't stop. That's not only talent but high BBIQ in action!

[KqWIN]

Incredible garbage time performance from the Cavs, truly. Down to the last whistle.

DM with 24 pts in 26 minutes. Not bad

I feel like watching the Jazz play the Cavs is how the Warriors fans must have felt the majority of the time the past 4 years.

Gobert - biggest +-; second in points; second in point-to-attempt ratio; don't even mention rebounds; tie for 2-3 in assists;
O'Neal - most minutes; first in point-to-attempt ratio;second in rebounds; tie for 2-3 in assists; good +-
DM: first in points with good efficiency
Ingles - first in assists,
Korver - best in +- per minute.

Favors and Crowder are OK

Most of the bench confidently negative overall contribution.

All that with one of weakest defense one can find in NBA. It will be interesting to see how it will transform when met with average and good defense performance. And what RR, Exum, Sefalosha and Neto will bring to the table. But with everybody healthy Jazz can have 8 or 9 or 10 oe even 11 non-negative contributors. Which is pretty good for the time of shortened rotation in April... I's say a notch or even 2 better than last April

I feel bad for Alec and Hood for getting traded by the Jazz and then having to get blown out by us every time we play. I don't feel bad for Collin Sexton, though. Not only does he look underwhelming in his play, but he took that cheap last second three instead of dribbling and running out the clock. What's worse, he had the audacity to make it, and screw me out of a perfect guess after my man Niang put me in prime position. For shame, Collin, for shame.

The closing line was Jazz -16 or Jazz -16.5 depending on the book. Imagine losing your bet because the Cavs garbage unit cut the lead down by 20 and then Sexton drains a 3 at the very end. The Cavs were very ready for the Jazz to stop trying and boost their stats. I don't know if you noticed, but Jordan Clarkson even tried to steal the inbounds pass after Sexton hit the last 3. Clowns
