Cavs need wings, move Sexton at the trade deadline, he can be a mood/momentum killer.

Rubio/Garland are better suited

Interesting. They're some of my favorite in the league.

It’s a taste thing I suppose.

The key is if you have enough guys that do that, you are actually in pretty good shape. Whether its Nunn, Ellington, Melo, Bradley, Tucker, Reaves, Ariza ...whoever.

As long as some combination of guys produce and Davis/Lebron play at their average level, that is enough most nights.

They’re definitely not as bad as the Celtics announcers I’ll give them that

He looked good with Lebron on the bench. He needs the ball to be effective. He'd be great running a unit with AD and shooters.

I said manage possessions not run offense. eg In a late lead situation slowing down the clock and turning the game into a halfcourt battle. Westbrook's lack of tempo control is why he can rack 10 beautiful assists then rack 10 of the dumbest turnovers enroute to helping unsettle the offense and blowing a 26 point lead. There's a reason Lebron's teams are so good when they're ahead. Closing out leads require game management.

Take me with you! That’s what felt like

Didn’t feel like the Lakers were trying until the fourth quarter.

A LeBron led squad indeed.

Off the top of my head: I've remembered not enjoying the Rockets, Spurs, Thunder, Cavs, Bulls. Broadcasting teams certainly may have changed and improved, however.

Watching games from the feeds from the Lakers, Raptors, Nets, Knicks, T'Wolves, and Pelicans ... always on point for me.

Mavs got destroyed on the boards 56 to 31. I mean holy

How did the Lakers get the biggest cupcake schedule to start a season?…

Ballerhogger · Post #457 » by **Ballerhogger** » Sat Oct 30, 2021 5:04 am

42-36 we won the boards tonight

Don't think we're quite ready for the playoffs yet. Probably going to be another year finishing near the bottom. Maybe that's the best thing long term though. We NEED to get a halfway decent wing here somehow.

Also Sexton and Garland just aren't going to work, and I hate how long the FO is prolonging this experiment because we lose leverage in a Sexton deal by the day. You just can't get stop when you're that undersized in the backcourt.

I said it upthread, I think Sexton got himself traded tonight. Worst game he’s played in literally years. Garland had no problem navigating the court, probing the defense, head on a swivel. Sexton was lost. Got pick pocketed too many times. When he can’t play coast-to-coast and do his iso-heavy game on the perimeter he’s worthless. This game felt like a playoff game at points and he was a liability.

Maybe hyperbole on my end but he’s in a contract year and dropping the ball (literally).

We've faced one cupcake so far. We lost that game.

We got 3 games coming up that we should win. But you never know with this team right now.

Who has the most combined points, assists and rebounds tonight?
