This Cavs team really rubs me the wrong way, and I think it's a combination of their players and their fans. I've read so many comments online since last night that Coby White is some big-time flopper, which is rich coming from a team with Donovan Mitchell. Have some self awareness.
And then what the heck is up with George Niang? Chill out man - also incorporate some cardio into your workouts.
The week leading up the all-star break is always a tricky one and it looks like Vuc went on vacation early. Brutal game from him, but our roster kind of forces us to play him (though it seems like Billy would anyway), particularly against a team with size like Cleveland. I'm just gonna kee psaying it, but sign Kai Jones with the open roster spot, we need another big body. If Kerr can sit Thompson down the stretch when he's playing bad, we can sit Vuc.
Ayo got blocked a couple times when attacking the basket and then got scared to attack. You've gotta keep attack, and it would be helpful to develop a drag step move or some different moves when trying to score at the rim. Suppose that's just the next step for a guy who's been playing really well lately.
The Donovan challenge - this may have been answered all ready but from my understanding Donovan could only challenge if Caruso made contact with Mitchell or not (which he did) he could challenge that Mitchell pushed him right before that. It's a limitation in the challenge rules over a limitation in Billy's coaching, in this case.
Coby and DeMar were great. Nice to hear Doris and the ESPN crew talking about Coby as MIP.
This loss and the Orlando loss sting - they were right there for the taking.
Hope everyone is able to rest up, get healthy, and we can make a strong push to end the season.
Hope we see Cleveland in the playoffs and give them another first round exit and get front row seats to watching them implode when Mitchell requests a trade. We've been on the other end of plenty of regular season series wins vs the cavs then losing in the playoffs, time to flip the script.
