You’d be happy if Mo Bamba gave as much effort as Mo Bamba?

Don't like the close out to this quarter...

The paint defense is bad

Good half

When you just can't hit wiiiidddeee open shots, u will always struggle to win games against good teams. I mean they missed about 4-5 wide open shots to end that quarter.

Not sure they could have closed out that quarter any worse.

It was bad to close out the quarter but they were actually pretty decent on both the paint and the 3 point line this half. I am happily surprised.

But our team can't shoot to begin with, there is a reason why they are wide open.

They have no interior defense when Isaac is off the floor.

The zone... our nemesis.

Everyone playing really well. The Cavs are just good.

Some sure but not all of them. Suggs got a good wide open look in that zone Cleveland was running on the last possession and just clanked it.

Wendell got a wide open 3 at the end as well off of good ball movement and just clanked it.

Still 6-3 without him this year. Beating healthy Philly, Denver, Mavs, etc.

The free throw disparity is really helping the Cavs

Cleveland favored by 8.5 at the start? Vegas looking at another L
