Because the way some of you Cavs fans talk about him, you seem content with him playing like a low-level starter and expect nothing more just because the Cavs are winning on the back of their DEFENSE - not their struggling offense (both in these playoffs and the regular season). A defense he has little to do with.
I mean he’s averaging close to as many turnovers (4.5) as he is field goal makes (5.5). He’s aimlessly pounding the life out of the ball at times without creating any real offensive advantages. No one is asking him to “hijack the offense” and freeze out the bigs. He simply needs to stop throwing the ball away so much, be quicker to make decisions, and be more of a threat to score. Especially down the stretches of games, he’s just been terrible.
I really don’t care to hear excuses about him coming back from injury because that’s the story of his whole career. He’s always in an out of the lineup with little injuries here and there.
Bruh, it is literally everyone on the Cavs... Hence probably because they're playing a top 3 defense lol
Through 2 games...
Mitchell 3.5 APG vs 3.5 TOPG
Garland 6.0 APG vs 4.5 TOPG
Strus 2.5 APG vs 2.5 TOPG
Mobley 1.5 APG vs 2.0 TOPG
LeVert 1.5 APG vs 1.0 TOPG
Okoro 0.5 APG vs 1.0 TOPG
Allen is the only player with a good assist to turnover ratio so far. We're not playing the 24th ranked Pacers defense here, we're playing arguably the best defense in the league.
