I start to wonder if ANT is really at 100% physically? He look not for me.

They didnt have any structure with Mike in the game either

This is embarrassing on a number of levels. The effort is embarrassing, the mental mistakes are embarrassing, and the shooting on wide open shots is embarrassing.

I don't understand Finch's genius. It's disguised so well that I feel like watching street basketball at the local park.

Sometimes coaching do make a difference. The Cavs looked really sluggish last year. They did the coaching change and haven't loss a single game so far. Do we just have dumb players or bad coaching?

Dillingham not helping tonight. I'm not sure what role he fills if he's tentative in looking for his shot.

Dante has been brutal on both ends. I'd give Minott another chance at this point.

Just for clarification...if a defensive player jumps into an offensive player while driving to the rim, it's a foul, correct?
But yes. Very gross so far.
I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.

The young guys are not going to come in here and suddenly carry this team to greatness, just not how it works in the NBA. Not saying they should never play but people thinking giving a lot of time to Dilly, TSJ, Minott will instantly net us a big turnaround are not thinking. That's one reason why Finch has stuck with the vets. Rookies very rarely win you games.

I just hope our first round pick doesn't turn into Cooper flagg.

Welp. You guys can't blame Mike Conely for this one.
