I know the nba doesn’t call it but Garland carries on every possession.

i feel like we've been on the road for weeks.

Darko is a trash coach

You're team tank. The Raptors are 4-13 and playing hard. He's perfect/

He’s great for the tank

[DelAbbot]

Gradey - calf soreness.


That four letter may still be alive.

3 letters

I hated the old unskilled athlete NBA. I don't want to watch guys beat each up for 78-80 games.

Have to agree. The old NBA had stiff 7 footers on every roster. At least guys like Jerome are Uber-skilled to be able to get shots off and on D cs today’s Uber-athletes.

Jerome hides on defence. Guys like jerome are way ratings are tanking

I guess it depends on whether a guy being able to shoot is more skillful vs a guy with good footwork and post moves. Personally I don't find being able to shoot all that entertaining so I don't find it as skillful lol. Basically anyone can be a good basketball player in today's game

Jarett is very good, he is still better than this current Mobley.

Mobley has the moves though. There were a couple times I had to double check that it was Mobley bringing the ball up. he's like Chet. Needs to fill out to realize his potential.

[Boogie!]

90% of your posts are criticizing Barnes.

10% praising RJ.

Oh...with a mix of bragging about yourself and putting down others.

Maybe try mixing things up a bit

I guarantee you’ll be the first person to run Barnes out of town too once the majority of the fan base starts to sour on him complaining about things that don’t even make sense and then I’ll end up actually having to defend Barnes because I’m trying to be objective

You genuinely aren't objective with RJ....

No idea how talking about a players strengths isn’t being objective. I’m not here calling him the franchise player

[OhCanada]

down 12 with 12 missed FT's

Clevelands better. If we come back they will try harder.

[bape_lovers]

How?

Darko is a trash coach

[Vampirate]

If only Barnes would try to score in every quarter like he does in the 4th lol. Someone needs to figure out how to get him to change that mindset. His thinking is seriously flawed there

I have a theory that he's a PG the first 3 quarters and a scorer the 4th lol.

Dude should be at 20 points now lol.

His mentality should be to just get to the FT/Rim line every time.

The three may come and go but if he's getting to the line over 6 times a night, it'll really help even when his shot is off.

1 thing I know forsure aside from Mitchell going superstar mode Cavs are pretty much the Hawks from a few years ago they not making the finals

[bballsparkin]

You can't have your cake and eat it. Let the man do his thing and judge him next year.

You aren't objective when you think RJ is the better scorer than Barnes.

This mentality worked in the 90s and 00s, but now teams score so quickly you can't sit and wait till the 4th. The best players need to just go out and try to score more. I disagree with people who think he can't score. He clearly can. He's not Boris Diaw or Green lol. Those guys couldn't just decide they wanted to get a basket and go out and get it - Barnes can. He just chooses not to which is the flawed thinking..

But yeah, this is also why I don't like him playing PG. He goes overboard with the getting teammates involved thing.

I don’t believe his decision making is based off wanting the team to tank. It’s just the byproduct of his incompetence. He could get better as a coach as the team improves the next couple years but i doubt it.

We can upgrade that in like 3-5 days if we really wanted.

Dick 6/17, Scottie 5/14, RJ 6/18.

You can't win when your best scorers are inefficient like that.
