Key Matchups

Herro 17
Mitchell 15

Bam 9
Mobley 7

Wiggins 10
Garland 12

Our role-players getting outplayed so far. Absurd shooting from Jerome and Strus.

Ty Jerome and Strus are killing Duncan and Burks. There's the difference. Ironically, Duncan and Burks are shooting a combined 100%... except they've only taken 1 shot each.

8pt game, this game is winnable. the heat has to perform better in the second half

Ii dont think we have the players to slow cleveland's offense. Come to think of it we have a tall rookie, two starters and a bunch of bench players. This is exactly who we are at present time. We really need that number one option that can get ou buckets in a variety of ways

Wiggins Is a really good player to have in your starting 5 he can be in any teams starting 5 but we still missing a playmaker KD will do wonders on this tea.

Got my Durant jersey on preorder.

Yeah law of average will come by. Hopefully lol

I mean the main thing is we're losing all the hustle categories. But all the more reason to play a proper two big lineup, if you don't have the legs at least use your size advantage. Ware at 13 minutes at the half, if he finishes the game under 30 minutes I have no words.

Just leave Davion on Spidda every single minute of this series and the problem is solved

I think we are going to end up playing Ware less, and going with Highsmith and Anderson on Mobley, Allen is doing too much damage on Ware with offensive boards. Ware will eventually be ready for this but he is too small right now

[Shewasfly]

There's really no reason to play Duncan or even Anderson a lot of mins in this game. Unless Spo is conceding and just wants to experiment. Duncan sucks and Anderson's advantage is very minimal against this type of team imo.

I also still think Highsmith should either be on Garland, Strus, or I guess Mobley? Because I don't see it for him on Donovan. I hope he proves me wrong, but Donovan is too crafty.

This is a series for Ware to learn. Allen is tough. Got that mature muscle. Ware will get on the beef up program this offseason and start checking peeps then dunking on'em.

Bad back Duncan is not Wemby killer Duncan

I don’t see how Allen means you can’t play Ware. If it’s that big of an issue just have Bam check him, Kel’el’s quick enough to stay with Mobley and we know he can switch onto guards.

This is not a Kyle Anderson series, and it’s definitely not a Haywood at the 4 series.

Well, we’re fighting at least. I guess I just don’t understand why we refuse to match their size. Like why even start Bam and Ware together if that’s the only time we’re going to play them together? Also no Jovic? Dudes versatile and 6’10, we need all the size and versatility we can get.

If this doesn’t turn into a blowout he may barely break 20

Bam need to step up this 2nd half. He is on matchup where he is the better player.

I miss the Bam/Ware/Jovic lineup, it didn’t see much use but the few times we did it I thought we looked really good.

I love the duck ur head and just barrell into a player defensive fouls.

[DayofMourning]
