cavs offense scuffling. their only hope is scoring on the inside and the raps have done a good job of being stronger there to close the half

Shead needs to start the 2nd half.

Good **** half. Well coached by Darko. Very well coached.

We figured out their O pretty quickly and started making the right rotations. HUGE lift from Shead and Mamu who both play smart with so much energy. BI timely buckets. Barnes quietly dominant. IQ launching! Love to see it.

Great great D that quarter.

Scottie and Mamu carrying, nice.

Barnes’ feel for the game is ridiculous. It just comes so easy for him, he will make the right play in his sleep. Too bad his offensive arsenal hadn’t developed into a consistent go to scorer.

He tried and ended up going 1v4, he needs to let the game come to him and not force it

No off the dribble 3s for him. Even if it's one dribble he doesn't put it in the pocket as smooth and it affects his shot.

RJ needs to stop playing like Knicks RJ
Move the freakn ball and play some D
It’s clear that CMB should start let RJ come off the bench
Can’t have Quick and RJ on the floor same time

Very very good chance that IQ ends up with the 2nd best all around impact analytics on the team.

He might be the most efficient of our top 4 guys, and might lead the 4 in assists, with the lowest turnovers.

Just getting very underrated. This board will make you think he’s a scrub for some reason.

Barnes is our best player, and Ingram might be the most irreplaceable due to his scoring prowess, but IQ is right on their heels for being #2 on this team IMO.

Could easily imagine this as our best starting lineup

C Poeltl
F Barnes
F Ingram
G Quickley
G Shead

With RJ as the microwave 6th man.

I agree.

I still wouldn’t start Shead as then backup PG minutes can get problematic, but give Agbaji (or Battle?) the “start”. Doesn’t mean they play 32mpg, but they’re such a better fit to play the first 6-8 minutes of each half.

Only saw half the 2nd quarter but wow they are looking impressive. Good plays on both ends and Cavs offense looked rough down the strethc there, not just missing shots but struggling to move the ball without getting deflections.

Loving the Quick/Shead combo on the floor, they are both killing it tonight

Cavs offense is drive and kick it out for 3. Only Mitchell can do something other than that

Shead has just in a very straightforward way been one of the best passers in the league this year.

Pretty amazing honestly, I did not expect that he would have this kind of ceiling as a passer.

The team is steadier and better whenever he's on the court. Think we'll be seeing more two PG lineups if he keeps this up.

Refs started calling it evenly and we boat raced them that half

We should make Meril make plays lol. Let him try to finish against Mamu or Poeltl.

Feels like the game has slowed down for him. He’s always on balance now. Doesn’t get his steps messed up anymore. Very deliberate. It also helps that he’s not facing a wall whenever he drives anymore — having BI and shooters off the bench opens up space for him to operate.

CAN WE ALL APPRECIATE WE ARE FINALLY WATCHING A TEAM WORTH COMPLAINING ABOUT?!?!?

No more “TWO”, but a good old battle of PG vs PG or $30M starter vs UDFA bench guy.

Brings a tear to my eye

Calderon vs Ford
Calderon vs Lowry
Lowry & Fred duo

We always need this
