Cavs vs. Pelicans

[Okada]

Bennett is kinda sorta looking like a basketball player now. Thank god.

[Okada]

I can't believe Bennett just blocked Davis.

[Okada]

Wow. Bennett has somehow turned a pathetic first half into a solid NBA performance.

[Okada]

Ooof, that would've been a monster posterization lol. Loving AB right now.

[ThirdEyeSharp]

Hopefully Bennett can build off of this, hopefully he finds a comfort zone.

I hope this means Cavs have forgotten about playoffs this season and decided to let the youngins play and develop and add a top 5 pick along the way.

Terrible game but Bennett's 2nd half is highly encouraging. First time all season that he looked like what we thought he'd be. 15 points and 8 rebounds, but that almost entirely came in the 2nd half.

Gets minutes, plays well.....shocking.

Imagine if he had the opportunity and strung about three or four games like that together....all the damage that's been done to his ego and reputation. Will be interesting if he gets a DNP-CD next game.

He has looked beyond awful in all his minutes so far so don't act like you saw something else.

Those of us who gave Tristan and Dion the benefit of the doubt know rookies need structure to make progress. DNP-CDs help no one. Neither does five minutes a game.

Bad loss i guess but it was enjoyable to watch again because young guys played. Bennett was beyond horrid but then come to life in the fourth, Zeller played really well and even waiters played really well after a long stretch of sub par games.

TT struggled again as he always does against big guys. We need a rim protector real bad. I was happy though, it's so much better watching this group lose than the older guys taking all the minutes and us losing anyway.

If I'm going to watch this team lose, I want to watch the young rookies lose.

And im glad thats how the game played out.

Davis already great and still has so much potential. He will be the best big man in the league sometime within the next few years, book it.

Book it? He's got an argument right now. He'll be the best player in the league one day though.

I hope this means Cavs have forgotten about playoffs this season and decided to let the youngins play and develop and add a top 5 pick along the way.

Me too man, me too.

Finally Bennett with a good outing. Any good clips of him in action from last night from those who couldn't see the game?

that step back three bennet hit was sweet..hopefully bennet start shutting ppl up

[dorkestra]

from those highlights i like his potential to hit a corner three and i like how he attacked the rim aggressively on several occasions. i'm rooting for this guy to prove doubters wrong.
