Come on Quin.  Experiment with the lineup.

I hate how Murray has played this game.

Hes been bad since Detroit game..

[JayBirdHawk]

Geez Saddiq....get in position to rebound 

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Boston up by 27

Knicks up by 25

 

That's why the Cavs are still trying to put up as many points as possible.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Refs giving Cleveland their points back from the Strus tech ... smh.

[JayBirdHawk]

Just throw this tape in the trash Quin.

[terrell]

I really hate what theyve done to my favorite team.. 

Schlenk and now LF..

So many wasted picks and ridiculous contracts over the years

Our depth should be way better than this

And thanks to Murray trade, our future is bleek..

Just damn..

They must've given up in this last quarter. 

[Hawkmoor]

Lmao

[NBASupes]

Glad this is the game I skipped

[Diesel]

We need this humiliation. 

 

[JayBirdHawk]

Bey is really bad on defense....geez. He has no idea what he's doing, always in the wrong spot. His off ball awareness is non existent.

[bleachkit]

We weren't ready for this one

Only 6 pages... Here we go...

The team played well. We came up just short, it happens.

[Diesel]

Our defensive scheme is bad.   Too many times, I saw Capela or OO up and Trae back.  Mobley having a field day. 

Our defense looks good for moments because of personal effort.   The scheme should amplify the effect of the personal effort. 

Instead, we have to have the personal effort to make the scheme look like it's doing something. 

No Lead is safe. 

 And we come on here and we want players who can give better personal effort on defense.  We need better scheme.

I think Quin has no choice but to let some of these minutes of Clint and OO overlap each other, the same way that Trae and DJ's minutes overlap each other. 

Not saying that you start OO ( although I'd think about it ).  But at least when it's time for OO to come in during the middle of the 1st and 3rd quarters, maybe you let them play together for at least 3 minutes in that quarter.  And when Clint comes back in during the 2nd and 4th quarters, let OO run with him for that same amount of time.

In other words, Clint and OO might need to play with each other about 10 - 12 minutes a game.  This small ball at the 4 ain't gonna cut it.  Neither Dre or Bey rebound well enough at the 4, to have them play extended minutes there.

I get your point.

We were playing well in the 2nd. Up 10 with 6:03 minutes left when Hunter hurt his little wittle pinky.  Things changed after that, we couldn't score, couldn't defend and then started giving up ORebs. Lost all momentum.

[Diesel]

Two trades for short term help.

Patty Mills +  2nd rounder for Delon Wright.

Cash considerations for Nathan Knight.
