I think Niang is having a fine season, but a lot of us Cavs fans can remember times in previous seasons when he‘s been frustrating, frankly a liability, and it‘s hard to shake off that reputation. The same is true of a couple of players — up until this year, LeVert was famously streaky (“are we getting Good Vert or Bad Vert today?“), and Okoro‘s 3-point attempts could be momentum killers. But this season, I‘m not seeing any of that from any of them. Of course there can be a bad play or missed shot that should have landed. But Kenny A‘s system is all about getting good contributions from everyone, and they‘ve all been delivering.
Jerome is huge factor!
I tend to stay away from Cavs coverage after a loss, becuase a 12 game win streak makes you believe everyone understands and trust the process, but the moment a loss happens, everyone goes back to their tearing down players and wanting names to replace them.
Cam Johnson is the dumbest trade talk, I have ever heard. A teamt that is trying to stay away from the apron tax leveling up and the fans want them to trade for someone with a name, because…. no real reason, if you have watched this team, just because it has always been done that way.
Cavs are not trading for Cam Johnson or any other NBA2k trade you run throught your trade app.
The Cavs are a developmental organization, until they get back control of their 1sr rd picks, the replacement for the guys on the expiring contracts are playing in the G-League.
If you sell a bunch of young players on a process, that they need to take their time and develop and you don't give them that time and you just bring in replacments why would any one take the G-League seriously?
Small market teams need the G-League, it allows them to control cost..
I am more upset with this win, then I am with the loss, because Coach Atkinson went with the JB Bikerstaff 9-man rotation (one guy plays but only 5-8 minuts), the Cavs are a 10-11 guys no one playing less than 10 mins and no one over 30 mins, that is their process, that is what got them the record they have and until Evan has fully unicorned it is their best path to a Championship in the end of the Big 3 era.
Either trust the process or do not trust the process
Go Cavs
Ty is clearly ahead of Sam(and should be) on the depth chart..If Kenny does go down to 9…gotta believe that Sam and Okoro are the odd men out! Hey Danny…gotta believe that Koby would give up Okoro/Tyson in a Cam J trade! It would also cost a future #1 in 2031 , multiple 2's and maybe even a pick swap along with some salary fillers! We have heard for years how much Koby likes him. These next 2/3 years are Donovans absolute prime years! The time is now!
Wadup Danny !!! …. let's go Cleveland !!!.
The term cavalanche is getting played out I think
