Cavs vs Rockets | Kenny Atkinson Post Game | 11.19.2025
Cleveland Cavaliers Head Coach Kenny Atkinson spoke with the media following a 114-104 loss against the Houston Rockets on November 19, 2025 at Rocket Arena.
Kenny should think about starting Porter Jr to enable Donovan to focus on scoring. Running PG, the ball isn't moving enough. Too much hinging on make or miss iso play
I blame once again Kenny ! This is ridiculous. You have the worst lineups ever. You don’t know what you are doing it’s crazy. How has Mobley regressed? Oh I know. Cause you gave him the greenlight to just start handling the ball like he’s Allen Iverson and then start playing play maker like he’s fucking LeBron James and it’s absolutely ridiculous. Mobley has regressed from last year. How has he regressed when he’s 21 years old with all that momentum after winning DPOY? It’s all Kenny Kenny gives the green light and the red light to certain tendencies that players can or cannot contribute and Kenny has turned Mobley into an absolute turnover inefficient clueless forward. It is ridiculous.
This flip the switch mentality is what's costing the cavs to lose games and it became really a bad habit. If you can recall the OKC team during the 2023-2024 season they are 1 seed in the west and one of the top teams. They too got bounce off on the 2nd round of the playoffs but that didn't stop them from dominating the league and winning the championship the following season. Even right now they are still dominatinng. Because they knew there are no shortcuts be it tegular season or post season they wanted to win.
At some point its on coaching when the team constantly executes so poorly, has such bad habits and shot selection, leaves good shooters open so consistently getting burned over and over and fails to get up for games. We slept through like 4 1st quarters in a row. Against a trash memphis team without Ja we could come back. Also kenny are these guys practicing free throws? Leaving 12 at the line. Dean wade is a "stretch big" who shot 52% last year and went 1/4. Did your development plan not involve him and evan practicing free throws. I'm really disappointed in this squad. Given the weight of expectations, the talent of the roster, and the way we ducked out the playoffs i could've expected them to come out ready to prove something. Instead this is the most lazy lackluster ststt to a yrar i can remember. But game after game kenny and donovan tell us why its good to poorly execute. Its good we.look like we don't give a shot until half time etc. Just because a good regular season didnt lead to a ring doesn't mean a worse one will.
Get pissed or something kenny. The shine is off you cant be the zen master guy. Lay the fuck into these guys. I don't wanna hear about shot quality and some goofy shit. If you're missing everything you gotta read the game and make adjustments get to the rim get fouled and MAKE the fts. Get evan the ball close to the rim. Tell him stop bringing it down. Stop dribbling 5x or back down 5x. A few times abd then go. Hes overthinking everything. What's it gonna take to get dean to fucking make a ft ? Like get a grip get pissed these dudes dont need a buddy they need you to hold them accountable
Come on Cavs I can feel this team can make it this year just don't give up and stay healthy. It's still long regular season . We will be fine .Go Coach Kenny
Kenny is being too soft on these guys, its getting frustrating. Entire team just too soft. Nae'Quan would be better suited on a team like Rockets or Detroit, because he's the only player with spunk.

Mobley and Allen are not tough enough, teams are killing us in rebounding, can't buy a free throw.

Heartless losers sound familiar anyone? , I’ve said it for 4 years, and Mobley is a bust.
