Not only that but they started the game killing them inside and then they just went to shooting 1 million fucking threes and I just don’t get that. I know that Dean Wade a lot of people like but he’s fucking terrible. It seems like every time I turn around. He’s either fouling somebody or he’s missing a fucking shot. Lonzo is WORSE THAN OKORO SHOOTING DEFENSIVELY ETC the only thing that he’s better at thank Issac is playmaking but I’d take Issac back all day to this point. Dg looks terrible Evan looks great WHEN HE HAS OPPORTUNITIES BUT IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY TIME HE GETS HOT STARTS HITTING SHOTS. THEY JUST SAY FUCK IT AND STOP GIVING HIM THE BALL AND I DON’T UNDERSTAND THAT LIKE IT’S JUST SO FRUSTRATING. THE WHOLE FUCKING SITUATION. THE WHOLE TEAM IS FRUSTRATING AND IT’S A FUCKING JOKE RIGHT NOW.
I’m only judging team on playoff success.
DG a BIG problem
Will someone remind him that preseason is over?
With DG hobbled – and Zo playing so poorly – the back court has become a huge concern
2 things. #1, our whole offense last year depended on DG's speed and ability to penetrate and Strus's ability to cut and move in the open spaces. That allowed for the flow and ball movement that gave guys space to shoot. That is gone, and you can see how stagnant and sad the offensive sets are, it is isolation and only Donovan can do that on this team. #2, the whole league has taken a page from the Cavs playbook and everyone is playing a much faster pace and our defense has not adjusted. Without a healthy Darius with that same speed, and without someone filling in the Strus movement-passing-connective tissue role we will not have the offense to make a deep run. The defense can be fixed, but the offense won't work without DG.
I don't know why, but I'm not feeling the same as everyone else about what's happening right now. The team we are watching is a team that will be pretty amazing in 2026 and 2027 seasons. The team that can win is missing Strus, Merrill, JA, and I'll include DG in that too because he's not playing well (and I'm worried he won't recover). So put those guys in the team right now .. starters, with Donovan, mobley, hunter, wade and then the Jaylon Tyson crew that is playing now coming off the bench (Tyson, proctor, Porter Jr, Nance, ball – mix in some naequan and Aussie). That's a whole well rounded team that can make a deep playoff run. That's what I'm really waiting to see. The real unknown variable for me is Garland. I don't think we can count on him long term, as much as that hurts to say. Tony, mark my words a couple months from now with Strus back…..#letemknowl
Like I’ve said over and over, the Cavs need to put D.G. on the trade block and see what his real value is. He is never going to be the guy who leads this team to a championship.
At least they aren't getting blown out. There's still cavalanches in there somewhere.
Healthier or not this team is broken. Not mentally or physically tough enough and too reliant on Donovan Mitchell, to be great in order for the team to have a chance.
Dean wade just stinks I never understood the fan fair for a 10th/11th journey man type. Guys like him are minimum contract players,
Atkinson… be tripping too. He doesn’t do anything in game
Hope DG heals and isn't plagued by toe injury throughout his career.
the most frustrating aspect of this team is also the thing giving me hope they turn it around, and thats the fact that the depth is doing its job this year. merrill and tyson have fully leaped into what they need to be as role players. tomlin and proctor proving way more useful than expected. craig porter keeps giving nice minutes. its the starters who are constantly struggling to give consistent effort. they should be elevating these bench performances into dominant wins and hopefully they will in the playoffs
We have even less guy available tongith agains the Spurs. Wtf is going on
We chuck up so many 3's its hard to watch sometimes. The deep, wing, 3's in transition (usually while down double digits) are INSANE
