Cavs at Wizards | Kenny Atkinson Post Game | 12.12.2025
Cleveland Cavaliers Head Coach Kenny Atkinson spoke with the media following a 130-126 win over the Washington Wizards on December 12, 2025 at Capital One Arena.
Atkinson answer to the defensive problem worries me. It's not about just getting in the paint. It's the team isn't playing team D on a string. The rotations are awful. That's a coaching issue
This coach is struggling to lead this team. They simply are not inspired to play for him… Cavs need someone who can light a fire and keep it lit, it certainly isn't Atkinson…
Coach knows he has a problem here. If a normal rotation is your 8 best players, you are missing three of them. That means you have to give minutes to players who typically would be riding more pine than running on hardwood.

"DG got going"??? wtf r u talking about? 0-11 on threes is worse than a blind man and he plays no D. coach is weak
Atkinson gives the best interviews of any coach in sports always brutally honest lol
DG so terrible
Even bagley shooting 3s now and we are stuck with jarrett allen clogging the paint all game… he would rather play pokemon than develop his game
Take the W – but not a good game. We give up 126 pts and shoot 15/53 from 3. OKC is the standard and we’re not on the same planet 🌎. Go Cavs

A win doesnt change anything…….changes DESPERATELY need to be made

That's what four days of practice produces? Still sleepwalking…

Zo is a passer and facilitator.
NOT a shooter!
Let Zo quarterback the offense and the cavs will be a better team.
