Cavs vs Thunder | Kenny Atkinson Post Game | 01.19.2026
Cleveland Cavaliers Head Coach Kenny Atkinson spoke with the media following a 136-104 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on January 19, 2026 at Rocket Arena.
The cavs are the most consistent inconsistent team in the NBA and its frustrating to see sometimes every games were trailing till the 4th quareter! Theres No dribble handoffs the ball gets stagnate alot of step back 3s to bail us out no midrange or floaters theres no way with all this talent on this team we go 2 or 3 minutes without scoring no way!!! Figure it out I thought Atkinson had a offense thats supposed to be better than JBs what happened?
No garland no Merrill lol… when the Cavs are at their best, their ball movement is impeccable. Last game we had 45 assists. This game. 19… don’t expect to beat the defending champs when you’re missing your starting point guard and best three-point shooter on your team. No ball movement.
When Hunter can't hit the side of a barn off great defensive plays, its over. When SGA takes 5 steps, its unwatchable. When Lonzo Ball threw sideways half court pass, I stopped watching.
Go with what worked! Never start a player coming back off injury. He shoukd of started Craig over Dean. 19 assist today vs 45 last game. That was the difference. Kennny do better.
A team playing with a mindset of defending their championship vs A team who think they already won a championship and that regular season is meaningless to them. That's what separates the man from the boys.

The cavaliers out rebounded them and still lose I’m disappointed no one scored 20 points
I have no answers for their level of inconsistency
OKC players movement without the ball is what makes them a championship level team

Kenny Atkinson sounding he's a spectator more than a coach lol
sounds like a coach who needs to be fired to me
