Kenny Atkins makes a MAJOR CHANGE to the starting lineup, but Cavaliers still lose by 16 vs. Bulls
Josh Giddey scored 23 points as part of his sixth triple-double this season, Coby White added 25 and the hot-shooting Chicago Bulls beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 127-111 on Wednesday night.
Giddey had 11 rebounds and 11 assists. He also matched a career high with five 3-pointers. Nikola Vucevic added 20 points and nine rebounds in the opener of the home-and-home series.
The Bulls shot 56.2% overall and made 14 of 36 3-pointers on the way to a rather convincing win after losing eight of nine. They led by 15 in the third quarter and went on a run in the fourth to break the game back open on the way to a rare win over Cleveland. They had dropped 12 of 13 against the Cavaliers.
Donovan Mitchell led Cleveland with 32 points, but the Cavaliers fell to 15-13 with their seventh loss in 10 games, the latest troubling performance for a team considered a favorite in the Eastern Conference. They didn’t sustain their 13th loss last season until March 19.
Jaylon Tyson scored 21. Darius Garland added 15 points and six assists | https://www.espn.com/nba/recap/_/gameId/401810222

Great breakdown of how lazy the Cavs defense can be at times
If we're not beating OKC… What are we doing? Cuz OKC is not going anywhere.. u need to pair Mitchell with another superstar
Everything went downhill when Sam got hurt
SCOTTIE BARNES CLEARS EVAN MOBLEY.
I’m tired of everyone lettin DG off the hook. He is out there stealing money bro
cavs trash haha lol
We are trash, period. We may lose every game without Evan 🤷🏾♀️ defense and coaching is horrific!!!!! We need to get behind Spida being the point guard completely build around him, Evan and JT. That means, parting ways with DG, Hunter, Wade…
They NEED to have Darius coming off the bench too…have Donovan run the first team and Darius run the bench…that way you ALWAYS have an ALL-STAR point guard on the floor the WHOLE game!
And Jordan would of NEVER had any of his teams "take the regular season off"…it's the regular season battles that prepare you for the playoffs' wars…
That humiliation ritual on Christmas is gunna be wild
This team has no heart. And no identity. Koby Altman’s NBA reputation is all based on this Core Four non sense. Jarrett Allen is a chump. He’s soft as charmin. We found out 2 PLAYOFFS AGO he wasn’t a dog. Mitchell Robinson and the knicks exposed him. Darius Garland doesn’t take ANYTHING SERIOUSLY. Mobley is just happy to be there. And Donovan… God bless him. Will never ever be the best player on a championship team. It’s over guys trade everything but Donovan, for Giannis and pray!
Don’t nobody take the Cavaliers serious Donovan Mitchell will only take you to the second round
I said it 2 year ago Allen needed to be gone this would have given Mobley a better opportunity to develop without clogging the lane up
"I don't want them to overexert themselves"… we they certainty are not doing that
For once I respect Adam the Bulls takes. He owned up on some bad takes he had. But double down on how poorly the Cavs have been and he’s 100% right. Sad day for me guys
Allen is still slightly better than Mobley as a center. And locking him out of the lineup in the 4th is a great way to fail. Mobley has a lot more upside, but they need to allow Mobley to be a PF who shoots 3s and stop trying to force him into the center role. Fix that and all everything else falls into place, dg has a real roller and lob threat, and a traditional big to guard the paint.
Mobley won’t be a center for another 7 years. Thats how long it’ll take for him to bulk up
This show is falling for survivors bias in a real way.
Hunter should be buried in the bench. I admit I was wrong on this kid. No fire, totally averse to body contact and can’t defend even tho his rep says he can. I get this isn’t high school but it’s time for Atkinson to sit guys who don’t compete hard.
Atta boy Kenny, keep giving Ball that green light to let the 3 fly! Never saw a player shoot so many 3’s that don’t just miss but miss wildly.
We got so many key pieces out with injury. Its way too early to be freaking out right now
Cleveland sports teams are losers and always will be,professional making excuses smdh..
What's up my Guys and Gals! " Wishing Everybody and Everyone the Best in these times now what I really came to get off my mind is that before the regular season even started irregardless of the Cavs roster and expectations for the Cavs this season I looked at every team and their rosters and how the other 29 teams are Constructed and even teams like the wizards, trailblazers,bulls and hornets rosters are better built overall than the Cavs to me and it's because none of these teams have to start or start 2 players under 6 foot 3 and the Cavs start 2 and Mitchell and Darius are too important to what the Cavs do on the offensive end of the court and at the same time their part of the reason why the Cavs have issues Rebounding and can't guard on the perimeter but teams can put bigger and taller players all game long on them!
Wade is cashing the check like most of them
