The Cavs should be playing Thomas Bryant more. I think we should try and move on from Allen and have a Mobely, Bryant center rotation and try and trade Allen for a decent 4. Not worth the money
Refs sucked. Female ref was the worst.
Defense still needs to tighten up, what Hunter did is great he just at the least needs to half that every game (again at the least). Patience with Merrill as he bounces back, play more Thomas Bryant, continue to have Tyson be a key piece (cause even with a terrible scoring output the dude played with heart). Continue to find that balance of shooting and getting to the rim. Almost just as important, we need to stop giving excuses to these guys. We play tonight on back to back, I don’t wanna hear the “oh they look tired”. Go out there and COMPETE!!!!
Darius and Donovan PROVED they can work in tandem last night
deandre shut me tf up last night after he airballed that first mid range shot i was like here we go again lmao. My fault hunter
I kinda feel when Hunter got hit on the nose the Hornets gave him a factory reset. I was complaining about Hunter, and the guy next to me was complaining about Wade, and they shut us both up.

They definitely collapsed on defense 4 minutes into the 4th quarter they really have to get a hold of their good habits and abandon all of their bad habits or at the least make few of them.
Hope Garland has a few more good games so his trade value is decent. Not really impressed by the win, it was over the lowly Hornets.
