Cavs are Softer than Organic Butter 🧈
It doesn't matter Cavs are not in the same league as the elite
teams in the NBA. You can't depend on Darius to be available when it matters. Great teams play winning basketball🏀 consistently no matter who is hurt. The soft Cavs do not 👎 .Looks like JB wasn't the problem after all.
This team don't make enough winning plays
That's the issue they haven't
"Needing" Darius Garland is a huge problem, because he's one of the most unavailable players in the league. Then once the playoffs begin, even if he is on the floor, he accentuates their playoff issue of getting physically leaned on.
Garland’s always hurt and this is the best Mobley’s got, is Mitchell supposed to drop 30 every night? Blame the other two max players, not Donovan.
They need another ball handler who can penetrate. I also don’t think we give enough credit to OKC’s movement with out the ball in hand.
Cant wait till they fire kenny and kobe,get someone in here to rebuild this garbage over paid roster,and a coach with some identity and heart.
Cavs disrepected the honor of Dr. MLK. Gotta find a way to show up in a mjor way…
It not happening Danny……It's not going to happen! The only thing that is happening is BANK DAY$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ for the highest payroll in the NBA!!!! I'm on Donovan watch…NOW!!!!!!!!!! That's going to happen! Koby is the ARCHITECT of this MESS!!!! All he's done is hoard 2 guards…he loves those 6'4/6'5 players ….LITTLE WINGS!!!!!!!!! He has TOTALLY and COMPLETELY…neglected the FORWARD position…horrible drafts…signings…transactions!!!!!!!! We're screwed..because we have no flexibility..int hat strangling/crippling…2nd Apron! Tyson has been a bright spot….but once again…he's a BIG COMBO GUARD!!!!
We told you how inconsistent your Cavs team is…Just like last season… lol🤣😂😂 . Same old same old squad…
Kenny is great at explaining the X's an O's of why the Cavs are so inconsistent , 👎 .Not so great at fixing the problem.
OKC hit every 3 they tried and chet was on fire, it is what it is
OKC was missing at least the same talent level players and we had 3 all-star players still and they did not play like stars jaylon Tyson is showing us he is next up. The wing we been searching for we got it he's better than strus and Merrill. We need Mitchell. Mobley. Allen to play like stars every game can't take nights off
CPJ plays PG. Zo plays 3&D wing. Why are you comparing the two? Compare him to Hunter or Wade.
If Zo actually played PG you would see better production from him.
Also, zo plays 5 minutes if at all, and you spend a lot of time talking about him as if he is the reason the cavs suck.
This is a boring team and i hope to god zo is gone by the deadline.
Stop making excuses for the home team Lou Dort is a Donovan stopper
This guy…lmao. Listen to the Wine & Gold Talk Podcast those guys are way more realistic. After every game, he believe this team will get better. Maybe against teams that suck but not the good teams.
Thunder fan here, tough loss, I respect the cavs. Hope y'all can get healthy. One of the best things about the thunder is the depth they put into the roster bc teams will get injured throughout the league, thunder have been extremely injured this year, but still the best record. Keep your heads up fellas 👍
