Get Okoro out of there. Can't be passing up open looks like this.

The problem is he's soft as hell and can't be relied on consistently to finish.

I have no interest in this game but a correct call. Only argument you could make is a for a no call and even that would be dubious,

Problem is he's arguably the toughest Cav and one of their best perimeter defenders. Wouldn't mind him behind Hart on the depth chart in NY despite the lack of shooting.

Tie game, 5 and a half to go. Should be a hell of a finish

Cowardly and stupid is a good descriptor of Suggs offensive game


You don’t like Suggs either bro? Where does he rank in the pantheon in terms of Ingram?

His team creamed us in the RS amd he flopped around like a fish in all of those games so im gonna say, a magnitude 6 on the Ingram scale :lol:

Suggs didn't make the contact. Don't give him the foul, but no way that's an offensive foul. Basket should count.

Nah that was a foul on Suggs three. Sucks but not a natural motion from him at all

His leg did though. It wasn't a natural shooting motion.

Both of these teams, but especially Orlando, play a really ugly brand of offense.

Put him on the Pacers.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

I'm pretty positive LeVert hasn't played in the 2nd half.

This Cavs team just doesn't have any flare. I like them when they have Markkanen and I like them the first 1/2 of last year. With the talent they have, I can't understand why they just can't build a lead. Gets 7 pts up then let the opponent back in it.

Banchero has been locked down for the most part.
