It's sickening!

Easy. It's not like the coaches contract inhibits our ability to make moves. They could fire Monty tomorrow and not hinder us any. Even if the contract is guaranteed.

I'm not even suggesting going that far, but I'm just sick of his rotations. I like everything else about him however.

Mickey don't know nothing bout basketball....thats Dell's job. Mickey was just around really so he could have something to do while he was suspended.

Crossing my fingers that he was just traded ;)

All this talk of Thompson. Rivers is like .10 below Thompson on the year ft shooting

when monty is interviewed by local media does anyone ask him why he keeps AD on the bench in the fourth?

For Eric Bledsoe.

I'm crossing a giant's fingers for that.

Well that was a great play drawn up. SMDH

Jon Barry really LOVES Roberts :hihi:

All that fouling was killing me. Good it is over.

Davis and Rivers both got 30mins tonight, don't know why people are getting so pissed, people get pissed when Monty sticks with hot hand over our talent but people immediately call for ryno to come out because he is struggling of late, Davis was also 0-5 in his first 27 mins btw and Lopez was doing ok offensively and we were losing. Davis is 19 years old he doesn't need 35 minutes a game, he'll probably get closer to that next season anyway, same old stuff on here

Monty should have benched himself tonight.

"Roberts, he could be a special player."

:hihi:

...what? Thompson is shooting 87% from the stripe.

If Greivis is ever traded, I'll be furious. He legitimately wants to be here and supports this franchise through thick and thin and plays his butt off. He's underrated in the league and on this board.

You really think the local media is smart enough to ask actual questions?

Good news!

With this loss we now have the 5th worst record in the NBA while the Cavs have the 6th.

Yeah boi!!!!!

No. No. No. No. And further more, no.

Can't look at the aggregate minutes accrued and not mention how it took Robin Lopez fouling out to get Davis back in the game.

It's not the quantity of minutes that's drawing people's ire. It's the quality of the minutes. We're in dire straights, Irving is getting to the basket at well when you have a player, I mean no one even shoots the same kind of shots when Davis is near the basket because of the mere threat of the shot block. That right there lowers shot percentages without Davis moving a muscle.

Then immediately Davis runs the floor, gets a basket in transition, then tips in a missed shot for a basket. We aren't contending for a title and a green rookie is a liability. If Davis is going to get used to winning, how the hell is benching him for 75% of the 4th gonna help?

And he was 0-5 on a bunch of 17 foot jumpers that he's streaky on. Whenever he went inside, he got fouled and converted from the stripe. That's called box score watching, my friend.

17 free throws in the 4th for Cleveland?

I agree with you Eman, but something is very wrong with what is going on here. When you have casual fans that recognize these horrible rotations that continue to hurt the team and development of our young talent mostly AD, then something has to change. I think we can all agree Monty is a great human being and very likable but the horrible in game management cannot continue if we as a fan base what to see this team succeed and win.
