Who has been hiring your head coaches the last few years? Holy smokes.

LakeErieMovementCavaliers•5 yr. ago

Here’s a list of every Cavalier head coach I’ve witnessed:

Mike Fratello
Randy Wittman
John Lucas
Paul Silas
Mike Brown x2
Byron Scott
David Blatt
Ty Lue
Larry Drew
John Bielein
JB Bickerstaff

I think you could argue Mike Brown is either the 2nd or 3rd best coach in that group and Mike couldn’t find an offensive game plan if it shat on his head. The Cavs be Browns-esque

No, no, no. The front office is horrible, you can't convince me otherwise.

boobiesohboobies•5 yr. ago

In a perfect world maybe but if all those shooters are defensive liabilities a lot of their value is lost. The Lakers don't need elite 3 point shooting to win.

Ya, but it doesn't matter ae. The teams he's in generally succeed regardless

kingofgamesbrah:bw-lal: Lakers Bandwagon•5 yr. ago

Ehh

I believe during the playoffs that if we shot a minimum of like 30% from 3 for the game, we would usually win.

We only probably lost 1 or 2 games where that isn't true but most other games if we shot under 30% we probably lost.

I have a feeling it's gonna be similar this year, lets bump it up to like 35% tho please

initialZEN:phx-2: Suns•5 yr. ago

Is it too soon to ask if people were overreacting about Drummond being the problem?

TA_Account_12[SAS] Malik Rose•5 yr. ago

FreeDrummond

Jjhebe32•5 yr. ago

I mean I don’t think any reasonable person thought he was the only problem. If you have an inefficient Center who ices out your core pieces that you are trying to develop because he’s trying to earn his next contract, and despite the HC having multiple sit downs with him to play within the offense and he refused that’s a problem.

We have also played much better when we have both our starting guards available.

initialZEN:phx-2: Suns•5 yr. ago

Comment isn't directed at you, but when they had both their starting guards and Nance healthy.. and Drummond they looked like they were a (low seed) playoff team. Could have been lucky streak though. I get people don't like his play style and he definitely has flaws, but people acting like he has no positive impact irritate me.

Jjhebe32•5 yr. ago

Once we acquired Jarrett Allen it changed everything. Drummond knew he wasn’t the future and wasn’t getting a contract with us, so he started trying to play for his next contract and refused to play within the offense.

I agree early on we looked decent and Drummond was solid, but he was actively preventing any type of development despite the HC asking him to pass the ball.

He was leading the team in attempts and was absurdly inefficient.

NotManyBuses•5 yr. ago

I truly feel bad for anyone who watched that game especially the third quarter. For a good 5 minute stretch, the Cavs best player on the court was Quinn Cook, by a large margin.

LakeErieMovementCavaliers•5 yr. ago

pokemonflavorsSupersonics•5 yr. ago

I started watching after halftime lol. At one point the cavs were running a lineup of 4 undrafted players and a second round pick: Q. Cook, D. Dotson, L. Stevens, D. Wade (lol), and B. Thompson.

It was early-middle third quarter at that point and the game was close. Obvious tank job lol.

ZentharTheMagician[CLE] Zydrunas Ilgauskas•5 yr. ago

No, and not even close. Vucevic makes closer to Davis money.
