Jaylen has a hookshot?
Time for him to add Kareem's skyhook to his bag of tricks, he's already got the MJ fadeaway down :laugh:.

Too bad Brad got cute with the lineups.  Should have stuck with a more typical rotation and put the Cavs away.  Would have had a lot of garbage time in the 4th.
I mean, they were up 27 with like 4 mins left in the third...

All the more reason IMO to put the game out of reach by keeping your foot on the gas peddle.  That's still an eternity in an NBA game.  Strange things can happen.
Again, the bench guys with Tatum/Brown should be able to maintain a 27 point lead

Still little reason to put Porier, who isn't an NBA level player, in the 3rd quarter.  Put him in during garbage time.

I'm not OK with giving up 14-0 runs when there's more than a quarter left of basketball to play.

If you can’t give your end of bench minutes when you are up 27 points, when exactly can you give them minutes?

Lol Kemba is the ultimate closer

Again, garbage time.

I was hoping the starters would be able to sit out most of the 4th and rest.  Even Kemba had to come back in and put it out of reach.

I honesty wonder what Kemba thinks about playing with this team. He’s probably euphoric. Like, he doesn’t have the pressure to score all game. But he knows when they need the clutch buckets he can get them.

Is Langford injured ?  Or is he simply not as good as the other rookies - drafted after him ?
Brandon Clarke might have been a better choice with that 1st pick.

end of bench?  4th quarter if you're up 27.

for rotation players, they need to play smart team ball and not get selfish and sloppy on offense.  Wanamaker needs to be a PG that looks to get better players involved, not try to be a scorer

RWIII is out tonight or he would have gotten those minutes.

I have no idea what the story is with Langford.

He already did a psuedo shake to get his hook shot off, so there's hope!

He sprained his ankle in Maine last week. Brad said he was close to being back.
