We couldn't miss to start, and they couldn't miss to close.  I'll take the 12-point lead.

Hard to complain about a 12 point lead but our bench players were terrible.  Lost us a huge chunk of the lead.

Cs hung in there and finished nicely with a 12 pt lead.

Yeah, if Mobley can't even stay in front of JT and JB, this Cavs team has no shot of guarding the Jays.

That being said, with no KP or Jrue it may need to be some heavy minutes from the Jays tonight. I'm worried what will happen when JT sits on the bench.

But I love Joe matching JB's minutes with Donovan, just like he did with Luka. I wish we'd utilize him more like that, even if it takes away some from his offense. He's about as good of an individual defender as there is in the league when he's tasked with the job of limiting a star.

Two of our bench guys started tonight....

One of the issues with the bench against this team is Luke. He's just a terrible matchup given their speedy, shooting guards. Not sure how much he can play in this matchup. KP at least has more length to work better in the drop, and Al is still the most mobile of the bigs.

Quoting Nick from the now locked Ime thread:

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Cavs really don't have any answers for the Jays. Mobley and Garland aren't it, and neither is Hunter who honestly is useless if he can't make shots
