Stevens is simply not doing a good job coaching this year. He puts in Jaylen. Jaylen does some of his best basketball and they pull close. Immediately takes him out. Cavs pull away. Just bad coaching this year. Rewarding softness. Punishing good play. That's Brad this year.
funny this is not the first time he done that.
Jaylen blew two defensive assignments that's why he got pulled. He needs to have better awareness defensively if he's going to play because plays like that kill us in this types of games
If everyone got pulled for blown defensive assignments no one would play. Look at Green, Kelly, JJ, etc...
But for our young player it doesn't send a good message to play him anyways? You want him to become disciplined and make the right plays and considering we have Green coming in and cooking than he should know we don't have to play him. He needs to earn his minutes.
So Jaylen should be held to a standard that no one else on the team is? What does that teach a young player?
To become disciplined and studious of the game. You people act like this is the first time he's missed defensive assignments. He's had a problem on rotations all season and it has not gotten much better. If you come in after 5 minutes and give up two 3 pointers you should get pulled considering you have two competant SF with abilities to make contributions as well.
I love JB by the way
Brown played 4 minutes scored 4 points, 2 rebounds and an assist.
Exactly. Didn't take a genius to leave him in
He was consistently missing defensive assignments.
Well. Let's look at the game stream play by play....can we generally agree Richard Jefferson was his man? There was that alley oops by Jefferson where he got behind the play. The very next play was Jaylen assisting Gerald. And that's about it. Jefferson got fouled by Gerald so maybe Jefferson got by Jaylen. In the mean time Jaylen had made two shots in that time. Most of the issue was Kyrie schooling IT. So no. Just no.
Defensive rotations. Stevens was yelling at him for it which resulted in open threes, which have killed us thus far.
Exactly. Too much box score scouting
Speaking of the box score the Cavs have hit 12 out of 26 threes. Pretty good. Is anyone other than Jaylen going to be held responsible? How many guys is Jaylen supposed to defend? 3?
You are right with that mindset we should put Jordan Mickey in, James Young, Terry Rozier, and bring up Nader.
You aren't understanding the concept that the reason that these players are in is because they have the best chance of stopping and winning against the Cavs. You are right we should sit Al for Kelly that would be smart basketball right?
I'm not completely sold on your understanding of basketball
