Did you see Mud nearly toss away 4 passes in a short span?  And lose his dribble.  Mud did steal a real lazy Wiz backcourt pass.  And got 3 FT's when Jeff Green decided to foul him on a late closeout.  Which somewhat redeemed an otherwise very poor outing.  Mud also looks chunky again. Green mostly had a good game, but I never trust that guy's head.

Franc didn't do much and missed 3 treys mid to late 4Q.
Those plus a Kanter missed 3 meant a lot of empty trips for NYK.
I also think Franc's defense gets overpraised.  He takes good angles, tries to get over picks mostly, but is foul prone and gets caught napping at times.

Clock's ticking on Mud's career . . .

Mudiay showed a bit that he is the infusion we need.

Chunky - or solidly fit/strong?  We will see in time.

So who gets cut to make sure IsoZo can stay with the team full-time? Baker, Mudiay, or Kornet?

I'll stick with my summer prediction that it will be Baker who makes way for Trier. But it might be Kornet if the Knicks really think Porzingis is coming back before the all-star break.

The Knicks have been at least tied in the final frame in six of their seven losses but ultimately collapsed.

Sounds like we are one KP away....

Floor games vs Wiz


When you introduce a new PG (EM) into the mix now everyone is afraid of making a mistake lest they lose minutes,  and they begin thinking too much instead of just playing and their floor games can suffer accordingly.

I hope Fizz settles on 2 guys at the PG.  Not all 3.

Looks pretty much decided.

Last night Burke played 20 minutes and Mudiay 22.

Expect this to push up and maybe beyond 48 total.

Frank, AT, Dotson and THJ split the 2/3 minutes

I dont expect to see Courtney Lee suit up this year.

Baker is something like 7th or 8th G, pretty much 5th SG.
Contract only thing keeping him around.
Also, work ethic.

Kornet?
Can always practice and have him int he KZ role for future preparedness.  He's the weakest link, but young and his position not as clogged.  Though he doesn't see any court time.

Mud, Knix still evaluating and he could possibly be thrown into a deal as a sweetener.

It's becoming increasingly clear that when you hear a Cavs veteran talk about younger players not knowing their role, or knowing how to win, or what to do on the court, they mean Sexton. Throughout the organization, the line on Sexton is that he does not 'know how to play.' He doesn't know how to defend the pick and roll. He doesn't know how to set up teammates as a point guard... They know he's 19 and he only played one year of college ball. They still think he's a nice kid. But they see his deficiencies, they know he's going to be on the court, and they're discouraged when after these losses, he doesn't seem bothered by them."

Sexton is just 19 years old, and there is still a long way to go before the verdict is out on him as an NBA player. However, it is clear that dysfunction is currently permeating throughout the Cavs organization, and such a situation won't do anything to help his development in the league.

Cavs seek the high pick, its become apparent after the Love injury.

Wont use Sexton to start games, choosing to crash and burn with the plodding George Hill.

They want Collin to cry after games?

Splits - After 10 Games
« Reply #1735 on: November 05, 2018, 03:55:19 PM »

Tim Hardaway Jr.  @ Home   28.2 ppg  4.2 apg  44% FG  43% 3G
Tim Hardaway Jr.  on ROAD  18.4 ppg  2.4 apg  39% FG  36% 3G

Enes Kanter @ Home  12 rpg
Enes Kanter on ROAD   9 rpg

Frank Ntilikina @ Home  3 apg
Frank Ntilikina on ROAD 5 apg

So Junior is an All-Star at MSG and not so good elsewhere.

Small Sample Size Theater

I do find it interesting when guys put up H/R splits like that for the whole season.  Partying?  Running another family on the side?

The same George Hill you wished Phil had signed? 

Imagine that. 

THANK GOD WE DIDN'T END UP WITH SEXTON

We had a team.  They dont

Hill fits well with a team like SA or with a guy like LeBron.

Sexton should be fine

Or are you judging him my what two Cleveland vets say?
