No surprise you're back after mysteriously disappearing after the 3-0 start. |

We got a better coach and we got a great pick in Knecht. Priority should be to give Knecht a lot of run.
It's early in the season and i agree this team shouldn't be taken serious until the there are vital additions made.
We've also gone through a 5 game gauntlet of extremely tough games and come out 3-2.
These next 6 games will show where the mentality is at because those games are much easier than the 5 previous ones.
We should win at least 5 of them. |

| Well one thing that might give some hope, Lebron post game…he sounds pretty sick. Voice sounds rough and congested. Hopefully it’s the flu that’s making him look bad and not old age. |

| Depth is a major concern, our bench is useless. |

We're missing Vando and Wood. That's the depth that would make Christie and Gabe sweat for minutes. As of right now, Knecht should be getting their minutes.

Yeah I forgot he was sick until I heard his post game. So I don't even think he would've played if it hadn't been Cleveland. He needs soup and tea and get a lot of sleep. |

Teams get hot and there's nothing you can do about it...
2nd unit and bench has caused us both games... Vincent/Christie/Hayes combo been really bad. This team is not going any where unless Vincent/Christie up their play or scoring. |

Wood's going to be out of the league next season. He's not a real player. In fact, like 7 of our guys are fringe league guys. |

Wood's a starting center in the league that averages 17/8 as a starter.
We'd have the best backup center in the league (whom could also start) if we had a healthy Christian Wood being used properly.

Lakers looked tired. No energy tonight they got BEAT DOWN 4 of the Cavaliers starting 5 are shooting 50% I think we should beat the Raptors. I think JJ is doing a good job so far. Let's see how he gets the team up after this loss.
GO LAKERS!!!

I mean, there is something you could at least try to do - play defense. The lack of effort on that side of the ball was inexcusable.
Agree with the bench part though. |

Yet he had zero market - mavs needed a center but wanted no part of him. He’s a starter on a bad team. Just like dlo. On paper he should be coveted around the league. Yet only rob had interest. Got him at 30 and now half that. Zero trade interest. Fortunately JJ is an upgrade- I think it will be seen next year- connect is an upgrade. We are in a soft rebuild but AD will keep us level unless he gets hurt.
