Time is running out on this iteration of the Cavs.

@Hop0ff_drew @FuckAatname_ @ctclevelandfan You said “everyone got better but the Cavs”

The very nature of that statement means they didn’t improve or get better.

[Mack Perry @DevaronPerry]

Peyton Watson held his matchups to 5/12 (41.6%) from the field.

The defense is there. The offense will follow.

[Mack Perry @DevaronPerry]

I hope Ty Jerome has an all-star season

[Mack Perry @DevaronPerry]

@WardenSzn2 No one guards anyone for the entire game anymore. And tbh, you don’t won’t him guarding one person all game.

The Cavs switch more often than id like tho.

That’s not a Peyton Watson issue though so point stands. He wasn’t getting fried

[Mack Perry @DevaronPerry]

Brown indeed got the best of him on back to back buckets. I don't think he had his way though.

He was only credited with going 2/2 vs Watson. I think that final bucket you are referring to is actually on Merrill because of the switch.

He spent more time defending Maxey.

[Chris Daulton @blackvaultchris]

@DevaronPerry It seemed like Jaylen Brown had his way with him in the 4th quarter, scoring on 3 or 4 straight possessions.

[Mack Perry @DevaronPerry]

Darius Acuff Jr. highlights: 33 PTS

[Mack Perry @DevaronPerry]

@SadOSUhoopsFan In your opinion. Time will tell.

[Mack Perry @DevaronPerry]

The Heat and Knicks are 0-2! Oh no. Blow it up! 😂😂

[Mack Perry @DevaronPerry]

@SadOSUhoopsFan These are all potential outcomes. I’m not writing them off already tho.

To each their own.

[Mack Perry @DevaronPerry]

@SadOSUhoopsFan No we haven’t.

They are essentially replacing 3 major rotational spots and trying to iron out 2 others. This roster is different as is it’s rotation.

They got some work to do tho

[Mack Perry @DevaronPerry]

Is MW4 worth it?

[Mack Perry @DevaronPerry]

@_nickwoodson I’d rather lose that way too but ultimately, those 0-2 starts don’t mean they are doomed.

Each team is dealing with their own issues

[Mack Perry @DevaronPerry]

@_nickwoodson That’s true

[Mack Perry @DevaronPerry]

@Hop0ff_drew @FuckAatname_ @ctclevelandfan If you are admitting that the defense improved than you are technically contracting yourself about them not improving

[Mack Perry @DevaronPerry]

And I didn’t know that we played 1 game seasons in the NBA.

Once again, two things can be true. They got embarrassed but that don’t mean the seasons over. You better than that.

Blown leads happen. Just look at the Spurs. Shit happens. Now they gotta move on.

You think I’ll give a fuck about that blown lead once the playoffs start?

[Mack Perry @DevaronPerry]

@CEtalks @__K2xVendetta Killed me

[Mack Perry @DevaronPerry]

No one is making excuses. I’m just not writing them off after one game.

I don’t see how you find that so hard to understand. Should I base NYs 0-2 start as grounds for the rest of their season?

How about Miami? Are they already doomed to fail.

Or the Grizzlies? They are 2-0. Should we crown them contenders?

Multiple things can be true. The Cavs lost in embarrassing fashion. The Cavs are also not exactly doomed to the same fate.

[Mack Perry @DevaronPerry]

@curtiss_brown21 I agree. The feeling around the fanbase (at least on social media)

People would rather be vindicated and “right” than for the the team to succeed and be wrong

[Mack Perry @DevaronPerry]

It’s Cavs gameday! #LetEmKnow

[Mack Perry @DevaronPerry]

@curtiss_brown21

[Mack Perry @DevaronPerry]

@neosportsnerd I don’t disagree with the identity issue. I’m not gonna write them off or make declarations off one game though. If we did that, the Heat are doomed to fail and the Knicks are no longer formidable.

[Mack Perry @DevaronPerry]

The Cavs definitely improved in some areas. They are still flawed in some of the same areas though.

[Andrew @Hop0ff_drew]

@ctclevelandfan @DevaronPerry This one game is the same shit that’s been happening for 2 years now 🤣 this team is a joke everyone got better but the cavs

[Mack Perry @DevaronPerry]

@KenehanMe That’s asinine to me. Last year’s Cavs didn’t fold in two game 7s against 2 pretty good opponents.

They ultimately got embarrassed in the ECF but today they haven’t shown growth is ridiculous.

We can’t tell much about growth in 1 game anyway.

[Mack Perry @DevaronPerry]

@WardenSzn2 Maxey scored 4 points on him all game. A singular FG and a drawn foul. That’s not frying.

He scored most of his points with Harden and Merrill defending
