I just hope we don't overreact to every loss now. We're going to lose more games. It's impossible to not have bad performances here and there. Also this shows how important it is to have guys like LeVert and Wade out there. Much needed length and size from those guys.

[@Jailoyal1]

Like always 🤦

[@Unknown-mx3wr]

Come on Bull! Man you are hard to please. Cavs have their best start and they have one bad game and you become uninterested? Just say you are not a basketball fan. How you feel is not against the law but despite my attention being on The Ohio State Football Team, I’m still following my Cavs. Just saying bud! Anyway I still love you all and the show!😊

[@jimdefazio8649]

I’ve watched 2 Cavs games all season. The Celtics game and this hawks game. Clearly I need to stop watching Cavs games.

[@deionowens997]

It's time to start Ty @ SF over Okoro. Need a solid defender off the bench. With Ev & JA in the starting lineup, but with no Wade or Vert yet, Okoro fits that role. Plus, u can pair Okoro with more shooting off the bench and with Ev. Also, with Okoro's hesitance 2 shoot, the open shot makes the offense stagnant.

[@ayubseeed]

ty is too small for sf

[@deionowens997]

@ayubseeed but he is the same height as Okoro & Max. Sam has played minutes at SF

[@vern187]

Hawks are better without Trey young Mike said. lol.

[@jef_freely]

Don’t play guards as forwards … and bump up Ty vs bigger guards and wing teams like Boston let DG duel Payton Pritchard… play Tyson if Levert misses, play Travers if Wade misses, keep your rotations. They can defend!!! And know how to play the game right! Use the youth as insurance depth! JT for a hurt Allen or Mobley … the DG Spida pairing isn’t stopping the 3 without a real SF with the mobile bigs … and Ty (Spida)& Okoro(DG) splice in the back court would work best CPJ Merrill as insurance depth … starting Ty Spida Travers EV ALLEN vs BOSTON … might be the way to counter the size and shooting

[@jef_freely]

BENCH FOR BOSTON DG Okoro Tyson Levert Niang TT CPJ MERRILL

[@wendellthomas179]

The Cavaliers Are okay but they are not winning an NBA title this season or next year or anytime in the near future.....not happening again at least for 10 years or more if ever....SERIOUSLY .....I AM not hating, just being brutally honest.... Cleveland better CHERISH THAT 2016 Championship.....😢😮😊 with that take, the Cavaliers Are a decent, average NBA team so that is a positive 😂🎉
