Cleveland Cavalier 2018-2019 Season

Yeah, because the Warriors were never petty during the Finals (eye roll).

Exactly, Klay can STFU. He's a front running POS.

Although I will say that I find it funny that the 2016 Finals loss is still in Klay's head.

Delly is back. The season is saved.

I watched the highlights last night.

I am reminded of the Washington Generals.

Sexton with 29 pts 6 assists tonight in a win. 

Was someone predicting like 8 or 9 wins? Lol

I initially said 15 wins at best and then adjusted it down to 8. You said 12. Looks like we were probably both wrong.

Correct, we have Delly now. If not for Delly, you'd be right.

He had a nice game!

Tristan Thompson out 2-4 weeks with a foot injury.

Some rough Sexton Stats I came across on reddit:

• sexton has driven to the basket about 8x per game. when he shoots on drives, he's making 42% of his shots
• he was tied with lebron as taking the 12th-most pull-up jumpers after 7+ dribbles. sexton was making 30% of them. next worst was zach lavine at 36%. next worst was at 42%.
• he has the worst VORP in the nba (complex stat, and certainly isn't an end-all be-all stat, but not a great sign)
• he ranks 17th in the nba by taking 4.1 2PA/game while holding the ball for 6+ seconds. he's making 32.8% of those shots. zach lavine is (again) the next worst, this time at 41.6% (9% better)
• the cavs are being outscored by 22 points per 100 possessions when sexton is on the floor, per basketball-reference

The VROP and -22 +/- are particularly crazy.

He’s struggled the last few games for sure.

So needs to quit pounding the ball for so many one on one type plays

So young and room for improvement...he’s had some real good games

Don't quote me on this but more like the last few weeks.

He had a nice stretch and then regressed. Could be hitting the rookie wall since he's used to playing 30-40 games a season.

Turned on the game tonight as Austin Carr was yelling about a Jordan Clarkson three pointer that pulled them within eight. Bless that guy for the garbage he has to watch every night. 

Soooo, not sure if anyone's heard about this but Koby Altman may have really screwed up this time.I doubt the league does anything about this but if the Cavs are penalized, they could lose their 2019 1st round pick....

Saw that yesterday but didn’t see any site mention they could lose a 1st round pick?

If the Cavs get penalized for that, fuck the NBA and crying Warriors.

Heard about it on my drive in. Wasn't aware of the story until I heard about it this morning.

This story thinks it's unlikely to happen, but...
