Could they have less discipline on perimeter defense? How often do players block 3 point shots? How often do they get 3 shots from ft line because of undisciplined players?

Btw, Larry Sanders had 16 rebounds in 18 minutes in his last game (also 3 blocks). I think it's time to get him some NBA minutes.

D-league stats. LOL

Yes, yes. Clearly a DPOY candidate; bring him up and have him start over TT. Do you guys even watch basketball?

Jesus....talk about a "little girl at a Justin Bieber concert" overreaction. What part of "I think it's time to get him some NBA minutes" says "bench TT and start Sanders?"

Thompson needs a blow. Dude has started EVERY game this year and averaged 30 minutes doing it, without a legit replacement to fill in for him. If Sanders can eat up 8-10 minutes a game, down the stretch, to get TT some rest, I'm all for it.

Sleeper is just upset, because nobody takes his sports takes seriously, because he doesn't know wtf he is talking about 95%. But hey, remember that one time a long time ago he made a prediction about derek rose?!?!?

I think we are all aware that it's wishful thinking to have Sanders giving a good 8-10 minutes a game, but might as well find out.

We'll likely know by Wednesday night how the rest of the regular season plays out. If they lose to Boston, they probably aren't getting that #1 seed so might as well give Sanders as many minutes as he can handle.

The only overreaction is people who don't understand basketball making grandiose predictions based on D-league stats. Sanders is nowhere near NBA ready at this point and I doubt he's going to make an impact on the Cavs at all, much less make an impact this year.

Remember, Sanders tried out for multiple teams and they all said no including the Cavs. The only reason he is even on the team is because Bogut got injured and this idea that he's going to be some great player off the bench on a championship contending team is pure fantasy.

Again, do you guys even watch basketball?

Again, I'm pretty sure we are all on the same page its wishful thinking he will be contributing a championship team. It can't hurt to see him play NBA minutes. Not really sure why your insecurity gets in the way of this simple logic.

Maybe because this is a championship level contending team that's vying for the 1 seed who can't afford to dump minutes into a non-NBA ready player just because it "can't hurt to see him play NBA minutes". Uh, yes it can hurt and it would if you put a complete liability out there for 10 minutes a game.

I equate him to a space eating nose tackle in football. His job is to eat blockers and take up space. A high tackle total is a major unexpected bonus.

With Sanders, I'm just looking for him to eat minutes and give TT a breather. If he scores points and is a rebounding machine, awesome.....but highly doubtful.

I have no expectations, whatsoever, of the guy playing or making any sort of impact in the playoffs.

Over the time since you were last here, Sleeper decided to alter his online persona to be the guy who takes a generic "might as well try him out to see if he can contribute off the bench" comment and twists it to act like you were saying that player is a future all-star-in-the-making who will be a major contributor. And then, if/when that player doesn't pan out, he acts like he just made some sort of great prediction while everyone else was completely wrong.

I already made myself clear about using Sanders to eat minutes after the Boston game, if the Cavs lose. At that point, they're likely no longer contending for the top seed.

It hurts to throw 10 minutes at him against the magic after the cavs went 6-10 in march and lost the firm grasp to the 1 seed they apparently dgaf about? Lol, k.

Apparently he's now also a liberal who was formerly a "let them eat cake" type conservative? Sybil much?

The difference between winning and losing is whether or not Larry Sanders plays ten minutes a game!!!

Yup, thus why his insecurity gets in the way of any logic and thus why he needs to remind us about that one time he made a prediction about rose [emoji23].

Except Sanders is still not NBA ready so "eating minutes" is absolutely harmful to the team that is trying to regain the #1 seed in the East.
