Really bad matchup and the Cavs didn’t have the depth to play in a different way. Hoping now that we’ve added more talented players and Mobley has had more time, we see new ways to play the game. I think our offense was the even bigger problem in that series.
Also JB is a terrible coach. He was awful when he replaced McHale on the Rockets (yes it was a bad situation to be thrown into but he didn’t get close to what a good coach would’ve out of them that year).
He’s definitely in the hot seat. He has shown he can take a bad team to being a good team but hasn’t shown he can make a good team a great team. The signs are gonna be there pretty quick to tell us if the Cavs have grown as a team. Even if the team starts the season strong, we’ll be able to see if he’s coached the team to be more versatile and dynamic.

He is a good assistant tho!

He’s done a good job with the current young team. But in the playoffs thibs had him completely schemed for by game 3. it was hard to watch
he’s a nepo baby bum. Listen to us.
I’m not even saying you’re wrong, just that he’s been good for player development
