CMB switching and picking spida clean. that's why he's special.

zeke · 2026-04-18T13:51:06-0400

fuck off with these free throws already

MindzEye · 2026-04-18T13:51:37-0400

We have FT yips today.

Physical game, I haven't seen any phantom calls yet. A lot of holding, hooking and hacking.

zeke · 2026-04-18T13:58:43-0400

shead sinking shots is absolutely essential.

Pwner · 2026-04-18T13:58:46-0400

Shead should really be an off ball FVV lite type of guy.

MindzEye · 2026-04-18T14:01:06-0400

alright, there's a phantom call. Allen got bailed out.

Yes, but him being tied for our lead in FGA is something Clevelands coaching staff will jerk off about at the half.

Doesn't shoot remotely well enough for that.

MindzEye · 2026-04-18T14:06:00-0400

Cleveland isn't even good defensively and we look bad offensively.

Pwner · 2026-04-18T14:07:49-0400

Shead has the ball in his hands too much

He's hit shots in the half, but it sure looks like Cleveland is just choosing to give that skip pass to him up.

zeke · 2026-04-18T14:10:04-0400

yeah I think we need more CMB than Poeltl this series.

wiseguy1 · 2026-04-18T14:10:05-0400

Poeltl finally did something

i still haven't lost faith in his shooting tbh. form is good. he's gotta shoot with confidence.

Yeah, that is why he should play off the ball. That is his career trajectory. If he can get there, it's up to him.

MindzEye · 2026-04-18T14:11:00-0400

Ingram's mid range has been nuts tonight.

zeke · 2026-04-18T14:13:33-0400

shead's main asset is his dribbling and passing. shooting is his weakness. playing him off-ball makes no sense.

zeke · 2026-04-18T14:14:54-0400

this is tough.

we played a really good half and still stuck 10.

no bueno.
