Right. I didn’t think he would be great but I also didn’t think he would be as bad as he’s been.

These are the type of games that will be extremely hard to win when your two beat players cannot play big minutes.

Yep, Trey is not clutch against top teams. He can beat the so so teams.

Trey Murphy sucks. Once he switched on Mitchell i knew that was game over.

Mitchell is a mismatch for everyone outside of Herb and DJM.

Not really a surprise I’ve seen Mitchell dog walk many players over the years.

This one's on me. Dominated until I had to walk into a dinner mid 4th

Can't be mad at such loss. Cavs are playing for top 2-3 seed and we are playing for building chemistry. And we lost simply because Harden and Mitchell are great players and we missed few consecutive wide open 3s which would have stopped the bleeding.
Let's find some Sam Merrills', Duncan Robinsons', Luke Kenards'...to replace Poole and Hawkins. I'am fine with our bigs, who just have to keep developing.

We just needed a functional Poole to manage the game when both Murray and Zion sat mid 4th quarter. Hard to beat opposing star players when they play an upwards of 39 minutes while our best player can not match those minutes.

Unfortunately Poole is unplayable against any type of serious team.

I think even a McGowens to give you some minutes would help at times. He was solid this year in his role.

Was it foul trouble or are they still handling him with kid gloves?

It’s beyond time to play him for 40 minutes and tell him to either get his conditioning right or suffer out there.

Obviously Murray is on Achilles management so he's not going to play crazy minutes right now.

Zion exceeded 35 minutes once this season and it was an overtime game. They've been trying keep his average to 30mpg for each month.

January: 30.3
February: 30.3
March: 30.1

I was wondering why his minutes were so inconsistent from game to game where there's some games where he plays 27-28 minutes while some games they play him 33-34 minutes. And when I looked at it from a monthly average, it makes sense. They are picking and choosing which games they want let him maximize his minutes and some games where they want to limit him minutes. I'm assuming this is going to be a long term thing with him in order to try to keep him healthy.
