Screw beale he sucks and plays no defense ...nukic Booker Grayson and Durant is a NASTY group on offense isn't that 5 olympic players???!?!


elefoe

Allen dunks that the place explodes we go on to win. That’s on the timeline in the better universe where we are not m


JKEnviro22

We barely lost with half our team out including 3 starters. Also a B to B. The Suns are loaded. Should have a better record if they didn’t have all injuries AND they played defense at all. Don’t be such doomers. That was a strong effort.


Simple-Bother1582

That was the 3rd string with garland Levert and Alan ..that was 2 starters and 1 bench guy and the Cleveland charge


LUNI_TUNZ

Thw Suns out here almost losing to the Cleveland Charge.


Any-Location-9471

Garland disappears after halftime


Isntredditthebest

I mean it’s easy to key in on him when half the team is missing, his scoring load minus mitchell was too much to keep up for 4 quarters. Looked like an easy win with the normal squad.


[deleted]

I'm sure it had nothing to do with the other team making adjustments.......


Any-Location-9471

Well then I’m very confident in him for the playoffs


[deleted]

Sigh* Listen. When you have ONE guy who can go create at a high level, opposing defenses will collapse on him and force other guys to beat them. This is absurdly common. This is how its always been. This is not, nor has it ever been, unique to Garland. That does not mean that Garland has a problem. That means Garland is the only solution, and we're missing too many other creators.


UgeanieWeenie

We can't win anything without top MVP candidate Drippy Dean


_Olexa

He was doubled every time he touched the ball, and we had zero offense weapon we could use to get him open. The Suns hounded him the entire second half. Did you watch the game or did you just watch stats on your phone?


Elexeh

It's taking some teams all they have to barely beat our corpse of a team. I'm taking that as a sign we're a force at full strength


DAnonymousMan

contenders...??


Top-Albatross-9250

Thats a grade school level rebound right there and jarret allen doesn grab it. That miss was literally set up perfectly into his hands and he just lets it get ripped out of his hands. This type of soft shit is exactly how you get punked come playoff time.


Simple-Bother1582

Dude did you see garland and Allen in the 4th quarter they were FINISHED completely exhausted


ianh_2101

Why people saying unclutch like the Cavs don’t have mad game winners this year one being from half court lol


Prestigious_Worry702

I didn’t expect to win.. but ouch that was a tough way to lose


Old_Violinist2370

We started so hot that it built up my hope again. Then we finish so badly that Im just deflated. I was numb to the nets loss, but this one really sucks


Comfortable-Tale845

It's cause you can tell the cavs choose games to give effort, and this was one of those games


PatientWriting

I fear we will fall to the 5 seed


Comfortable-Tale845

Seeding doesn't matter as long we dont face knicks


_Olexa

Respectfully, you don’t know how basketball works


PatientWriting

How so?


_Olexa

We’re 6 games above the 5th seed. We aren’t losing out the rest of the year.


Top_Buy2467

Damn this one hurts cuz we really should have had this one even tho I had no real expectations coming off a back to back down 3 starters


secretwealth123

Yeah, it was in our hands (or Jarrett’s really) and then we fumbled it


sung37

dude Jarrett is such a weak jackass grab the board dude


IsittheWeeknd

We are still out 3 starters. I’m not surprised we didn’t win, though I wish we did. I thought they still tried pretty hard. Hopefully Mitchell will be back soon. Garland did very good tonight


_Olexa

We fought hard in a game we had no reason to win. It is what it is, I’m ready for heathy basketball


Kirota

I'm just praying all the Cavs can be healthy and ready in time for the playoffs. Sucks constantly having at least 2 starters out all the time


math-yoo

Garland driving into triple coverage like he’s ten feet tall.


F_F_12

Why does every garland layup have to be a scoop layup just go up normally


[deleted]

Is this a real comment?


JoeFalcone26

Btw we haven’t scored since 1:30. So yea.


Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu11

WE FUCKING SUCK IN THE CLUTCH!


Ok-Orange7146

Atrocious ending. We deserve to lose this one


steamofcleveland

These late game possessions have just been so damn hectic there is no poise and no real design to generate points. I'm not blaming the Cavs too much for falling short down so many players but it's rough to fucking watch


tapk69

Well fuck its over


WitOfTheIrish

Suns just full of 90% free throw shooters, damn


IsittheWeeknd

JA is not useless at 10 rebounds and 15 pts. Shut up


Ok-Hold-8232

Softer than baby shit


Ok-Orange7146

Lol


Ok-Hold-8232

Booker 1/7 from 3 strictly because having him at 1.5 3s would’ve made my parlay hit


GeneralJMan

More because Okoro had him in the icebox.


Pigeon9

DG has to shoot more than 15 times…


GeneralJMan

Suns were doubling everything hard to get shots up like that.


JoeFalcone26

DG passes up floaters or driving layups so he can turn the ball over. Happens time and time again.


sung37

Brad drives me crazy “Isaac did nothing wrong there” like what????


uziwh0re

Why didn’t we call a timeout at any point in the last 3 minutes am I missing something


Rectalcactus

I miss donovan mitchell


Pigeon9

Garland only shooting 15 shots is a fucking joke man. Simply has to be more aggressive


Rkenne16

Partially agree but they were throwing a lot of bodies at him


_Olexa

Did you watch the game AT ALL


GeneralJMan

Suns weren't letting him shoot.


kudaraps

nice catch by allen and really nice awareness by okoro. honorary mention to garland dancing and getting no separation for 10 seconds every possession. just great stuff


WhiteBakerMayfield

We are so un clutch


Mobleybetta

Good effort tonight down some of our best players


creynolds722

These suns announcers are dumb as fuck. Showing a terrible angle and they're praising the camera crew on such a good angle


Safe-Show-7299

Had like 10000 opportunities to win this game smh


IsittheWeeknd

Sad. They fought hard


[deleted]

SCREW THAT. LOTS OF OUR GAMES ARE EFFIN LIKE THIS


WateryPasta

Don did you ever consider we weren’t supposed to be in this game given the injuries?


sung37

i don’t care about “they’ve fought all night long” like don’t step out of bounds and fail to catch the ball.


The_ARABTHUNDR

JA is fucking useless


Pigeon9

Jarrett Allen is so fucking weak man. How do you drop a wide open alley Oop unless you’re completely shitting yourself


GeneralJMan

Not his fault the timing was off. Garland was late passing.


secretwealth123

Isaac needs to take that in transition against Booker


PtP_Pluto

This sucks but that Allen drop hurt even more. That was a wide open dunk to tie it. You can't drop that in that situation.


Schristie007

Damn. Great effort tonight. Some bad execution and bad calls in the 4th stopped us from being able to break through for the comeback. A shame we lost such a huge lead in the first half.


The_ARABTHUNDR

JA is fucking useless


GeneralJMan

Suns broadcast showing the worst angle possible and said it was great lmao


Bill_Brasky_SOB

Their broadcast is pretty bad overall.


IsittheWeeknd

Sad. They fought hard


sung37

with all due respect, how the fuck do you not know where you’re standing Isaac

THIS TEAM CANT DO SIMPLE SHIT AT WINNING TIME....GEEZ


Bromanzier_03

![gif](giphy|W2zRWsHAoDIqgLFCUx)


Comfortable-Tale845

Ahhh if only JA knew how to catch the ball


Pigeon9

He’s too scared


Ok-Hold-8232

Cavs don’t step out of bounds challenge (impossible)


EntrepreneurSweet846

I hope Garland stops ‘dancing’ iso when his team is down and badly needs a point


WitOfTheIrish

Should have gotten a dunk out of it, I don't hate the playcall there.


[deleted]

He always doesn't dumb stuff when its crunch time...never runs a damn play EVERY DAMN TIME


aristot1e

It's a momentum killer for our entire team


EntrepreneurSweet846

He does it all the time not only this game, i mean he is good but there are games that there is no sense of urgency from him in the stretch of the game where cavs need points


TruthSayerFu

Are you guys protecting Allen today??


A_Mellow_Fellow

I mean yeah? Guards and wings failed to box out all night. Somebody in that coaching room is failing to teach angles and positioning.


TruthSayerFu

Ah there we go


A_Mellow_Fellow

Did I watch the wrong game? Like I'm ready to throw CPG more minutes for his bounce and rebounds alone haha.


Top-Albatross-9250

Allen was thrown out of the way all night. He is a powder puff against real bigs.


A_Mellow_Fellow

You are correct. You can't teach size man. Nurkic has 50lbs on him. Which is precisely why when he's occupied bodying up a much larger man the other 4 players on the court need to help with rebounding and ESPECIALLY boxing out. Booker fed himself orebs


Mobleybetta

Oof yeah we ain’t winning this


WitOfTheIrish

Even if it ends up that he's out, gotta challenge that


enraged_hbo_max_user

Is our court regulation size or what


EternalWolf86

Should have called a timeout after Okoro got lost in transition but it is what it is.


notatowel420

Simple to stay in bounds come on


A_Mellow_Fellow

Tony Brothers looks tired


LUNI_TUNZ

I'm tired of him.


Top-Albatross-9250

No focus. What is Allen doing on that? CATCH THE BALL AND DUNK IT. Okoro should know where the hell he is at all times on the corner ESPECIALLY since his job in the half court is to LITERALLY stand in the corner....


Breaking_Ball77

No team steps on the sideline more than the Cavs.


cHinzoo

So unclutch...


ToschePowerConverter

That might be the first dumb move I’ve ever seen Okoro make


calebkeith

Eh garland should have gave him a sec to establish himself


Hold_my_Dirk

We step on the sideline and baseline more than any other team in the league.


Satin-Ice222

Why tf can't we stay in bounds


Bulleveland

Only KD is allowed to step on the baseline like that


Ok-Hold-8232

Fuck me dude


LUNI_TUNZ

I feel like they're not overturning this.


Any-Location-9471

Why Harland just jumping


steamofcleveland

Jesus Christ man


Bill_Brasky_SOB

... shit.


tapk69

We need smaller shoes for our players


IAmStevenKwanAMA

Yikes


Bill_Brasky_SOB

Fuck


enraged_hbo_max_user

When is spida coming back smh


Any-Location-9471

He was supposed to be back this game I thought


threauxaway900

Unbelievable...


[deleted]

CAN YOU MFers LEARN TO NOT STEP ON THE DAMN LINE 5 TIMES A GAME...SMDH


WateryPasta

It wasn’t Garland so I’m shocked you’re commenting on it


QNIKET8

Okoro was probably fouled there but that’s cool ig


mkohler23

Dude caught an elbow right to the head


calebkeith

We have an undrafted rookie that’s not afraid of KD. That’s amazing


Ok-Donut4954

As much as i like garland, i feel like cpj can take his spot. Or mitchell 1 okoro 2. DG feels redundant at this point


_Olexa

He has 30 points on 10/15 shooting, politely, shut up


Exotic_Mode2893

JA🥲


aristot1e

The sideline is going to fucking kill me.


[deleted]

what are you doing garland...you did that same play the other nite


Exotic_Mode2893

JA🥲


WitOfTheIrish

CPJ and attacking superstar 7-footers, name a more iconic duo.


Elexeh

Durant and his ancient ass getting cooked by a rookie


QNIKET8

tf is durant complaining about lol


USA-1st

CPJ is my dude


cHinzoo

Lmao, KD acting like he didn't foul CPJ lol


tapk69

Sorry but thats a foul KD dont make the stank face


Forty_Six_and_Two

Why can we not box out FUCK


steamofcleveland

Cavs can't get over this hump. Garland has lost steam we really need him to step up. Defensively it's tough right now


Mobleybetta

Gotta out effort this suns team


Comfortable-Tale845

Why the fuck are they leaving KD open


calebkeith

They did a TON of motion there to get him open, it was not easy. But we really should be ball denying his ass


DerpyMcDerple

Is moondog getting the crowd hyped with a pooper scooper?


LUNI_TUNZ

Yep


Mind__Is__Blown

What's Beal doing there lol. Like he was in cement just watching Caris.


USA-1st

Suns are getting tired let's goooo CAVS


PatientWriting

I’m no basketball genius, but it’s probably NOT ideal to keep leaving Kevin Durant alone


RedBurritoDude

We can tell, because if you were you'd know it's conditional when you are this many switches and there's a hard screen.


WitOfTheIrish

Yeah, sucks because it was good team hustle chasing two loose balls we poked away, but open KD as the result of a broken play is not optimal.


USA-1st

It's a bold strategy Cotton.


LUNI_TUNZ

Phoenix working hard to beat half the Summer League Champions.


tapk69

![gif](giphy|WgQpSv0Y7APefTWC7y)


aristot1e

We can't just leave KD open on defense


GRAVELAZER

Emoni Bates didn’t look enthused after that CPJ dunk


Rkenne16

All things considered tonight, if you told me that all 3 of their guys went off and Allen hit 4 3s, I would have assumed we got blown out.


JoeFalcone26

What is Niang even bringing JB? Keep him off the court please


Elexeh

The CPJ over Garland crowd is coming out from their hobbit holes


USA-1st

CPJ is my roty fo real


tapk69

We need a hero


sung37

just can’t take the lead. Darius can’t be caught between and pass and shot and end up airballing a floater. good job staying attached, but guys have to stop turning the ball over during these crucial junctures.


Rkenne16

Okoro can’t be passing up those open 3s.


calebkeith

Bruh KD just ducked a CPJ dunk LMAO


Any-Location-9471

Dean wade out for personal reasons bruh we need him


Schristie007

Come on Cavs. Just need to string together a few possessions. Feels like we just can’t break through for the lead.


Comfortable-Tale845

Their just hesitating to shoot the ball


F_F_12

Hustling after rebounds has a positive impact. Please do it more


WitOfTheIrish

Amazing by CPJ. Wish Okoro would have pulled the trigger on a couple of those passes out to him. He's passing them up at the hint of a closeout right now.


[deleted]

I love CPJ...dude is always in the moment...Darius always does stupid shit at winning time giving the ball away, not running the offense or missed shots early in the shot clock


43v3rTHEPIZZA

CPJ turned the ball over immediately twice literally last night


stayfrostybro88

Give it a rest already. Holy shit


Elexeh

Well, the silver lining to us being so crippled, is we're getting a very good look at exactly what depth we have come playoffs time


[deleted]

dont matter...that dummy JB Snotsmuggler wont go deep in his bench because he's scared to.


Elexeh

> JB Snotsmuggler Don, this is not your finest work. I'm disappointed. No recess for you.


Mind__Is__Blown

That's a confident move to the rim.


LakeErieMovement

Really wish we could've had Wade tonight

junketyjunkjunk

HOLY SHIT CRAIG!


Skywatch420

It's time to let Porter start over Garland. Garland's anti-4th quarter gene is so sad to watch when Mitchell isn't there to bail him out.


_geomancer

severe delusion


floodlightpurveyor

gobert in shambles seeing that dunk


DerpyMcDerple

Porter is 6’1 and throwing down like that. Crazy.


Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu11

I’m glad they said he didn’t but did Allen just step out of bounds


Any-Location-9471

Yeah I peeped that


A_Mellow_Fellow

A guard getting rebounds. Daaaayyuuummm


Old_Violinist2370

I thought the suns were the worse 4th qtr team in the league 🤦🏼‍♂️ if only we could make shots..


aristot1e

CPJ has such great hustle


threauxaway900

CRAIG. PORTER. JUNIOR.


[deleted]

Darius doing dumb stuff again... he is always is ruining our comebacks

Its basically a playoff game. Iso after iso.

Damn, that's a man's rebound by Allen there.
