Mo, Suggs and JI played their hearts out, but sadly they couldn't help much on offense.

u/SonicNarcotic Paolo Banchero Apr 20 '24
Paolo's defence was there too.. Unfortunately his turnovers were high today, but it was his first taste of Playoff basketball, so..
Mo, Suggs and JI brought great energy in moments, but overall the entire team seemed to be suffering from stage-fright (nerves)...

this was just game 1 boys. our team is young and the best way to learn is experience

u/bchill13 Apr 20 '24
83 points just ain't gonna cut it. When offense is such a struggle, can't miss as many free throws as this team does.
5
u/themoreyouknow_95 Apr 20 '24
This game sucks, but people should chill on drawing big conclusions for the series. Playoffs are not the same as the regular season, big swings happen all the time.
I don't feel great with the way our offense has been closing out the year but there's still a lot of basketball left to be played.

u/johall Apr 20 '24
We shot historically bad and still got within 15. Make FTs and even SOME more 3’s and we’re going to be ok

u/theImplication69 Apr 21 '24
Cavs also shot historically bad from 3. 0-18 run

u/johall Apr 21 '24
44% from the floor and 81% FTs. Let’s not act like they were offensively awful
12% better from the floor, 18% better FT

Donovan Mitchell is such a likable player.

u/SonicNarcotic Paolo Banchero Apr 20 '24
Without Mitchell, that's a pretty poor team... He played really well overall, took control of the game several times when we started clawing it back...

Trailed by 10+ for the entire game with very occasional runs to get out hopes up. Once again hoping for better offense next game.

Nah no 3pt shooting all season.

Our shooting percentages were all down on our averages.. Meaning, we can and have shot better, but not today...

u/Careless-Yam-3823 Paolo Banchero Apr 20 '24
AB needs minutes that are going to Gary and fultz

u/themoreyouknow_95 Apr 20 '24
This, he may be the best defender of the three, and frankly can't shoot any worse than any of them

u/Yung_Hibachi Apr 20 '24
Embarrassing! But we didn’t need to make any moves at the deadline I was told. This is what was always gonna happen.

u/mylastphonecall Paolo Banchero Apr 20 '24
insane how we were beating teams like the Celtics and starting AB and Goga and we stopped running that lineup and we start dropping easy games and getting killed this game on boards and in the post 🤔

u/Dr_McPogi Paolo Banchero Apr 20 '24
You know that was 60 games ago right? What a pointless observation. Get over it. We're not starting AB and Goga in the playoffs.

u/mylastphonecall Paolo Banchero Apr 20 '24
yes because observing what consistently beat contenders is a pointless observation... nice. love how this sub is full of people that continuously show they don't know ball. you should link me your take on who we should pick #1 in the Paolo draft.
0
u/Dr_McPogi Paolo Banchero Apr 20 '24
It really is. I like Goga but he hasn't played meaningful minutes for at least half the season. He's not going to be tossed in there now. They've got Mo and Wendell playing at the same time because these are guys Mos trusts even though they basically got no minutes together all year. So whatever you and I think about a guy who has 3 other centers ahead of him is pointless and just adds to the negativity. I can see AB getting minutes, but trying to make a point that AB and Goga starting is the answer, is just you trying to be clever. It's a 7 game series. Get it together.
And I wanted Chet, happy with Paolo, didn't want Jabari. I also wanted Okafor instead of Dwight. What other pointless shit you wanna banter about?
1
u/mylastphonecall Paolo Banchero Apr 20 '24
at that point literally every comment is useless because we aren't the coach. online forums are for discussions, saying a comment is useless or pointless because you are not quite literally the coach and going out of your way to be an asshole is what brings negativity.
lmfao makes sense. I don't trust the opinion of anyone that thought Chet could be a first option or thought he was the guy for this team. always flawed logic and lacking ball knowledge.
literally everything is pointless to you so stfu and stop replying then

I agree, but if Harris and fultz are gonna play and make absolutely no shots, I might as well was a taller defender out there

I think I'd rather start WCJ over him to match up with Cavs bigs.

Gary Harris needs to be off the team. He is probably the worst player I’ve seen in my life — worse than Chris Duhon.

u/lickthetips Apr 20 '24
Who knows?! When we drafted Paolo he started shooting the 3 ball and playing the perimeter more. We need to create space for Franz and Paolo but I don't understand how the rest of his game completely fell off. When he first got here, he was great in the pick and roll, had good hands, was a great finisher, and could play some bully ball with a decent post game. All of that has disappeared.

He was bad today but his world championship run last summer shows your take is not right.

He shrunk today, and it showed in his play. Hey, I want him to make me eat a fat slice of humble pie because I want the team to succeed.
He was charmin SOFT today.

What's a fair trade? I think top targets are Donavan Mitchell, Monk, maybe Murray from ATL.

u/dwninaho Apr 20 '24
Gary is such a fraud man. Him and Fultz better not be brought back. They don't help the offense at all and we cannot continue being this bad offensively if we actually want to improve.
There are guys out there who are not big names that can help this team move forward.

u/Virtual-Quantity7120 Paolo Banchero Apr 20 '24
Think I would bench Fultz and Harris after this game and put in Black and Houstan

u/Background_Ruin_5880 Apr 20 '24
He's arguably improved in every facet of his game outside three point shooting. It's his three-ball that's been heavily off this year.

u/Programmer-Gullible Apr 20 '24
Lmfao of all things you’re blaming Franz? Sure he’s only got 18-5-3 but he’s still shorting 50% when we’re 34% as a team. He’s also got 0 turnovers unlike Paolo’s 9. This is a team loss but Franz is far from the reason.

This game went as about I expected. This is how we looked before that last win at home. Our weaknesses have been exposed. I’m curious to see if we make adjustments for game 2. Our guards and our bench have got to be better.

Playoffs means that the bench is shorter and the teams generally go with their starters longer. Jingles playing would be unusual on most teams.
