The whole starting 5 for the Cavs needs to stay locked in a gym and weight room until the start of next season. Bickerstaff better learn how to make adjustments otherwise Gilbert is going to replace him. They're in a bit of a bad spot contact wise, because they need a starting 3 and some depth, but they won't have a ton of cap room for about 2 years -- right when Mitchell's contract has a player option.
Bickerstaff is jsut the coach. He can’t really adjust becaue of his personnel. They need to move Allen while he’s still in his prime and change their playing style. They need to play faster. They have too much speed and athleticism on the wing to be playing at the snail pace. I said back in December that they were goin to have a short lived postseason appearance because of the slowed down pace they played that fooled ppl into believing they were a dominant defensive team.
You seen it last night when they pushed the tempo and pace against New York early on they made runs. They played slow to maximize their player personnel and the double big lineup but now they should see that style has its limitations and gets exposed in the postseason. Unless Mobley takes another leap, they can’t come back the same as they are. Their halfcourt offense isn’t good enough
Altman goin have to get creative.
Maybe trade Jarrett Allen for John Collins but hawks already have Capela so that probabaly doesn’t do them any good
. His G-league stats aren't terrible: 23.2 ppg, 9.6 reb, 3.7 ast and 1.4 blk. He was on the bench the entire playoffs too.
