What game were u watching. Except for the steals he was awful. Can't do anything with the ball.
Sharing the rock? Thats what he's been doing all season.
He had 2 assists !!! Passing the ball when u cross half court is really not sharing the rock. Take off ur rose colored glasses
Teammates have to make their shots as well. If Frank werent dropping dimes the way he has been, that would be differemt. Nothing Rose colored about my view on Frank's game. He played some great D against a contender, including Lebron. For a rookie, I consider that damned good.
Nah, not really any good passes tonight. Just an excuse about missed shots.. not tonight. Frank had NO impact on the offensive side tonight. So raw on the offense, almost painful to watch. Shot was off. Need 2 more years. I guess you also think Baker is a starting SG in this league?
DUDE! One game! It's not the end of the world. The Kid was largely responsible for the big lead with his D and getting the team into their offense early. It's not as bad as you're making it out to be. Compare Frank's game to Jack's!

Our record is also a reflection of the amount of home games we have played more than anyone in the NBA. 9 Home games , 4 away games the record will flatten out
Definitely a favorable schedule right now. The Road games will come in bunches and that will be a big test.
Yeah I was going through the schedule I was amazed how front loaded with home games the schedule is, from dec 27-Feb 2 16 road games 4 home games tough stretch

I agree about the schedule so far, but no one can argue that we've way exceeded expectations at this point of the season.

This is why when we drafted him I questioned his ability to play the point. His ball skills are terrible, he has avery long way to go

Bad day? Maybe you missed all my posts about Frank needing to generate more offense. How about the one upthread where I said we need more help at PG? Frank got trashed talk by the best player on the planet, and didntt back down. Wasnt his best game, but I have no problem with the way Frank acquitted himself tonite, considering. Wasnt even on the floor when the game was lost. Picky.

Case in Point -
11:23 Jarrett Jack enters the game for Frank Ntilikina 61 - 76
5:36 Frank Ntilikina enters the game for Jarrett Jack 80 - 87
This is a key stretch cuz the Cavs got their confidence back and were rolling.

I like him but really( and not just this game) but he doesn't have any real impact on the offensive side. So raw. No penetration, never looks to shoot, passes the ball when he crosses mid court. Shot is suspect. Needs 2 years of development.

That’s awesome. We need to let this game hurt a little and need to grow some nads and swagger
Go Enes! We let lebron and wade get at least 4 key offensive rebounds in 4th. We have to dig deeper for those

I agree, he yank the entire bench out early in the 4th, when it should have been lance and KOQ, then he put lance back in to defend and took kanter out, and we got clobbered on the boards, we gave up 7 offensive rebounds in the 4th

He's a pretty good defender, but he's right, he has to be able to score from that position, and get to the FT line..which he really had no impact
This was a great learning experience. Soon this team will start closing games out. The more desperate team won tonight. I’m proud of my adopted son Frank. I’m liking my team and I’m liking the fight they have.
On a off night by KP they played well. This team needs time and more experience.

Bro, you know how the NBA is, especially when a young team is doing it to a more vet oriented team.
Tough to take, but not going to go too crazy.
Long season I know... but at least we know our guys play hard every night. Our defense was great
This is what development is.
THis is better than tanking!
KP did lost this game, could not hit a FT, low precentage of shooting and bad defense in last 5 minutes.

I was watching at a bar last night, ask Cleveland games are aired here, I agree with this take. Timmy was definitely ball stopping and his shot wasn't that great either
The game was lost with bad defense and butt being able to make clutch shots. Timmy actually made a couple tough shots but his overall game wad bad today. He was looking to shoot more and pass less, he wad going iso mode quite a bit at least in the second half when i paid more attention to the game. KP disappeared in the 4th qtr as well. Yes LeBron was clothing him but that's just a taste of what's to come. You got to earn your stripes against the best of them in adverse situations and not blame the refereeing. Who said it as going to be fair?
