I have busted his balls quite often but I couldn’t be more PROUD of RJ BARRETT.

TRADE Jules - lol -

Mitch was amazing, but the Cavs got too many layups in the third. Then Hartenstein came in and protected the rim. That man is one of the most underrated defensive players in the NBA.

Agreed - Jules needed to be pulled not only for O but he quit on D a few times.

While Mitch was GREAT protecting the rim the late move to IHart/IQ - stabilized the high pick roll D and stopped the Garland buckets ‘ dump offs for dunks.

What a game and a crowd.

I can say I am glad I was wrong about RJ. I don't know what changed after those first 2 games but he has been amazing and efficient.
LivingLegend @ 4/23/2023 4:45 PM
Loved Mark Jackson quip…..

Early in the series it was who shot RJ but now it’s what a shot RJ.

thing with RJ is he's never a pussy. He's a tough kid and its easy to get behind him when he's playing well.

It’s gonna be wild in 2 years when Donovan, completely frustrated by getting bounced out of the playoffs, forces a trade to NY

It’s a fair question

I wonder if RJ would be playing like this if Randle had been dominating? Getting most of the touches.

The FO's going to have to see how this playoff run goes, and make some decisions.

I’ll say it again - glad we have him and not Zion or Ja.

Its a slow game and then he comes in and the pace picks up. He was active getting his hands on the ball. Those dunks and 3's when he brings it are momentum shifters and crowd pleasers at home

He is getting the HCs trust now. Maybe next off season they try working him in backing up RJ at the 3 against some match ups.

There is a reason why the Cavs wanted to avoid us.
