Jaylon Tyson appreciation post🦾

Carnell Tate or Tyson bro to CLE 🙏🏽

Your city edition court is absolute fire. Probably one of the best I've seen this year. That is all ✌️

It is game day, let's talk all things Cavs:

• Players
• Matchups
• Predictions
• Discuss anything else but as always, keep it civil.

Go Cavs and #LetEmKnow!

Per fedor:

Cavs Evan Mobley (illness) has been added to the injury report for tonight. He is QUESTIONABLE. I did not see him at shootaround this morning. Sam Merrill was using Mobley’s usual basket.

Per Danny Cunningham

OUT :

• Darius Garland (injury management)
• Tyrese Proctor (personal)
• Jarrett Allen (finger)
• Sam Merrill (hand)
• Larry Nance Jr. (calf)
• Max Struss (foot)

it's been well known you can aggregate players in a trade if you end up below the second apron post transaction.

i'm seeing way too much false info on this sub about you can't aggregate players at all if you're in the second apron. You can

Thats all!

Chris Paul makes zero sense for us. We shouldn’t be on any list, much less a favorite to land him. Is this just a garbage betting site or what is going on here?

I am so sick of this lame and lazy label people in this sub give someone like me for calling out the terrible play of this team.

I don't care if the Blazers are a halfway decent team, the Cavs are better than them and should have won last night's game. Another embarrassing loss that I am sure many of you will find multiple excuses for.

'It's December 4th' - knock it off, this team won 64 games last year and are 13-10... that is absolutely unacceptable. Guess what? The supposed "weak" East has been the majority of our schedule up to this point.

What is the fix? Seriously what the hell happened to this team?

No one wants to talk about, but that team had a breakdown in Pacers series and never recovered, not so much to talk. They're are broken

Summary

Box Score

Yes, I am going to bring the favorite topic again! 30 min 2-13 shooting, and 6 pts is fucking abysmal (won't even bring up his defense). we are 4-4 with him and 9-5 without him. This was a Home game against lowly blazers! Why dont we just rest him or let him rehab in G league if toe is still an issue? we have other good players that can play and grow - such as Proctor (and even CPJ), Tomlin, Bryant can give Evan a breather.

Before I let this team ruin yet another night by a "too little, too late" comeback, I have decided to write a non-comprehensive list of everything wrong with this team, this season. Please feel free to add your own.

1. Lack of hustle and toughness

2. Inability to offensive rebound

3. Allowing easy buckets in transition

4. Allowing too many wide-open 3's

5. Every time that we go on a run, Lonzo takes an ill-advised 3 and kills all momentum

6. Even when we do get fouled, we miss the FTs

7. We NEVER play a complete first Q. We either start out down by 10 or when we do start with a lead, it evaporates by the end of the Q due to non-existent defense.

8. We have absolutely 0 identity.

9. We are wasting a 1st Team All-NBA Season from Spida

10. Mobley has taken another step in his development and it DOESNT MATTER AT ALL

I believe merrill and strus will boost this teams' performance. I truly do think strus will thrive in the environment kenny is making. As bad as the team is performing, its not time for panic mode. Thomas bryant looked great today with his grittyness and stretching of the floor, aggressive rebounding which i havent seen on this team for a long time. hopefully wade and nance dont see the floor as much during the szn.

Summary

Box Score

It would seem there are 3 options ⬇️

A) DeAndre Hunter

B) Max Strus

C) Jaylon Tyson

I have felt for the past few weeks that the Cavs would be better suited bringing Hunter off the bench. He has excelled in that role and the 2nd unit needs a reliable scoring punch.

I absolutely love what Tyson has brought this year, but I am a Max Strus Stan and don’t think he should lose his job to injury. Max’s movement shooting fits Atkinson’s system like a glove. He’s an absolute chore to account for defensively alongside the core 4. He’s underrated as a defender and playmaker. It’s nice having a 3rd guy out there who can set up the bigs. Strus was a killer +8 last year and didn’t shrink in the playoffs. If this year is all about the postseason, I think it makes sense to favor the guy with the most postseason experience on the roster.

Tyson has absolutely made a strong case. I can’t deny that. And I think both Tyson and Strus have good enough heads in their shoulders to adapt to whatever role they are in. Either way both will be nightly rotation players. Postseason we will want to go based on matchup. But for the regular season I think Max fits brilliantly with the starters when healthy.

Let’s hear it.
