LoL Cleveland.

I had this game on my IPad while watch that sh*t show that was TNF. Didn't take long for Dion Waiters to get frustrated. Lebron missed him wide open twice in the corner on back to back plays before turning the ball over.

On paper I have no idea how the Knicks pulled out this W. But good for them.

You've had his balls in your mouth since last year's playoffs.

 

Yeah Lebron is still a great player but he's going to have to learn how to compensate for declining athleticism as he gets older.  I wouldn't go as far as saying that he's lost a step.......but I can see him losing a step off in the horizon.  I'm not sure how great his game is going to be when he's no longer the most athletic player on the floor.

These type of situations almost always take time to develop.

Remember how crappy Miami looked early on in Lebron's 1st season?

 

Cleveland is definitely going to find some cohesion at some point, but I'm not sure  they're going to be the favorites coming out of the East.  I think Chicago will take their lunch money.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
