Yeah I also mentioned that... it was also against the same opponent.
So, he’s trying harder on defense, but on a night to night basis he still pretty much the same guy. He has his 30 point nights, he has his 15 point nights. He had a historic 70 point night. Good for him, but I wouldn’t say he’s eons above the best Utah version of himself. Last year he totally mailed it in which I think gives a clouded perspective of how good he was at times here. Donovan’s talent or the fact some nights he can totally go off, isn’t the question. Can he get the Cavs any further than he did Utah? Time will tell, but I’d bet on 2nd round is as far as he gets there too. (BTW anyone notice when they cut from his postgame all those white fans in the crowd, bet that infuriated him…sorry had to).
All the local sport analysts said they felt he was gone at or near the end of the contract. I'm sure the front office felt the same way. Also everything he has said since the trade seems to back this narrative up.
I’d say that his remarks regarding Utah and it’s response to his pro BLM “social activism” was confirmation enough. And I’m not taking any sides in this grievance either because though I did live there and didn’t experience what he’s referring to, I didn’t have his perspective either.
I agree with your assessment of his play this year as opposed to his time in Utah and most particularly last season. So much better imo, particularly his defense but also reflected in his assist numbers. But the part that’s really off the charts different is his clutch play this year! Night and day difference. I mean make your own conclusions but for me, from a holistic perspective (a performer is only as good as his audience), Snyder was not a clutch coach and by extension, did not imbue confidence or provide competent guidance in those situations.
he became a little more available, but having both of them is probably far more advantageous for winning a ring. They have like 4 sf's they rotate all the time. None of them are ever locked in as the starter and none are more than 4th options, but all of them are hustle defenders that fit pretty well with the smaller guards and giant front court.
Yeah…and a few nights earlier was Donovan expendable because Garland dropped 50? I swear some of you are such live in the moment morons lol. Again…he’s had plenty of nights where he’s had as many or more shots than points this season too. Who’s complaining? He’s not on this team. He ain’t won anything but a 1st round playoff series and isn’t going to in Cleveland either.
You have no idea what he is going to do, but he just gave you every reason to stfu last night. Instead it made you feel the need to try to talk it away as if he didn't. go home to wherever that is loser
No he didn’t because the game before he did his whole more shots than points appearance lol. He dropped 50+ in the bubble and 40+ a bunch of times. Did us a lot of good when he quit didn’t it? Second round exits impending. He won’t accomplish **** in Cleveland either and will leave there too. I will bet you a fair sum he’s a 2nd round exit at the most this season, next season, then leaves and does the exact same garbage he did here. Enjoy. He has the capability of going off, that’s obvious and was before last night too lol. Let’s see him accomplish more than a 2nd round exit for his team.
Yeah…keep the guy who gave up for a full year of his $30 million a year contract and for an entire playoff series.(I mean he got pulled over and got given attitude by a cop….cry emoji……like the rest of us…plus he hates white people so cry for him)Really smart. You’re a moron, but everyone already knew that.
