Nowitzki baffled why the Cavs haven’t played Marion

[Cloud Cloud]

Man I feel the same way.. Bron has to say something about this because he knows more then anybody what it takes to win a championship

Dellly played great, but at the end of the day he's a bench player playing starter minutes in the Finals.... And clearly the man has started to wear down.. nikka gotta got to the hospital for IVs and shyt ..

Give that man a rest and play Marion, who's bigger more physical and has played in these type of games before..

It's a disgrace the Matrix is going to retire like this not even seeing a minute of action..

I don't care what Marion has or has not done in the reg season.. The playoffs is a whole different kind of animal, and he's a proven player in this format

From Marion...

To MosGov....


I've never seen no shyt like what Blatt is doing in these finals. He'll be lucky to ever find another job again after this.

They haven't been better shooters than anybody throughout this series though. Nobody had demonstrated they warrant the minutes they have been getting outside of Bron, Tristan, and Mosgov. At worst he gives them a body and minutes.

Iman and JR at least warrant a closeout. GS would sag off of Marion and pay no respect. If Blatt finds a way to use him without hurting their offense, it'd be a masterstroke.

Cavs have too much dead weight on their bench.

Shouldn't bring in guys like Marion if you don't think they can even give you 5-10 quality minutes.

 

[Made Myself A Boss]

Wait. There are people who think Blatt makes personnel decisions?

During the post game presser of game 5, that's what somebody asked him in regards to Marion..

To people who watch basketball what he's doing is weird..

They are already short handed with Love and Irving out..

Then he decided to sit the second leading scorer for long stretches in Mozgov making them basically down 3 starters..

And hes not even playing guys like Marion and Miller who have been here before. Hes telling Bron to go out and get 40 plus points and a triple double every night, or else

These JACs gotta to go He's an idiot for riding Delly for 40 minutes a game

I mean but is that even possible at this point? At worst he misses open shots, just like everybody else, while giving them a breather. At best he actually knocks one or two down and gives them and even longer breather. There is literally no risk involved here.

At worst, he tightens the floor for LeBron, takes away the Cavs' ability to post LBJ up, and makes it impossible for them to run PnRs.

Dirk is only saying this because he's a former teammate thats about to retire and because he can do so without much backlash because Americans for the most part don't respect Blatt.

I'm surprised it took him this long to vocally back Marion. He's not the reason they are losing this series.

I feel like the public/media has to point a finger.

Lebron should be fielding personel question s

 

[G-Zeus]

People forgot he was put in the starting line up....where he got injured

 

[Juggalo Fred]

he's gonna retire - might as well give him 3 minutes to see what he's got left

 

[Eye Cue DA COLI GAWD]

Blatt tried to turn Love into Ryan Anderson. Full you think he care about Marion. Blatt got a front row seat on the LeBron roller coaster. Nikka ain't doing shyt.

He's done after this series... book it.

 

[NatiboyB]

Man if that dude is healthy then Blatt on some Spo mess or Andy Reid Mess.

Damn may as well throw him out there for a few minutes in the first if he's healthy...I assumed he was just injured...

 

[Made Myself A Boss]

Gonna trust Blatt's judgement over the fan view. Wasn't that long ago where people were raving about him out coaching Kerr

Nobody was saying that..

Bron was averaging 42 ppg, and Delly was playing out of his mind defensively

These coaches get too much credit as it is now, but anybody who would credited Blatt for that is an idiot

I said long time ago Steve Kerr is trying to ware the Cavs down with 10 man rosters all series long, and I thought Blatt would recognize extend his as well.. But this idiots stays trying ride 7 guys.. Thats why the Cavs always fall flat in the fourth quarters

1-8 the Cavs are better then the Warriors...Problem is Steve Kerr knows that and he's playing 10 guys... and basically he's just trying to ware the Cavs down and out effort them for 48 mins.

fukking rookie

I figure if he has anything left he will show it in what may be the last game of his career.
