De'Andre Hunter might be the biggest waste of talent in the association. Dude has all the tools to be a force on both ends of the floor and just floats his way through games.

The Cavs are tied for most games played in the association (25), and have the best record among these teams (tied with Atlanta). Things are gonna turn around here.

Enjoyed the Cavs game last night despite the shooting and the score. Everyone save Hunter (the Association's laziest help defender) played hard. A week off will do them wonders. Warriors better coached (16 minutes for Tomlin was malpractice) and they executed better.

Hunter in the starting lineup is the worst thing right now. There's not enough shots to go around with three other high usage players and he doesn't rebound or defend. Put him back on the bench and earn his minutes. Put Tomlin or Wade in the starting lineup till Wade is back.

I hated watching Lonzo Ball chucking, but he can stop that and be more judicious. He still played good D, rebounded and moved the rock. Garland has to play his way back, but Hunter remains the laziest help defender in the association, doesn't rebound or get stocks. He's Rodney Hood with a wing span

One for the worst coached Cavs games of the year. Just chucking threes and playing at the Blazers' pace all game. I get Garland has to play his way back, but Hunter's lazy ass has to has to has to go back to the bench for more D and rebounding in the starting lineup. That means Tomlin or Wade.

The fix is easy. Make cup games worth more, pool wins worth a couple points in the standings, and finals and cup championships worth 3-5 more so teams can rest after. Drop the regular season by at least ten games, but make cup wins worth enough to get to theoretically get to 82 possible wins/points.
New for @theathletic.com - yes, I'm a big fan of the NBA Cup, but I'm also worried it's asking way too much of everyone schedule-wise. The evidence is hard to ignore:
