So after not scoring in double figures for the first 33 games of his career, Anthony Bennett has now done it 3 times out of the last 5. As an added bonus, he’s looking slimmer. And he seems to be gaining confidence a little bit. Time to remove that big ol’ bust label that was, perhaps hastily, affixed to his chest, I guess.
But no matter how good Bennett performs, nothing can save the grotesque and mutated season the Cavs are having. They just got trounced by a horrible Lakers squad made even more horrible by injuries. What went wrong? This was supposed to be a playoff team.
I don’t have the answers. But when I find myself in a moment of doubt, I have one rule of thumb to always turn to: “Blame the Australian”. So screw you, Dellavedova. I hope you’re happy that you ruined the Cavaliers’ season.
