Farewell, Timofey Mozgov

[supermario21]

I don't think Gasol had an easy bucket until halfway through the 3rd...And Pau is one of the best bigs in the East in terms of being skilled on offense.

 

[Mr. MacPhisto]

Yep, a couple times he clearly fouled just to send a message. Good move too, as the game was out of reach for the Bulls at the time.

Exactly. Make a statement that the you've got to earn the paint. The Cavaliers will not let penetration go unpunished anymore.

It feels like I should have made a sex joke there for some reason.

 

[Frank Stallone]

He's way better offensively than I originally thought. He's very comfortable already, some of that can be attributed to his experience with Blatt I assume.

But early on this is looking like a sneaky great pick-up.

Same! I honestly had no idea he had that longer range shot.

Mozgov is now my favorite Russian.

He's my favorite MALE Russian. There are hundreds of female Russians I prefer over him.

Only hundreds?

My biggest thing with trades and acquisitions is sometimes not what they can contribute themselves, but rather how does their implementation into the lineup impact and benefit those players already on the roster. I think tonight, we saw the power of spacing, defensive rotation and movement as brought to you by Mozgov's presence. Love looked to have one of his best two-way games of the year IMO and we saw really great things from Tristan on the glass.

Mozgov's presence almost set up a natural defensive structure where each big man could carry out his own particular role and not have to worry about being exposed for over-compensating or showing their flaws. The presence of the big man shows that a lot of the bad traits this team has can be cancelled out by altering the personnel and balancing the workload.

As for Mozgov, great game. He really shutdown Pau who is having one of his best seasons so far.

 

[Frank Reynolds]

We have to do whatever to keep this guy healthy. Pack the guy in ice, feed him like a fucking king.

This dude is a workhorse, and we're going to desperately need his full health and services for playoff basketball.

 

[Man Called X]

The Moz has still only shown you a glimpse of what he can do. The Moz will win DPOY next year.

Reserving comment until I know age.

P.S: Mozgof was a great pickup. Just what the Cavs needed.

 

[BimboColesHair]

9.3 points, 9 rebounds, 1 block, 53.4% from the floor in just 26.3 minutes a game since being traded for. He has replaced Andy's production and then some if he can keep this up.

 

[Snarly]

My god while watching this game in the east this guy will real havok. He is so perfect for this team and plays hard. I knew it though again in the east during the play offs he will be a problem. This guy and not sure if it is Blatt but he seems so smart and is huge. I love this dude.

 

[math-yoo]

Somebody call Denver and ask if they want another first.

 

[Snarly]

I say we rename this back to adding man crush to the title. Because and true Cavs fan right now has to have a man crush on this dude. Oh for females if you want him we understand and will not argue your choice. #Mozgod Trend that Shizz!

I have already made some phone calls about getting a uterus implanted, so I can have his child.

Heh, heh, no, not really, but, umm, yeah.
