Farewell, Timofey Mozgov

Career highlights (including cavs highlights through to last night)

Noticed that too, he was giving up the baseline every time. All he had to do was move like a foot to his right. That was weird.

I don't watch Pek alot, so I don't know for sure, but usually when a defender overplays a player to a side, its because of scouting/coaching, but Pek still had no problem scoring.

Pek is a bruiser and has a legit NBA post game. Moz probably wanted to take his right baby hook away so Pek countered. No biggie, it's the regular season. Come playoff time, defenders will be coached to take away the opponents favorite moves.

Thing is Nicole is ultra soft on defense.

Pek makes most NBA centers look charmin soft.

 

[AustinCarr]

Pek is a poor defender due to physical limitations. He is not fast and can't really jump. But he IS a bruiser. Poor D does not always mean "soft". Pek definitely falls in that category.

He should care much more about defense and not offense. I'll take more blocks and rebounds over additional points from him.

Twitter wars are always fun when one person is blind to the fact.

"Trading 2 1sts for Mozgov is dumber than Seattle's last play call"

This guy thinks we traded lottery picks or something. Then he says tweet him back when May comes.

Wrong. We need him to hit shots occasionally so that he can help space the floor at times. Floor spacing is everything in the modern NBA, and when a center can help with this it can make all the difference in the playoffs.

 

[CavsHomer]

Anyone else concerned with Mozzy's high foul rate (4,6 per 36 minutes)?

He had fould troubles at Denver, so nothing is new here. Hope Blatt can fix it.
