What a fingernail-biting game and nutsack-ripping game thread! So glad the Cavs won or there would be keyboard blood dripping everywhere on RCF for weeks!
First of all, VERY promising to see Garland play so well in the final minutes. This was the biggest surprise IMO and it's something we'll need from him more so Mitchell's back doesn't break.
Loved Mobley's and Okoro's defense down the stretch. Speaking of, I was sort of glad Niang fouled out when he did so we wouldn't have to see more of his lack thereof. Still can't wait for Deaner to return after the break so he can lock down some of the tougher opposition again.
I thought JA set some better screens tonight.
As for the Bulls, now y'all see why Coby White drives me nuts, lol. I think he honestly hates Vucevic and will only force-throw to him carelessly, as we saw tonight. I once saw him freeze out Vucevic for basically an entire game; I believe that was against OKC on opening night. He's a great shooter, but a rather annoying player in many ways.
And yes, DeRozan's flopping is also annoying.
So yeah, SO glad the Cavs won this. We can breathe a sight of relief for a number of days now.
