Farewell, Timofey Mozgov

[Kizzle]

Shout out to Mozgov on 2k15

Hes lockin bullshit PG drives up

I think Mozilla is the consensus based off the last couple pages.

Also, I think transitory monikers are acceptable, such as: Mozgov the Conqueror, Mozgov the Destroyer, Mozgov Herald of Woe, Mozgov the Unholy and Mozgov the Sexy.

They sound like Sword and Fantasy Movie titles of the 80s - Conan The Barbarian, Conan The Destroyer, Kull The Conqueror ... lol

We will see more flashes of that defense tonight hopefully, because the cavs will really really struggle if he doesnt defend DemCo.

DeMarcus is offensively elite and huge. I hope Timofey puts up some good resistance but lets make sure our expectations are realistic for that individual matchup.

I agree, I just hope that he is able to make Cousins' shots much more difficult.

If he pulls down Cousins' shorts every time he tries to dunk, Cousins will stop trying to dunk.

The Burmese call it the "Coach K Special."

Cousins is an absolute destroyer of worlds this year. Not much you're gonna be able to do to contain him.

Mozgov will put up some resistance, but his more important role is being the last line of defense when Rudy and Collison slash into the lane.

Mozgov is absolutely worth the draft picks we gave up for him.

I don't think I've ever seen someone so clueless as to where he should be rotating and helping on defense. Unacceptable for a rim protector.

That's because there are 4 other guys on the floor who aren't guarding their guys. We need 4 more Mozgov's.

No, we got Mozgov so he could clean up other players' mistakes when they get blown by on the perimeter by hanging around the rim, not so we could have him triple team Rudy Gay in the high post. He left his man wide open under the basket a number of times tonight in order to help out on someone who didn't need any help.

You sure you aren't confusing him with TT and Kevin Love?

 

[CavsHomer]

Let's rebuild around Mozgov!

 

[Pioneer10]

He's about the only guy I like on this team right now. He's not a star C but he's definitely a quality C. He blocks shots, takes up space, fights for boards, finishes off the pick and roll, and gives full effort on defense.

Mozgov is definitely a guy who would be an adequate starter on many NBA title team. If he stays healthy, we can't use lack of a C as an excuse this season.

Didn't need help? Did you watch that 1st half where Gay would just catch the ball, notice J.R. Smith was "guarding" him and back him right into the paint for something very, very easy. We didn't have a soul on the roster who was even being a slight annoyance to Gay. Mozgov probably got tired of watching that shit and started doubling him.

Somehow he was regularly the guy to challenge corner 3s, too.

I can't wait till Shumpert and Marion are healthy because then we might have a couple of guys who aren't total messes on defense to help Mozgov. But right now he's starting with Irving, Smith, Miller, and Love. That's a minus defender at all four spots. All four. Mozgov can only do so much.
