The Good:
Garland -- looks even quicker.. can get to any spot he wants. Doesn't really need Mitchell.. can do whatever he fucking wants. A fucking blur.
Dean Wade -- looks like an improved shooter. He is really needed on defense.
Kevin Love -- looked sharp from 3. Should really help the spacing this season.
Shariffe Cooper -- 3pt shot away from being a great backup PG for the Cavs.
Raul Neto -- looked great all around. Excellent game and a good backup till Rubio is back.
The Bad:
Jarrett Allen -- not up to game shape.. looked tired and clumsy. Horrible misses. Decent defense though. Obviously not cocnerned at all.
Caris LeVert -- Don't see his role on the team. We will have enough creators on the bench and I have no idea what the heck was the idea behind starting him. Hope i'm wrong and he can provide something different that we need.
JBB -- Continues to be the achilles heel of this team. Starting Love and LeVert is just idiotic. Unguardable offensively, but can't guard a friggin chair either and LeVerts skillset is seriously not needed. Just give the ball to Garland bro. Would have liked to see some interesting sets.
Robin Lopez -- looked bad on both ends. Too slow defensively. Offensively he should be a good screener and that's it. We will see.
Cedi Osman -- more on the indifferent side. Looked erratic but is still needed. Will be okay.
The yeah man he improved...fuck wait a minute:
Isaac Okoro -- Looked decisive and quicker with the ball. Also shot looked better when he first came in. Thought he looked improved. A few minute passed and I realized he is still the same scared Okoro on this team.
The intriguing:
Dunno his first name Diakite -- looked pretty good to me. There is something there.
The Why he is still on the team Koby??? RJ Numbnuts. WTF Koby. Get your shit together.
Didn't know where to put Mitchell. Obviously he is in the good, but he is a known commodity. What I did like was the fact that he had no issues playing passive and letting others do their thing. Will obviously make us impossible to defend even with our degenerate coach. Looks like a good fit. Garland/Mitchell combo will be unguardable this season. Mitchell looked slower than the quick, shifty Garland but perhaps Garland is just that guy. Defensively it's going to be interesting, but Mobley will make everything so much easier. Lucky to have him. With all that being said, I hope they instill some good sets to make use of both Garland's and Mitchell's skillset in the same possession and not play my turn/your turn basketball...because they can both score at will, so yeah.
The bad defense was not interesting to see.. I just don't like trading buckets and getting into shootouts. Gives me flashback to our tamking days. Mobley will hopefully make us completely destroy teams. But JBB has to understand the idea of a balanced lineup. I know it's preseason, but I would never start Garland, Mitchell, LeVert, Love no matter what and I hope he doesn't plan to start LeVert.
