Good win. Ill take it.

 

[Rich]

Garland and Mitchell are scoring in spite of this dogshit offense we have. Each guy should be feasting off ball. We should be getting them open spot up threes. Cuts through the lane. Coming off screens. Misdirection.

They’re scoring HARD points. Which is good only because it shows they CAN and we will need them to to ascend to the heights we are looking to ascend to.

But over 82 games and even during the playoffs you need to score easy Fucking baskets.

Movement and flow has gone out the window as JBBs rotation has tightened up. The only dude who can get a spot up three designed for him off any kind of action is Kevin Love.

Yea. I don't even know why we'd go out and trade for a Duncan Robinson so he could have 1 or 2 shots designed for him a game.

You've got all kinds offensive talent on this team and the coaches are just rolling the ball out there and telling them to go play as if its prime LeBron or Luka leading the group.

This, all of this.

Everything is your turn-my turn.

Get these guys in some actions to find them an open three off-ball.

I know we shouldn’t been in this situation but fortunately we got a win tonight. Maybe this will help a win streak.

But playing against a terrible Charlotte team, Neto and Lopez should have played tonight to extend the bench. The bench has been awful in scoring and we need JB to extend that rotation in these kinds of games especially.

In game situations, last 2 minutes, in bounds plays, needs a lot of work. Situational is so key and we’ve struggled badly. Not switching with less than 2.5 sec. Not guarding the 3 perimeter with 2.5 left when the team needs a 3 - you don’t require a person in the paint - the opposing team has no timeouts. It’s hard for them to win if they just score a bucket. These little things are going to cost us badly in the future if our staff doesn’t recognize these things.

Anyways, Garland had 40+ points. Made some nice dishes to Allen and Mobley. Mitchell had 34.

Welcome back Allen. We really missed your inside presence. He had some nice passes to Mobley for easy dunks. You sure let ‘‘em know Plumlee.

Mobley was phenomenal on the boards. Career high 18 tonight along with 21 points and 5 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks. Saved us with key offensive rebound to get Garland tie with a 3 to force double OT. Also saved us for other key rebounds on both ends that helped us to score in the following possession.

Garland and Mitchell get too careless with the ball so that needs to improve. But these guys played extremely well to overcome this. Both scored enough to win tonight. Just absolutely scoring machines.

Levert is better off coming from the bench and did have 2 playmaking plays to the big men which was good. Still struggles with his midrange though.

Good effort by Lamar tonight. We really need a true wing though.

Win is a win. Hope this helps a streak going.

Everyone overlooks the contributions Wade brings when healthy.

Yet in the end, Rozier missed his last 6 three pointers and was 11-33 overall for the night.

Don’t care! If there’s one thing he does well is shoot threes! You don’t leave him alone when a three is needed!

 

[redscoon]

There has to be a dude in the G league that can give you more than what we are getting from this wing rotation. I mean, holy shit. Levert can’t even shoot over 30% most of the time.

Cavs highlights:

 

[KevinLoveFan]

I watched the whole thing, and kept up with the game thread, but all of it was exhausting.

Everyone other than the big four needs to be called out tonight. Including the coaching staff.

Inexcusable to need two OTs to beat one of the worst teams in the league WITHOUT their star (LaMelo).

Thankfully, Théo Maledon played minutes for the Horriblenets, and that helped the Cavs build a lead early. Now you can see why I called that guy Tony Parker on purple drank when he played with the Thunder.

 

[SVC]

Who knew Wade was this important? And I knew he was good, but damn we miss him.

I’ll take the W. Long season, but this was turning psychological. Nice to see Mobley end well.

 

[Jscc]

Not true.

Miami would probably even throw us a pick with Robinson to take his contract if we send out LeVert’s expiring.

Miami would take that in a heart-beat. Robinson's contract is bad and he has been garbage the last two seasons. They DNP'd him in the playoffs last season.

 

[daddywags]

Mobley's best game as a pro?

 

[Dr No]

Mobley's best game as a pro?

Up there for sure

pretty sure we could get Duncan for Cedi+windler+okoro. Dont love the move for other reasons, but Duncan is very gettable

 

[buzzdog]

DG and Donovan sure looked buddy buddy in that interview; good to see

No way. The forum conspiracy folks say they secretly hate each other and anyone with proper emotional intelligence would see that plain as day.
