Mostly ticky tack stuff, the refs just kept calling us for fouls when the offensive player initiated all the contact on drives. Mobley and LeVert got at least a couple like that too.Okoro wasn't out there guarding some elite level scorer or playmaker. He can't be getting 4 fouls in 20 minutes.
Hubbard was 6 8, about 220 or so. He rebounded like Rodman and had a nice jumpshot. He was averaging about 20 ppg when he got a bad injury and retired.He PLAYED big!

Has anybody noticed how in the past few games Okoro is not moving his feet and is getting blown more often than not??? What’s up with that? Did he all of sudden forget how to play defense. He’s committing stupid fouls because he’s not moving his feet!Okoro wasn't out there guarding some elite level scorer or playmaker. He can't be getting 4 fouls in 20 minutes.
Then , that’s a statistic which has a poor correlation coefficient for rebounding performance. Looking at our 7 games in March, we‘ve been outrebounded in 6 of them, by margins of 49-34, 46-33, 40-30, 43-40, 46-34 and 37-32 (Nets, Sixers, Hornets [twice] and Heat [twice]. The only game that we had more rebounds than our opponent was against the Wizards.We’re 8th out of 30 teams in defensive RB %. Hardly awful.
My sentiment exactly.The comparison of this Cavs group to the Lillard-McCollum Blazers team is a lazy analysis that focuses on one attribute: the heights of the starting backcourt. Mitchell has 4+ inches in standing reach on both of these dudes, 15+ pounds of muscle, and more athleticism than either of them. I was worried he might be too small until I actually saw him play on a nightly basis. And yeah, of course, there's that whole two freakishly athletic, skilled 7 footers thing.
The Cavs can absolutely win a title or two with this group, if these guys can maintain their health and they follow a typical development curve.
Got to disagree with this when Mobley continues to develop. The guards and Mobley make a pretty good big three especially when garland and Mobley are still growing their game. Then you throw another damn good big in there like JAMitchell helping us get past the rudderless Nets in a regular season game is not going to make me change my stance on the trade.
It was an impulsive, shortsighted move from an ownership and front office tandem foaming at the mouth for us to be Portland East, a perennial playoff contestant powered by undersized guards with no hopes of ever actually contending for a championship.
