Love has reached that stage where he can come up big.. he sees the chemistry going on..

His team is way better than Bron’s. He who laughs last, laughs best.

Some Mobley highlights for your viewing pleasure:

I still believe that if Love was not reduced to 3rd banana here and was able to play his game; he would have been on the 75th anniversary team.

 

[Jscc]

That’s bull-shit. Got to pick a JYD.

Frobley and Love came up huge tonight. Cedi was big. Pick one. Or two.

If there are multiple choices, I would do a drawing.

Literally created the modern stretch four big man. I think he's the only big in NBA history with his rebound total and 3s made.

What beautiful basketball.

3... Rubio

Was thinking if they had Rubio and Caris they could win against a good team.

A WINE & GOLD WINNER

 

[The Human Q-Tip]

No point guards but 30 assists. Love got to show off his passing skills. And 13 blocks - is that a franchise record?

There was a game during the Daugherty/Nance/Price/Hot Rod era where they had either 17 or 18. I'll see if I can dig up when....

ETA - Cavs had two games during that era when they blocked 17 shots...plus a game against the Knicks where they blocked 21. Nance alone blocked 11.

The Cleveland Cavaliers denied their most shots in a game against the Knicks on January 7, 1989, with 21 blocks.

I’m convinced none of the people who hate JBB can fully be happy and enjoy this, because every win is more security for his job.

Why some of them go quiet and AWOL after wins.

Nah. I'm very happy when he is doing well. It would be asinine otherwise at this point in the timeline. I just can't participate in gamethreads anymore.
