Seeing the Cavs outscore the Blazers by six points in Rubio's 10 minutes gives me a lot of hope that once Ricky can play 20 minutes the Cavs will be a significantly better team than they are now. It will allow JBB to reduce Garland's and Mitchell's minutes so they will be fresher and even more effective in their minutes on the court. And we're still waiting on Dean Wade.
Props to JBB for going with his closing unit of Allen, Mobley, LeVert, Garland, and Mitchell for the last six minutes. They put LeVert on whoever the opponents' best wing scorer is and let Garland and Mitchell handle the offense with Allen and Mobley defending the paint. It's working pretty well except when LeVert decides to foul 3-point shooters.
By the way, Philadelphia lost at home to OKC (Wow!). Brooklyn, without Durant, lost to Boston and Milwaukee also lost. The Cavs are now one game out of second place.
