Wow, am I glad I didn’t follow that live.

I would have defecated a cinder-block.

Sorry I was a grumpy asshole to you on page 1 or 2 haha

But yeah, it was nail biting time. Could not believe when Mitchell missed the second FT. Obviously unintentional, but you could see it was short the second it left his hand.

So many things had to go right just for the ball to end up in Okoro hands and even when I saw that pass whip around to him, I'm not going to pretend for one second that I expected it to go in at a moment/situation like that.

Okoro with the game winner.
Really, I can't think about anything else.
A GREAT Mobley night was salvaged!
Shout out to LeVert for making that pass!!!!

Allen was key in that game-winner as well. He knocks the ball out to Levert and then sets a good pick to keep Claxton from rushing okoro's shot.

Raise your hand if you shouted "Oh, shit" when LeVert passed to Okoro. (All hands are up). I still can't believe he hit that shot.

Mitchell choked on his second free throw and it looked like he was in the lane too early but he got away with it again. Give him credit for getting the rebound and then it looked like Allen swatted the ball out to where LeVert could grab it.

Good thing Mitchell missed that free throw because the Nets had 11 seconds left and you know Bridges or Dinwiddie would have made the winning shot.

Great to see the Cavs come from behind in crunch time. When O-Neale hit that long 3-pointer to put them up by 8 with 2:13 to go I figured that was the dagger. But the Cavs forced two turnovers and put themselves in position to win. The Cavs had three steals in the final 1:18.

Garland had one of his worst games ever, going 4-for-16. For some reason he kept driving and forcing up runners over much taller players. The Nets' length really bothered him.

Mobley played like an All-Star with 26 points, 14 rebounds, and 4 blocks. Mitchell got 31 points again, but missed 3 free throws and forced up some bad shots. He took 24 of the Cavs' 89 shots; I'd love to see him shoot less. 24 field goal attempts and 1 assist - really?

Okoro went 3-for-4 on 3's including the game winner - Wow! He was only in for defense but he ended up having to take the game winner as he was the open man.

Rubio continues to struggle. He took one shot in 20 minutes despite the Nets sagging off and inviting him to take a 3. He finally did and missed it. He did have 7 assists, one fewer than Garland in 19 fewer minutes.

The Knicks lost to Orlando, putting them five games back with seven to play. The Cavs have 4th place locked up and almost no chance of moving up to 3rd so these last seven games are all playoff prep.

the way this team is playing I see is beating New York and Atlanta this week. This team is getting to another gear holy shit cant believe we are not breaking down like last year what a fucking great as feeling

I wasn't watching with the sound, and I thought it was Stevens. I was very happy for Stevens for awhile.

Three games in the next eight days. JBB can have a few practices.

Nice to see Mobley take 18 shots, although he never made one that was more than five feet from the rim.

I like Brooklyn's new team. They are long, they battle, and Bridges is a hell of an offensive player. Through three quarters he had 30 points, but the Cavs held him to 2 in the 4th. I like Dinwiddie's game - he had 25 points and 12 assists. I was also impressed with Sharpe and they will be getting Ben Simmons back.
