Individual Stats.. Read them and weep, Celtics.
You got beat by the Cavs bench. 3 starters out.

Starters:
Okoro 16-4-1 with a steal and 2 blocks in 31 minutes. Excellent play from SF.
Mobley 4-6-4 with 2 steal in 23 minutes. Left with a sprained ankle. Not good.
Allen 21-12-4 with 2 steals in 35 minutes. Solid double-double from our center.
Merrill 6-4-1 with a steal in 30 minutes. 2-6 from 3. Not there tonight.
Garland 16-1-11 with 2 steals in 36 minutes. 3 very bad turnovers.

Bench:
LeVert 10-4-5 with 3 steals in 30 minutes. Solid play.
Wade 23-8-1 with 2 steals, 8-11 fg, 6-9 from 3. in 21 minutes. Imagine if he played 36! Mr. Everything tonight. JYD, MVP, mayor of Cleveland.
Niang 9-1-1 in 27 minutes. Good Niang tonight 3-4 from 3 and timely.
Porter 0-2-2 in 6 minutes. Not his night.

I would vote for him for Mayor, too
 
Mobley has to come off the bench the rest of the season. At minimum that's a change that must be made. He can play 25 minutes a night until he becomes a more impactful offensive player and/or other moves are made so the team around him fits better.

But, today, Jarrett Allen is a better player and Dean Wade just fits in better next to him.

Jason Kelce said last night that players create their own narratives. You just have to keep working and play better.

Dean created one tonight. Talk about someone over performing on their contract.
 
I thought Garland was a mixed bag at the end. One bad TO. But the other TO was Allen's fault. That is a set play guys, Allen has to catch it. Bad/good defensively. It's Garland. Why we traded for Mitchell to keep the pressure off.

Wade and Niang made up for the Knicks. What a upset. Biggest in NBA this year.

The Mobley crisis begins. The kid has to create for himself more to make this work.
