Agreed. We don’t need him against Orlando and can win that one with a patchwork lineup. Why are they rushing to get him back in the lineup? The only thing that makes sense is they legit want make the playoffs this year, at all costs. With Mobley, the Cavs are a playoff team & potentially a 4 or 5 seed.

How does anyone other than his doctors know the difference between him being "rushed", and him just being ready to go?

How many times in the last two years did someone come back earlier from an injury, for the Cavaliers, than they were projected to? I don’t think it ever happened.

I’m not saying Mobley is being rushed back, but this, very clearly, demonstrates a paradigm shift away from the ‘soft tank’ and toward a concentrated focus on winning & making the playoffs. That focus really wasn’t there the past 3 years or so.
 
Gotta love internet doctors….
Listen. My eye was a little blurry and kept twitching after I pooped once. WebMD said I had Creutzfeldt Jakob Disease. I'm not arguing with webMD. Who cares if it's a disease that only happens to one in a million every year? Internet is never wrong.

Toronto fans thinking Scottie is running away with the RoY award.

Oh boy the stupidity of not knowing Evan Mobley exists
A day after multiple articles come out saying Evan Mobley is a clear No 1 rookie of the season. Idiots.

It's an Athletic article. Pretty sure I saw it linked somewhere on the forum.

Think this is okay.

The Athletic said:
1. Evan Mobley, Cleveland Cavaliers

Here’s the thing: So far, the top six names on this list have all been very, very good. The rookie class was strong this year. And at the end of the day, it doesn’t even come close to who should be at the top. Evan Mobley is by far the best choice right now if you value defense in any way.

He is the best rookie defender the NBA has seen in recent years. Everything he does with it is absolutely sublime. Covering a vast amount of ground, his presence has completely transformed the Cavaliers defensively. The team currently ranks 10th in the NBA in defensive rating, not just because of him, but he plays the biggest role. His mobility on the perimeter is the only reason the Cavaliers can play huge setups with three big ones working. Mobley contests the second most shots per game in the NBA behind Spurs center Jakob Poeltl, with opponents shooting just 43.8 percent. He fights eight shots around the basket per game, and opponents shoot 8 percent worse than expected on those shots. He fights seven shots per game outside of 15 feet, which is a big number for a 7-footer that teams don’t really try to attack on a regular basis.


It's not a perfect quote, but you get the idea.

Every time the opposing team goes ISO at Mobley when he switches onto a guard, I immediately say “thank you” out loud. Seriously if any coach/scout watched the Cavs for just a few games they would know to tell their team to not do this.
 
I hope he is back tommorow love watching the unicorn. Even his last game against the Celtics when he was 0-11 he was affecting the game in other ways.
 
i spatained my elbow during my drunken pool league and wasnt able to return for 4 weeks, so obviously they are rushing Mobley back.
He has been shooting for a week. It is an arm injury not a leg injury. Doesnt seem like they are rushing him back. They rushed Jordan back once. It worked.

So you couldn't raise 12 ounces with it for 4 weeks?
