Clearly, they were showcasing him tonight!

Loved the confidence and aggressive tonight. Didn't try to do too much and capitalized on seemingly all opportunities.

Special night tonight. Sometimes you have to tell the bear cub that he can kill the bunny with his big fucking claws.

 

[Cement]

This was an All Star move right here-

Unlike Kevin Garnett, Evan Mobley will never score 38+...

...

For his first time in Year Five of his career.

 

[Cavatt]

No free throws. So messed up.

Calling no fouls benefits the Cavs tho

Hopefully a confidence booster. Against NBA backups though. Not gonna get overly excited.

He dominated against DPOY candidate Brook Lopez

DID YOU WATCH THE GAME? BROOK LOPEZ WAS THE ONE DEFENDING HIM ON MOST POSSESSIONS. L TAKE

 

[Futuredome]

Lopez wasn't his primary defender. Giannis's backup was.

I wanted us to draft Scottie Barnes. We'd be dominant with him on this squad right now.

So why are the Raptors 20-27? They were a 47 win team last year. And he isn't their best player by any stretch so it's not like he's out there trying to carry scrubs. So if he's THAT good, that he'd turn us into a dominant squad, why can't he keep the Raptors from sucking??


I like Barnes. I think he's gonna be an all-star caliber player. But explain this to me.

Tonight is the first night a lot of people outside of Cleveland will think “Oh shit, this guy could be the best player in the league one day”.

Bill Simmons is sure to talk about this. I'll post when it happens.

This is the reason Mobley has the most potential of anyone on the team. It's inherent to the game of basketball. He is big and athletic with a soft touch.

We've seen Cavs score 38+ a bunch of times this year. This is the first time someone made it look easy though.
