Mobley is listed as out on ESPN, any news on him? Is it a rest game maybe?

Edit: Just looked it up, ruled out for Tuesday against the Bulls for rest, guessing we see more Hunter in the starting unit, this time at PF.

Or Wade at PF and Hunter starting at the 3.

Evan doesn’t match up well with Tatum. Tatum may be the only guy who is too quick for Mobley to pressure and tall enough to shoot over him when he gets a little space.

I don't think this is true. I think Mobley and JA's defense on Tatum and Brown is fine. Just a subpar game defensively for both. Tatum and Brown played terribly when Mobley guarded them last post-season.

I don't expect the shots Tatum was making last Friday (over JA and Mobley) to go down in a series. And I hope Boston deludes themselves into thinking otherwise and they try it again.

Seconded!

They literally hit everything against us! Granted our 3pt line coverage in Q1 allowed them the opportunity to do such, Boston then fell comfortably into an unshakeable shooting rhythm.

Then the following game against the Nuggets which was also in Boston they seemingly couldn't hit jack shit. The truth ofc lies somewhere betwixt those two performances with it certainly on the higher end given their myriad of 3 point shooting threats and an offense which is heavily geared towards creating for those looks AND also actively seeking out offensive rebounds on those threes that do not drop. Cavs need to be better at closing out defensive possessions on the boards if they wish to make a deep & successful postseason run here. That's not something you can simply turn on in the playoffs it's an inherent focus towards cleaning the glass that is the responsibility of ALL FIVE players on the floor at every moment.

Defensive 3pt closeouts and coverage will undoubtedly need to be tightened up in these remaining weeks of the regular season.
 
hope you are right.
