Aside from Lauri guarding Jokic..

Excellent ball movement by the Cavs early and smart defense. Let Aaron Gordon shoot all he wants.

Love the energy

 

[Heat Check]

Great start. Jokic doesn't feel like rebounding today it seems.

 

[bleedwineandgold03]

I guess the Watson trade fired the Cavs up

An early Cavalanche! Cavs with a 7-0 run. We've defended inside, but they haven't. Some good defensive rebounding and we're off to the races!

Denver timeout.

Attacking Jokic on the other end is the best possible thing we can do to neutralize him tonight. If Mobley or Lauri have him 1 on 1...take him to the hoop. If he's guarding them out deep, pick & pop all night.

WHY IS LAURI GUARDING JOKIC...

He weighs 30 pounds more than Mobley.

 

[InBoobieWeTrust]

He weighs 30 pounds more than Mobley.

Well early returns on that matchup arent pretty. I'll take Mobleys length/timing all day instead.

 

[Heat Check]

Stevens fell asleep

 

[InBoobieWeTrust]

If we have to send 3 guys at Jokic everytime he gets Mark down low we have the wrong guy on him
