"NO, NO, NOT MOTHERFUCKER, ITS MOTHAFUCKA!! COME ON MOTHAFUCKA"

I'd also like to point out Mobley is playing w/o a true point guard and with almost no spacing to operate in many of the lineups.

Even when you go like Wade and LeVert, it's not murderers row out there at the 3 point line.


Make him the C with 4 floor spacers and it would probably be a different story offensively.


Defense would fall off the Earth though. But at least his box scores would be pretty and the casual fan would be happy?

I was pulled away so I had to watch the game after about an hour delay. I came in here to say what an awesome game it was. I didn't read the thread, just came to the last page, and even doing that I can see the pitchforks are already out for one Evan Mobley. LOFL!!!

Never change, Cavs fans.

This can’t be a serious fucking post. I refuse to believe it.

I don’t think Mobley is going to be as superhuman as people here expect. His frame is an issue and his skills have a long long way to go. I think it’s very possible Lauri + Ochai + 2 unprotected picks + 2 pick swaps turns out to be better than just Mobley. Guess we’ll see who’s right in a few years.

Mobley seems like he is actually rushing, which wasn't his thing as rook

Rushing? Could he waste anymore time setting up his shot………. he‘s inside his head

There's a cross section of doom and gloomers with people who think we gave up too much in the trade for Donovan who are on Evans ass right now.

Surprised they pulled it off in the OT. They looked out of gas and with DC having the momentum.

You can tell Mitchell has a genuine love for this team

On my way home from the game. It was electric in OT. JA really showed out and Spida came through big time. Wanted to see more Love and less Mobley. He was all over the place but i know he'll get it together. Great team win. Way to pull it out!

Three games in, coming off a rolled ankle, integrating a superstar, DG going down and you can't let this play out longer before saying this?

Great victory tonight when we didn't play our best. I can see why Washington was 2-0: they don't quit. We were better in the clutch.

Here's the highlight video. It's less nervewracking than the real game.

They almost got the Cavs again. But they hung tough in OT on defense and got a few breaks... I was downtown tonight before the game, wish I could have stayed to watch it in The Rock.

You thought nothing like this before the first three games.

You had a pretty low opinion of Lauri.

A zero opinion of Agbaji.


Now three games in, that's all changed?


Ehhhhhhhhhh seems suspect.

 

[Bob_The_Cat]

Eh. Most of y'all put WAY too much faith in Mobley's body developing over one off-season. Way too much.

Me, the rational fan who gets called a negative nancy, knew better.

So here I am cool as a cucumber with Mobley and here you guys are freaking out.

Imagine.

And remember the next time one of you wants to label me as a contrarian or a pessimist.

The rest of the post has nothing to do with the bolded. You could at least tag me lol
