"They kicked our ass," Jazz coach Will Hardy said. "They shot the ball unbelievably well from all three levels of the court. They play with great tempo, they bothered us with their physicality in the first half, which is what got us behind the eight ball."

Cavs still in 3rd. It's red hot behind us!

Though he and Mobley have similar conventional stats (Barnes: 15/7/5, Mobley: 15/9/3), Mobley is 76th in PER (17.93), whereas Barnes is 146th (15.17).

Barnes is a pretender.

Wow the net rating is pretty wild considering how close their stats are.

Barnes -8
Mobley +14

Barnes takes 2+ more shots per game but is scoring less

Garland has finally stopped “thinking” on the court and just reacting! He’s getting into the key and pulling up for that short J instead of continuing to dribble in and out of the lane.
BTW I noticed something about Mobley last night which might be why his hands fumbles so many passes inside.
He goes into the key with his hands low! The first thing you are taught as a big man or anybody is when you go into the key area have your hands up and have them ready to accept a pass at anytime! He tends to go in there with his hands down so when the pass comes he has to bring them up quick to receive it and then sometimes has a hard time handling it

This is very interesting and… intriguing. During our 5 game losing streak, JB talked about how our fast break game was hurting us and our strength at that time was to slow the pace and run our sets.

This could be a sign of growth or just an anomaly. Either way, impressive.

We have sets?
