Mobley is not yet ready to be a full time center soon. Still soft and lacks strength.

Remember back in November when we could use the “young team” excuse and we had issues like: juvenile inbounding, lots of turnovers, missing FT’s, allowing teams to shoot high 3 pt % and coming out flat in 1st and 3rd quarters?

Sure glad we got that all straightened out in March

That shit should improve over the course of the season and so it's disappointing when it seems to have not or still continues to manifest this late.

What would be unacceptable is for to not get straightened out by both players and coaches in the offseason.

For a team like Charlotte, we should get Danny Green in some minutes.

Which is why our dumb coach should’ve started Lopez at center that way Mobley stays in his role then Wade can sub in when we move Mobley to the 5 for short run

Quick straw poll:

Are Cavs (A) winning this by double digits or losing in a (B) stupid, close, should have been avoidable way?

Couldn't figure out how to do a real poll so just answer this with an A or B

I started this before Mobley and Mitchell both picked up their 3rd fouls but F it, I'm still going to be an idiot and say A

NOPE

The site crash did not save me from this post going through LOL

Between the time I started it and the time I posted it, the Cavs went from tied to down 8 and Mobley/Mitchell both picked up their 3rd fouls.

Oh well, I still have to ride with my A, which will likely be an L

In an earlier post I predicted we'd win by at least 10.

Two big surprises off the stats: 1) we're outrebounding them and 2) They have 4 more turnovers than we do.

It's amazing we're down.

Oh, fastbreak points? 16-0 them.

Lamar!

Nails a corner three then refs call a phantom foul on what looked to me like a clean block

Unrelated, but today is the eighth anniversary of Kyrie’s 57 point game.

Keeping in mind that the team’s roster remained largely the same the following year when the Cavs won it all, I really do think that 2016 championship team was the best team LeBron’s ever played on.

Two good looks for Washington- missed both. Stevens makes the 3. Basketball gods smiling on us

I've re-watched that full game and the every Kyrie shot cut ups dozens of times ranks up with many LeBron games, Finals Games 5-7, and Mitchell's 71 pt game as the best Cavs performance/re-watch value of all time.

 

[letgocavs]

Forgot Mitchell was playing

 

[Melancholy Jaques]

No defense tonight to speak of

 

[MattyIce8]

Okoro doing absolutely nothing today when we probably needed him to step up with Allen out

Especially when you consider that buzzer beater that sent the game to OT… *chef’s kiss*

I’d put that performance up there with some other all timers for sure.

Cavs being thoroughly outplayed in all aspects of the game by a lottery team
