Mobley has gotten a lot better than he was in summer league.

 

[MirORich]

Well, one thing is apparent, Danny Green needs to get some minutes going forward

If you believe Fedor and the team, the plan was for him to get in shape in practice and then get some play in the final 6-8 games.

Unfortunately, he got Covid and that kkkcked him out of some opportunities.

 

[Pierre Pan]

Our 3rd string outscored our 2nd string , 40-27

 

[cabs]

Orlando resting everyone too? Clearly don’t want to finish above Pacers and Washington. Imagine paying to go see your g league team when your team was already meh enough

 

[jjvors]

Wow. Cavs up 10 at the half.

Very entertaining. Our defense has straightened out. Only 15 allowed in the 2nd quarter.

Our offense also has a nice flow to it. Drive and dish. 34 points in the 2nd.

I hate to get my hopes up, but I think we have at least a 50% chance of winning now.

Their turnovers (12) are killing them.

There's no real difference between our bench and our starters.
Actually, our bench has scored 40 and our starters 27.

Green leads in scoring with 15-2-1
Cedi leads in rebounds with 10-4-2
Neto with 2-1-4 leads in assists

Off the bench, Diakite with 9-1-1 and I. Mobley with 11-1-1 and 2 steals lead the way.

Is this the Cavs bench??? Maybe they needed to play a few games by themselves...

They’re playing a bad teams deep bench and G League team as well. Let’s keep some perspective.

But it’s good to see that there is some development happening behind the scenes. Although, I doubt many will feel comfortable agreeing with that, as it would you know, give some credit or the org and coaches.

Mainly though, there is very very little to take out of this game. It’s barely a notch above a summer league/G league game

 

[Green Lantern]

Also, both Brobley and Diakite look ready to contribute more than the present version of Dean Wade

Wade hasn't appeared to have confidence in his game.

 

[Jscc]

I want more IMobley. Where's he at?

 

[MirORich]

10-0 start to the 3rd quarter

 

[MirORich]

I want more IMobley. Where's he at?

On the bench probably checking in around the 6 minute mark of this quarter

My perspective is that a few of them should have had more playing time..like using Lopez more against bigger centers.

 

[The Oi]

Cavs are going to win it all.

 

[jjvors]

Cavs up 20. We score the first 10 points of the 3rd. It's the Cedi and Rolo show.

We're playing pretty much our normal defense. Their 2nd string can't handle it.

Stevens isn't great offensively, but he can defend and rebound. Cedi is a ball hawk.

This is solid basketball right now. I have no complaints.

 

[Futuredome]

So why the short bench????
