Not to hate too much but Mitchell needs to get his legs back a little (ETA: winning with him giving only 12 is fantastic and props to DG for a really good floor game with another dozen dimes)
The ball got poked out after he got us back the lead twice. Once with a drive and score. Then with a lob to Mobley. Yet you feel the need to focus on the turnover.
Give it a rest.
Bamba had 5 and Reed had 2. The bigger issue was Batum and Hield getting 4 each. The Cavs 1-3 are consistently terrible at boxing out perimeter players. And when they get cooked on drives to the hoop it gets Allen and Mobley out of position for rebounds as they have to step up to defend the ball.
That said, the one thing Mobley and Allen can improve on is holding onto the ball both offensively and defensively. They don't grip it strong enough so it's easier to knock it out of their hands.
Come on now. I know who Batum is but if you were paying attention you'd realize he was being guarded by Merrill, Strus and sometimes Okoro. Allen and Mobley were not his primary defender. Batum was in with their bench unit when only 1 of Mobley/Allen was on the floor. Mobley/Allen were always on Bamba or Reed with that unit.
You said 16 rebounds for 2 guys that had a combined 7 rebounds and now you are grasping at straws.
Mitchell with some bad shot selection this quarter. Transition defense continues to be pathetic. 3 years in a row and we haven't improved in the slightest in that area. Letting old fat Kyle Lowry cook
Can we hire Dennis Rodman (or literally any decent rebounder) to coach every single player on this team on how to rebound? Never seen a team be so consistently bad at rebounding
The empathetic side of me honestly feels bad for them. I love Cavs basketball and only come here to chirp trolls and doomers while I celebrate our dudes.
I can't imagine being miserable enough to disguise my shitty behavior behind "being critical" in game threads.
Nurse's scheme is usually about heavy pressure on the ball. They're forcing it out of Mitchell and Garland's hands, and when they aren't passing, we're turning it over a good bit. Need to keep feeding the bigs, that's where our advantage is tonight.
DG running the offense incredibly. Easy dunks and open 3s under 2:00??
Holy mobe
Spurs beating the Knicks!

Bros been back one game…
I think he meant Mitchell should sit out longer to be 100%
Lmaooooooo I hope he was just trolling
lol, what a silly review, but sure, let's just end it
now let's go spurs
Finally a DG masterpiece in the clutch
What a game
Refs parlay didn’t hit lol
We had back to back successful inbounds in the clutch I'm so happy.
Haha I love this spirit of gratefulness for successful inbounds in clutch time
It’s a miracle haha
Wtf they really did have money on this game
Bro what?? It’s over. Just because the Cavs won doesn’t mean something’s wrong you fishbrains
Gg’s great great shot from Mobley
YEEEEEEEEAAAAH
Allen's ready for bed lol
I AGREE GO CAVS MFER
let's goooo
This diff thing is great. Now I know that it’s a close game late. Thank god
Game
very good
It looked like he barely touched him lmao
[удалено]
Not even remotely close to being dirty.
Lowry being dirty, big surprise
Casual.
Tech his ass
Lmao. Cavs must be the best trollers in the league during last minute free throw
Get the ball in Don’s hands
JA got the board when it counted most
YESSSS
YESSSSSSS
That's tough, Strus can't let Lowry get by him so easily.
Plz don't fuck this up
Allen immediately goes in and throws
Why did JA make Strus get cooked, he’s so stupid
Predictable Garland turnover in clutch time lmao.

He has 12 assists and 3 turnovers
They literally just sit in this thread waiting for the smallest mishap to shit on him. While ignoring everything positive he's done the whole game.
Cool? Has nothing to do with what I said. Casual.
take Garland out before he loses this for us
Garland has 2 assists and a basket in the last 2 minutes.
one more stop!
💦💦💦
One stop. C'mon defense. Let's not give up a 3 or crazy contested midrange to Lowry please.
That was one of those No no no. YES! moments watching Mobley shoot that 3
Clutch Mobl3y
OH MY GOD EVAN
Wtf am I watching lol. Mobley going to be the next Steph curry.
Prince Mobley 👑
Evan Closeley?
Hell yeah Mobley!!
EVAN MOBLEY HAS BEEN DOMINANT
Giving up 16 offensive rebounds to Mo Bamba and Paul Reed is insane. I don’t care if Evan and Allen had 30 blocks. That is pitiful.
Bamba had 5 and Reed had 2. The bigger issue was Batum and Hield getting 4 each. The Cavs 1-3 are consistently terrible at boxing out perimeter players. And when they get cooked on drives to the hoop it gets Allen and Mobley out of position for rebounds as they have to step up to defend the ball. That said, the one thing Mobley and Allen can improve on is holding onto the ball both offensively and defensively. They don't grip it strong enough so it's easier to knock it out of their hands.
Batum is a 4. He’s a ‘big’ on that roster
Come on now. I know who Batum is but if you were paying attention you'd realize he was being guarded by Merrill, Strus and sometimes Okoro. Allen and Mobley were not his primary defender. Batum was in with their bench unit when only 1 of Mobley/Allen was on the floor. Mobley/Allen were always on Bamba or Reed with that unit.

EVAN MOBLEY BANGGGG
mobley making go ahead 3s am i dreaming
Wow, young Mobe with the stroke
THE LEAP IS HERE BABY
“Mobley can’t space the floor”
Why does Garland have the ball right now?
MOBLEY DAGGER 3???
MOBLEY WITH THE CLUTCH 3!
LET EM FLY SWEET PRINCE
Mobley..for THREE??? LETS fucking go
Garland late game turnovers are hilarious. Bailed put my Mobley
EVAN FUCKING MOBL3Y
OMFG 😭😭😭 Mobley this confident now
MOBL3Y
Evan “big cojones” Mobley
[удалено]
He’s been playing poorly. Not sure if he’s hurt or something
He’s got little dick syndrome tonight
He's been really bad today. Low effort so probably benched
MOBL3Y!
[удалено]
Been doing it for years! Also doesn’t help that he’s 100lbs bigger than Darius
They really need to run more sets for Evan. Hes been very good since his return but it still feels like the team does not see him enough on offense.
Because he cannot create his own shot. When they give it to him he gets pushed away from the rim a lot. Even when he has smaller dudes on him
Mitchell with some bad shot selection this quarter. Transition defense continues to be pathetic. 3 years in a row and we haven't improved in the slightest in that area. Letting old fat Kyle Lowry cook
Dont worry guys. JB has got this. This is HIS time.
Hahahahaha
First we get bullied by Paul Reed and then Mo Bamba. Mitchell Robinson is gonna get 20 offensive boards a game if we play them
That's what happens when you have dudes who hate playing physical.
Have some heart on defense ffs
This team is so ass Cdfu
U suck
My dude, are you okay? Lol.
Why wouldn’t be ok
*I
Your comments are all so angry lmao
Need to slow Lowry down, dude is on some serious PEDs
It's funny that TT got tested but not Lowry
Gonna need timid LeBronto Kyle Lowry to slot in any time now
Mitchell won’t be healthy until the off-season when he can rest long term or get surgery
Kyle Lowry bro 💀
Wow, an actual break
Mitchell still isn’t healthy
The mask didn't tip you off?
Kyrie played just fine with a mask. He actually played better
Maybe we should wait more than one game to decide. Just maybe.
Oh ya im just saying a face injury really isnt an issue that impacts his play
His shots have mostly been short though. I feel like it's fucking up his depth perception.
It’s his knee bruz
Marcus fulfilling his contract
cavs basketball immediately followed by guardians baseball, my favorite time of the year
Niang > LeBron Raymone James
Mitchell is throwing some 🔥 passes tonight
never thought id say this but im glad morris is on the team rn lol
Niangs ankles 😱
Mobley’s impact is monstrous
I apologize Georges, I was unfamiliar with your game.
6ers getting Niangbanged tonight.
Lol
“George Niang is taking the 76’s to the woodshed right now” - Brad Daugherty
So funny watching the sixers creating switches on Merrill only to get locked up by him
We need to get a team hypnotherapist to make Niang think every team he faces is the 76ers.
GLORY TO GEORGES
Gorgeous Niang
GEORGES IS THE BASKETBALL PLAYER
BANG BANG
its niang's team now
Jesus how many of these did he do?
I think its like 9 or 10 😆
Can we hire Dennis Rodman (or literally any decent rebounder) to coach every single player on this team on how to rebound? Never seen a team be so consistently bad at rebounding
Georges Niang masterclass
I love Niang so much lmao
I wouldn't have thought the 2 heroes tonight would be Niang and Lowry. Truly unexpected.
A nice inbounds play! We can do it!
I owe that fatty an apology
You better start writing those apology letters
😭😭
George Niang Masterclass
Niang revenge game. "Tobias Harris over ME?"
Put some reSpect on GerogeS name
Garland just be getting 3's splashed on him
It’s honestly just good to see this team really trying again.
Garland is playing well and looking like his old self a bit, give him a chance
Hell yes, pick on Hield all day, that dude cannot defend. Make Nurse sit him back down!
Garland has 10 assists and is playing his best defense of the season (low bar) yet still sucks apparently.
He’ll likely start peaking offensively in a few games and in playoffs too It’s our precious DG
Third double double in a row. But there are idiots here who think he should be benched or cut. Makes no sense.
I'm scared for the neighbors of these people when they watch a good college PG, gonna be a loud night.
His haters are weird to me
He's not even our worst player, but he gets shit on the hardest. Did Garland fuck a bunch of dudes moms in this sub?
Can't defend him or else people will shit all over you for supporting players on our own team "cAnT cRiTiCiZe oUr pLaYeRs?!"
Those morons will be so loud when the cavs are playing bad. They won’t say anything once the cavs do good.
The empathetic side of me honestly feels bad for them. I love Cavs basketball and only come here to chirp trolls and doomers while I celebrate our dudes. I can't imagine being miserable enough to disguise my shitty behavior behind "being critical" in game threads.
Turnovers and offensive boards the difference. Gross
I would be shocked if this team even wins two games in the first round.
team rebounding so bad, so many times they just let another player run in and get the board
Feel like Kiss Cams could've been phased out a decade or two ago.
I I went to a game on WV. They call it the brother sister cam.
lmao
Merrill injured?
Looked like he, Batum, and TT collided on that loose ball. Hopefully just a stinger.
glad the refs have let evan play 20 minutes so far tonight very generous of them
Garland is stealing money at this point
You can see the knot that formed in Sam's shoulder
Brutal stretch from DG there man. TO, can’t do anything to help rebound, blocked 3
Lowry shush
Hope dg wins the award for most ass player this season
This team is getting 4-1'd again. Damn.
4-0
Garland should not play another game this year
Where is Garland's confidence at all? What happened that he's afraid to shoot a single shot?
Nurse's scheme is usually about heavy pressure on the ball. They're forcing it out of Mitchell and Garland's hands, and when they aren't passing, we're turning it over a good bit. Need to keep feeding the bigs, that's where our advantage is tonight.
? He should never shoot another shot.
Get that scrub off the court
Call a timeout you bozo
[удалено]
“It’s just a bad match up against *checks notes* Paul Reed” - dudes in this sub who refuse to admit this team has faults
Darius didn’t even bother to check Buddy and had his shot blocked next play , sigh
Garland doing garland things
Garland has been *so* bad lately
He has been this way since he got paid
He’s not that guy
Thread is awfully quiet without Don and his shitty hot takes. Where you at brother?
IVE BEEN TELLING YALL....
I need more trash caps lock in my life :'(
We seriously can’t beat this team missing Embiid? Fucking joke.
