Belieber_420 | Raptors

The strategy is rest Lauri against bad teams to maximize the chance of losing, and play Lauri against good teams since you can’t rest him every game. I figured out Danny Ainge’s tanking strategy

as long as it keeps us around the 4-6 mark in draft lottery odds I think its fine. The flattened odds have really screwed us the last few years, so I think it might be worth not worrying about it so long as we’re above the 8 slot

He looked really good against Wemby recently so it doesn’t seem like he’s too small. But he is very weak relative to the style he plays. It’s like if Giannis was scared of contact and couldn’t dribble

I’ve never seen someone’s stock drop so much for essentially playing the same as he did the year before.

RCM88x | Cavaliers

9 | 2 hours ago

So much of Mobley’s value comes from his future projection as a player. People seemed to think that since he improved last season he was suddenly going to make another leap this year and it just hasn’t happened.

Wow_Good_Stats

0 | an hour ago

He’s worse than he was last year.

63.3% TS vs 58.2% TS is a massive difference.

He’s not been as good posting up and his 3 pointer has regressed, proving that last year was just lucky shooting rather than actual skill.

Wow_Good_Stats

2 | 2 hours ago

He’s been much less efficient than he was last year and your team defense is also much worse. DPOY Mobley is leading an average defense.

DamnReality

Ha that’s a crazy take, he would revolutionize half of the leagues defenses.

When he’s a laker in like 2 or 3 years we’ll all look back and laugh

Hope not Lakers don’t deserve that but he would be really good on the lakers

Wow_Good_Stats

He’s leading the Cavs to an average defense but he would “revolutionize” half the league. Ok. He clearly isn’t an impact defender. Did you watch them get nearly swept in round 2 last year?

DamnReality

1 | an hour ago

Well if the Cavs are an average defense that means they are middle of the pack, so by the transitive property Mobley would revolutionize all the below average teams (half the league) into being an average team

Wow_Good_Stats

Going from #19 to #15 isn’t revolutionary. Get shit on. Not to mention, Mobley plays next to a center rim protector. Not everyone has that. I’m right you’re wrong.

I mean you have Spida for that reason, but I think that Mobley is ideally a third option offensively tbh

TheTonyDose | Knicks

3 | 2 hours ago

Merrill is a solid player but I don’t understand the lineups with him as a ²⁄₃ along with garland and mitchell. Just insanely small, easy to score on and also poor rebounding.

LakeErieMovement | Cavaliers

6 | 2 hours ago

There’s just not a ton of viable solutions for the 3 spot right now.

Hunter is having a horrendous defensive season and a horrendous shooting season.
Dean Wade and Max Strus continue to battle injury
Tomlin is on a 2-Way and cannot hit a 3 to save his life
Porter Jr is our only back up PG and has gotten abused at the 3
Lonzo Ball is unplayable
Tyson is the lone bright spot, but he doesn’t really space the floor yet as his 3P shot, while really good, is only limited to kick outs. He doesn’t do dribble pull ups or cut across court.

Trading at least 2 of Garland/Mitchell/Mobley/Allen/Hunter is an inevitability

TheTonyDose | Knicks

61 | 2 hours ago

The stats in this game don’t show it at all but ace bailey is gonna be a good player. Made a ton of winning plays down the stretch in the 4th with rebounding and defense on garland/mitchell. Doesn’t take bad shots on offense either.

realquiz | UTA

18 | 2 hours ago

Great call and good eye. I’d love to see him lock down the defensive side of his game to ease the pressure of being some kind of offensive phenom.

TheTonyDose | Knicks

11 | 2 hours ago

Him being like a rookie Paul George is already a huge development step tbh. Thought he would be an inefficient chucker like cam reddish but he’s bought into his role and plays like a role player right now.

Injuries to start the season but the guys just don’t care right now. No effort whatsoever and it’s gonna cost Kenny his job if it keeps happening.

CohoDolls | Jazz

17 | 2 hours ago

First game in a while where I felt the Jazz actually played defense. Outside of the second quarter where it felt like the Jazz committed 15 turnovers leading to points the Cavs only scored 72 points.

Great games by Markkanen, Keyonte and Nurk. Completely bullied the Cavs on the glass. Ace had a pedestrian statline, mostly due to low minutes and not getting plays ran for him (wtf Hardy) but in the fourth he closed the game and completely locked up Garland and Mitchell outside of one 30 foot 3-pointer Mitchell made. He could be a real defender.

Cavs do not look good at all. Jarrett Allen looks like a bum, Nurk just dominated him. Hunter was awful and I thought despite a nice statline Garland was really bad as well. Obiviously not an expert on the team but I wouldn’t be surprised if they shop Allen and Garland and just make Mitchell and Mobley the full time PG and Center.

He had 4 points the other night so no. Hes right there though, just too deep in the west to get a guard spot over SGA, Ant, Luka, Curry, Murray, Reaves, Booker, and Harden.

Jazz definitely won the trade, and could get a lot for Lauri if he keeps this up by the deadline. Cavs best chance was last year, but it’s still really disappointing that their mid in a wide open conference, how do the Celtics who are missing their best player somehow be way better than you…
