I know they’ll likely fire their coach if they flame out in the first round but the roster construction is an issue.

Donovan “I Am The Offense” Mitchell.

17 in the 4th quarter, including that filthy double swim move, dragged the Cavs to a win.

Cavs would be like 10-37 without Mitchell. He should have been an All Star starter. The work this dude has done to keep the Cavs relevant this season is some miracle work.

Didn’t need to do that if Mr $270 million can contribute just a little bit more than 13 fucking points.

Where’s the 29 13 and 7 from last game? Can’t do it for even 2 (TWO!) games in a row?

How dare the guy who played the hardest on the first night of a back to back not have the legs for the second. Is he stupid?

yelsamarani | Cavaliers

that would be Donovan Mitchell, who promptly repeated his great performance he just did 24 hours ago, as superstars who send us straight into the second apron should.

Cavs are playing like people thought they would at the start of the season. And they still don’t have Strus or Garland.

Next 5 games Cleveland, Miami, Toronto, San Antonio, OKC. This could get ugly really fast for my squad.

Jaylon Tyson has been the best thing that’s happened this season for the Cavs, finally have that 2 way wing they’ve desperately needed. Sadly the rest of team other than D-Mitch has regressed.

I don’t think it’s a regress, just a fuck ton of injuries

Yup. 270 million for 13 and 7 from our esteemed “future”.

Got amnesia from his great game, which was (checks notes) oh yeah just yesterday. Less than 24 fucking hours ago.

looked like Paolo was the only player who even wanted to win today. he’s been much better lately.

but we should just fire Mosley now and maybe we could salvage something of this season. he’s completely lost the team.

fastheadcrab | Raptors

5 | 5 hours ago

It’s more on team composition. Replacing Mosley with another coach won’t fix the serious issues with the lack of offensive talent

Aeronova20 | Magic

2 | 5 hours ago

I don’t even think the roster construction is untenable. Just need to dump Tyus and JI and we’re basically golden.

Our main issue is that our offense is archaic and predictable. We do basically nothing to give our best players easy shots.

fastheadcrab | Raptors

3 | 4 hours ago

I think that is part of it but there are a lot of non-shooters on your team. Franz Wagner seems to have regressed to his expected shooting skill, Paolo isn’t a great deep shooter, Desmond Bane hasn’t been the lights out shooter that you needed, and someone like Suggs is pretty streaky. Then Wendell Carter isn’t a great shooter which obviously you don’t need on most teams but since your team is weaker, floor spacing there is more important

Without extremely dangerous threats, teams will still sell out on defense to slow down interior attacking. The Cavs had a very dangerous offensive system but it was predicated on high levels of offensive talent across the floor and good shooting by role players

Bench looked great, Tyson did the hard work in first half and Mitchell did his usual in the 2nd half. Paolo is hard to watch, stats show one thing, but felt his first half choice making sucked which made that game not competitive. See why the Magic shoot the most FTs in the league though just drive and cry.

Wendell Carter is only 26 years old but his career trajectory is that of a 35 year old.

Evan Mobley just can’t keep it up. It’s always the usual with this guy. One great game, one dud, one good game, one dud, ad nauseam.

Sigh…….back to the usual third option diet for our 270 million dollar passive man, when he could be so much more….

Donovan is once again needing to bail our asses out because this guy can’t be arsed to be fucking better than Jaylon “The Man” Tyson

It’s really bizarre to watch. Mobley has so much talent yet he just seems to fuckin wilt every other game like clockwork.
