He hasn’t been a good rebounder in a while. But his size really helps the defense. We will be able to find matchups where he and Mitchell don’t collectively kill the defense. That was not true with garland.

Cryfatso | Cavaliers

35 | 8 hours ago

Trying to make Evan Mobley on offense happen. I know we want him to develop to this scoring threat and it’s not going to happen. He needs to live off rolling to the basket and easy stuff created for him.

He isn’t a creator and every time we try and make him one we are worse for it.

livefreeordont | 76ers

19 | 7 hours ago

I noticed several times Harden wanted to get the ball to Mobley but he kept losing position

Cryfatso | Cavaliers

27 | 7 hours ago

Harden had two turnovers trying to force it to Mobley. He can’t win on the block, there is no matchup favorable to him.

We can probably afford to experiment in the regular season, but in the post season, I want none of that.

i_be_scrollin

7 | 7 hours ago

Yup, this is a huge problem with Mobley. He can’t get and maintain deep position. He also can’t dive to the basket on the roll and get through his man for the pass down - the pass Harden loves to throw. All Mobley can really do is get half a shoulder past big guys if he has the isolated at the 3pt line…just a half shoulder, so not quite effective enough to be high percentage

BallIsLife2016 | Cavaliers

9 | 7 hours ago

I don’t mind giving him reps in the regular season. I think it’s unlikely he ever gets there, but it’s worth finding out and that won’t happen without reps. But it can lead to Allen becoming the forgotten man and Allen is way too good for that. The team seems to forget that Allen is a truly exceptional post player. Honestly, Mobley could learn a lot studying Allen’s footwork. Mobley often doesn’t know what to do when his back is to a guy down low whereas Allen has a whole bag of spins and shakes that he uses to generate way better shots down low than Mobley.

StaleMemesNoDreams | Vancouver Grizzlies

5 | 7 hours ago

Backcourt’s performance is definitely something to look out for during the postseason, even if they make a deep run. I was higher on Mobley at the start of the season, but he has been underperforming his max contract so far. I could definitely see the FO put an end to the 2 small guards and 2 bigs era of this roster for good, and trade Mobley for less talented but better fit players

cfbones

13 | 8 hours ago

Soft bigs at times. The same fans that exploded at the Garland trade will attack me but it’s true- one reason we always struggle with OKC. We like our players (flaws and all) and it can really jade folks honest opinions.

Outside of that, I agree, go Cavs.

cavsking21 | Cavaliers

12 | 8 hours ago

if you actually watched all 13 of the offensive rebounds by OKC on Sunday, you see that a majority of them are caused by the guards getting beat on rebounds rather than the bigs but feel free to repeat talking points

dwilkes827 | Cavaliers

We don’t really have a great third big behind Allen and Mobley. Atkinson has done a nice job staggering the two tho and finding times to go small with Wade at the 5.

GeneralJMan | Cavaliers

6 | 8 hours ago

Bryant is playable as a 3rd big, especially if you put a good defender like Wade or Tomlin or Mobley out with him. His floor spacing helps cover his horrific defense. He was the Pacer’s backup center for their run last season. Wing depth is a much worse weakness.

DenseSign5938

Mobley isn’t a stretch big but tries to play like one. We were banking on him developing into one but it just hasn’t happened. So it fucks our spacing and also it wastes processions when the team tries to feed him to initiate offense.

Sometimes it feels like he drops back or sags on his a opponent a little on purpose to bait into relaxing a little bit, knowing he can recover easily. I’ve seen him get a ton of steals off lazy passes that he baited from dropping back a little.

Him and SGA together will likely elevate our offense 10+ net points they are that good combined.

He’s not as good this year after playing through the injury

Longjumping_One_9164 | Thunder

No he hasn’t been versus Regular Season last year, but he has had a surgically repaired wrist and then hamstring tweaks.

Its not surprising when those things have happened.

But make no mistake he this year is our second best player. You could make an argument Chet or possibly iHart is more important because we cant replace either of their production, but jDub is that impactful to our ceiling.

Watch this stretch when he does make it back. If he can string 15 games together he is going to put people on notice.

Puppetmaster858 | Suns

1 | 5 hours ago

I mean that was a great game from him but he definitely hasn’t been their 2nd best player this year. In general is he their second best player probably but he can’t stop getting hurt and can’t get into a groove so he’s been significantly worse than last year. That suns game was like easily his best game of the season it’s not like he was doing shit like that at all any other games

sorendiz | HOU

Yeah, if you watched the game you would have seen a period where he got hacked on about five possessions in a row with zero calls, only for the Knicks to immediately get two terrible, soft as fuck calls in their favor that had to be challenged by the Cavs (and they won both but the Knicks still got 2 points from one of the successful challenges lmao). If the game were being reffed remotely evenly he absolutely has at least 6 or so FTs over that stretch.

UnkleAdams247 | Trail Blazers

I dont even care about all of them. Refs miss calls. Part of the game. But the fast break where he got intentionally fouled and it was ruled out of bounds off the Knicks was utterly beyond ridiculous

Latchedlungs | Hornets

65 | 8 hours ago

Cavs have got a pretty terrifying roster. The energy has completely shifted now that the team has an elite organizer and facilitator. The bench is elite and brings a lot of disruption, Allen has been absolutely transformed and Mitchell seems under far less pressure.

Given that they still have six weeks to gel before the playoffs I would be very hopeful for the rest of the season if I was a Cavs fan.

In comparison the Knicks look disjointed. For a team containing such talented 3&D wings and KAT the spacing is weird. I feel genuinely sorry for Hart every time the ball is reset back to him.

I get that they use motion, but at times the motion seems to be taking the train crashing off the tracks.

Even setting this aside game I have much more confidence in the Cavs prospects.

RulersBack | Cavaliers

29 | 8 hours ago

At least on paper they addressed their biggest flaw imo. DG availability/Jerome could barely bring the ball up the floor vs IND and now it’s Schroder/Harden/Don. Some good and bad but all proven playoff commodities

Padulsky21 | Nets

11 | 7 hours ago

Cavs got a lot of rim pressure which opens up a lot for the bigs and why JA is dominating so much outside of just Harden. Dennis brings a lot of rim pressure and he’s a great drive and kick guy. Entire floor gets opened up the spacing is a lot more comfortable than before Harden. Mobley doesn’t have as much of a load to carry so he can focus on defense

flaming_burrito_ | Wizards

16 | 7 hours ago

I was telling my friend when the Harden trade happened, if the chemistry is good I could easily see the Cavs gaining momentum going into the playoffs and making it all the way. That backcourt of Harden, Dennis, and Keon are nasty, and Harden being able to facilitate for Mobley, Allen, and Mitchell should mitigate his signature playoff fumbles. I know people don’t trust the Cavs in the playoffs, but they’ve been rolling lately. I really like the trades they made at the deadline for their chances

Batman_in_hiding | Nets

8 | 6 hours ago

Yea ngl I feel better about his chances at a ring this year than ever before.

At this age Harden can’t score like he used to but he is so fucking good when playing in a fast paced pass heavy offense, especially when he isn’t asked to carry the scoring load

Similar to kd, thy both screwed themselves by thinking their best bet was to team up why other superstars nearing the end of their prime

Mitchell is top 10 in playoffs PPG. Super reliable playoff buckets, he just needs an actual point guard next to him to play make and prevent him from getting blitzed every possession.

He’s never once had a great wing next to him.. He’s had smaller point guards and great bigs that are flawed in some way but never great wing play

Idk the context of the nicks health issues last year.

Game 2 was decided by a buzzer beater 3 so it could have gone either way. Also Donovan Mitchell’s performance that game was better than any pacers player in any game in the playoffs last year.

I think the Bridges trade has held back the Knicks significantly. Not even that he’s a bad player. But 5 first round picks is legit insane.

nah bridges got two stops on a injured jaylen brown and a braindead jayson tatum that one time so it means he was worth. he’s also really good at statpadding middies in the fourth. i would trade those picks for him ten times over!

Padulsky21 | Nets

He’s a great shooter but he provides no rim pressure whatsoever and is averse to contact considering he’s at 1.2 FTA per game. He’s gonna give you a 3 or a middy and on defense he struggles against stronger wings. He compliments every team well but doesn’t add that extra oomph

TheSmokedSalmon420 | Cavaliers

Knicks built a great team then blew all their trade assets on KAT and Bridges - both really good players but a weird fit for what was a really cohesive roster (then made even worse by moving from Thibs system to whatever Mike Brown is doing)

KAT has been our best player since the break, was 5-5 tonight and we completely froze him out the entire second half, despite everyone else on the team playing like absolute dogshit.

It’s no wonder he’s constantly frustrated with his role on this team.

cavsking21 | Cavaliers

he is also way too passive himself, he was ⁵⁄₅ and got small guys switched on to him but popped on PnR every time and refused to back them down

I have no idea how evaluate the Eastern Conference, on Sunday the Cavs lose to the Thunder down SGA and Williams, Monday the Spurs beat the Pistons, Tuesday the Cavs beating the hell out of the Knicks. I have no idea who is coming out of the East.

cavsking21 | Cavaliers

23 | 7 hours ago

I will defend the Cavs a bit - Sunday was their 3rd game in 4 days (really bad historical record) and had an abhorrent start. Outside of the first 6 minutes they were better than OKC. Was also OKC’s best shooting game of the season, could argue 3pt variance there.

TheSmokedSalmon420 | Cavaliers

8 | 6 hours ago

To piggyback off your 3 in 4 day point: Teams are 21-50 when they’re on a 3-in-4 set with a start time before 6pm.

emperorwuofwei | Thunder

-5 | 7 hours ago

Cavs were outscored in the 4th, not sure “outside of the first 6 minutes they were better than OKC” really checks out here. In fact, Cleveland led with 8+ minutes left in the 3rd.

I agree on the rest disadvantage stuff playing a factor though

TheTreeFuzz | Cavaliers

7 | 7 hours ago

I think they just mean technically after that 28-5 start we outscored 108-93, which is not really how you evaluate that but I get what they mean.

emperorwuofwei | Thunder

2 | 6 hours ago

They get credit for digging out of the deficit for sure. Still lost what was effectively a 0-0 game across the final 20 minutes. This basically just averages out to a very normal, competitive game as a whole.

TheTreeFuzz | Cavaliers

2 | 5 hours ago

I mean I agree. Doesn’t really matter who won the last 40 minutes if you lost the first 8 that bad.

cavsking21 | Cavaliers

1 | 7 hours ago

I mean, I am talking about an overall 42 minutes where we outscored them by 15.

emperorwuofwei | Thunder

1 | 6 hours ago

The Cavs dug all the way out of the hole just over half way through the game — taking the lead at that point — and still lost by 8 after the final 20 minutes played out.

WalkingOnSunshine_ | Cavaliers

8 | 7 hours ago

Eh Sunday was our third in four days, Cleveland -> Charlotte -> OKC, and was an early afternoon game. Teams have been historically terrible in that position. Spotted them a 23 in the first 6 minutes but was pretty even after that.

Our defensive was the most impressive thing for me tonight. Ellis and Schroeder have transformed what we can do in matchups and switching.

I actually believe in the Cavs roster, they’re really well constructed. I think all their flaws have fail safes. I’d take Boston as a close second-Tatum is going to come back and be an ultimate glue guy and they have experience. The Pistons shooting will be a fatal flaw in the East but they’re third IMO. The knicks are going to disappoint IMO.

I’m thinking anyone can win out from 1-4 (Piston, Cavs, Knicks, Celts). 5 if the Pacers were complete. 6 if the Bucks are complete or if Toronto is able to consolidate some shit for a better Center rotation or if the Magic just get healthy enough to figure out wtf they have.

40% FG and 27% from 3 for the Knicks makes it look better than it was. Before garbage time, I think I remember seeing 34% FG. That is just disgustingly bad, and a number of those shots were wide open.

You really cannot win against a good team like that, and the Knicks have done this a number of times since the new year. I don’t want to lose hope as a fan, but they need to figure things out before the playoffs.

nvUaWVm360S | Knicks

27% from 3, mostly wide open looks and about 13 unforced turnovers will net you a loss against most teams. On to the next.
