Evan Mobley needs to KEEP SHOOTING | How the Cleveland Cavaliers KEEP WINNING | Locked On Cavs
On this episode of Locked On Cavs, Danny Cunningham (The Inside Shot, Cleveland Magazine, 92.3 The Fan) dives into Evan Mobley’s recent surge in three-point shooting over the past 16 games for the Cleveland Cavaliers. He also takes a look at the pairings the Cavs have been frequently using this season involving Mobley and Donovan Mitchell as well as Darius Garland and Jarrett Allen. Danny also mentions that the Cavs have the best rating in the NBA over the previous 10 games and that the team has nothing to prove on this road trip despite squaring off with three tough opponents this week.

Guess i will ve furst comment 😂
Cavs are also 7-0 vs the Western Conference. That’s more impressive than being 10-4 vs winning teams IMO.
Warriors!!! Come out to playyyyyy!!!!
I've been very happy with Mobley's play. He is handling the ball more, scoring more, and keeping his turnovers down. If teams start chasing him off the three point line, he will be getting to the hoop very frequently.
The Cavs have the best locked on Podcasters. I have any other locked on NBA podcasts.
Danny cunningham try not to shit on Jarrett allen for one episode challenge (impossible)
Well, Mobley needs to get his dribbling up the way I seen Victor handle the ball last night showed me the difference between the two
So the thing with them being best with Mobley at center I think requires context. Don't look at just the two man lineups and the on off, look at the 5 man lineups to get context for when he's playing.
The lineups doing heavy lifting for this narrative are mostly lineups that face opposing benches and then a handful of lineups pulled out to close games that have played barely 20 minutes or fewer total this year.
The best lineup they have that consistently faces opposing starters is their go to closing lineup of the big 4 + Levert, which has a +25 net rating with a 123 offensive rating and a 98 defensive rating, both of which are bonkers.
So no, I do not think they are best with Mobley at center because when you dig into the data more deeply, the value of playing him and Allen together becomes very clear, not just including but ESPECIALLY in most closing situations.
I'm at the point where I'm very excited on game days and can't wait till the game starts and it's because of the Cavs brand of basketball. I've watched every team play this season and the Cavs hands down play the best basketball out of every single team in the NBA this season. The Cavs offense is a beautiful thing to behold because they constantly create the best looks on offense better than any team I've watched play this year.
I just want all of them to stay healthy because injury is the only thing that can stop this team from winning the Championship. I've watched a lot of basketball over the last 45 years and this is one of the best teams up to this point of the season that I've ever seen. I've witnessed individual greatness from all of our past NBA stars and Hall of Famers but with this team it isn't about that. The Cavs as a team are playing historically great and I Love it! "Let's Go Cavs"!
