As disappointing as that game was, they had to end the streak at some point. We are lucky that it lasted so long in the first place considering how bad some of those games earlier were going like the blazers game. I’ll take the longest streak in franchise history any day!
The Cavs win the game if Mobley was able to play. This is a game where we can all see how valuable a backup Big would've helped because Tristan Thompson even though he wasn't the reason why the Cavs lost watching the Cavs play all season long Mobley is usually in the Game the minutes Tristan played in the first half.
If Jerod Allen could make a non-dunk basket in the paint, he might have been an All-Star!
Those 3 turnovers by our basket by Ty and DM were costly + missed free throws didn't help…Mobley a big diff maker missing…plus Sam,Hunter and Mitchell just didn't have it…..anthony black and KCP played over their heads as well. Start a new streak now! GO Cavs! Just was surprised to see our offense disappear for the last 3 quarters after a terrific 1st quarter. Move the ball..share the ball..get away from dribbling too much…that leads to lower percentage shots!
I think Kenny Atkinson is trying to get TT some time before playoffs start. TT is the only bully on the team. Niang is gone to Atl. Plus, TT has championship experience. That's valuable. Against a young team like the Magic, I would've played d-league new kid. He has the foot speed. I/M/O
😊Hunter held Banchero to 6 for 22
If Mr fantastic Evan Mobley plays — Cavs easily blow out the Magic!!
All of that is correct, but Kenny’s bad coaching didn’t help.
He failed to call a quick timeout after two consecutive turnovers, leading to a third. He had it easy before, but now he needs to step up, start coaching, and actually pay attention.
One thing I’ve noticed is how they close games when they have a big lead. Almost the team have came all the way back with 3rd string players.
Sloppy habits!!!
