I just fast forward to McNuggets because he’s the only one who knows hoops.
I don't understand how we have 2 all star big men and can't rebound
In 82 games, every NBA team will have games like this.
We have to admit that this team is who we think they really are. Prone injury and full of nice guys. The 4 core ceiling has already reached its peak they've been together 4 years now.This team is really built for 2nd round beyond that probably confernce finals at best. As far as being a champion that will never happen. Remember this team is one if not the highest payroll im the league this year. If I were the managemant I will start looking and building for the future. Their best chance of going all the way really was last year and they blew it and deep down they knew it as well. Nothing to be ashamed of anyways.
For those that are overreacting because of last night's blowout loss against the Celtics in Boston, take a deep breath because this is not a time to panic, because the season just started and we are not in November just yet. The Cavaliers right now are shorthanded with no Darius Garland (the Cavaliers are currently 9-7 (.563) without him since hiring Atkinson), no Max Strus (he should not start at the SF spot again), and no Sam Merrill (Cleveland won 3 straight after dropping the opener because of his hot start at 3-pointers). However, the whole team, especially Evan Mobley, will figure things out as the season progresses when Garland, Strus and Merrill return from their injuries by the end of 2025.
Id rather see them suck this early than after the all star break or obviously in the postseason. But this was sad. Tyson played better than anyone else second half
Mitchell took 12 shots all game…Hunter and Mobley combined took 36 shots…CLEARLY they tried to get those 2 going…but it backfired horribly…
I will hit the mega million before mobley be mvp
Blame atkinson dont run plays for big men
And Mobley…as a big…should be north of 55 FG%…41% is way too low…
Get Mobley back in the paint man he can shoot a 3 but dude is a big after all
panic? stupid title. this show is a joke
I it possible that we’re experimenting and testing things out? Like are we trying to development Mobley for the playoffs or something like that? Play around in the regular season so we can figure out wtf to do in the playoffs? This is out best chance. The east is open. The pathway is there to make a run
Cavs are in playoff form
What's crazy is that DM is so good that he goes 5 of 12 and has 4 rebounds 6 assists, and that's his bad game…
Mobley softer that baby poop!!!😂😂go celtics!!!!!
Evan Mobley need to take a tour thru EC and fight a couple dudes or something.
I get that the 3pt shot is the new nba now, but when that shot isn’t falling, they gotta start getting in the paint. Yesterday was a very winnable game but they let it get away from them in the 2nd quarter. If only they didn’t chuck up so many 3s….
Mobley is not a 1st option please stop forcing it
Its been 5 games jesus christ
Cavaliers soft
The 3 point shooting got ridiculous
Mobley was the only so called big man to win defensive player of the year and not average 10+rebounds in my memory and up to this point he's never averaged 10 or more rebounds. I think Mobley should just focus on becoming a beast on the boards and playing defense and let the offensive end come secondary because he's pressing on the offensive end of the court and that's why he's been inefficient!
MC nuggets saying 2 legitimate 7 footers is not a Legitimate statement because Mobley and Allen are not 7 foot!
Mobley stock is plummeting. Looks soft n scared vs the celtics g league. Fade aways when guards r on him.
The Mid range shot needs to be utilized and in the paint. Dont live and die by the 3
Is this bunch capable of being embarrassed? They don't mind losing at all.
