The Cavaliers need way more from Evan Mobley if they want to be taken seriously as contenders
Brandon Ingram scored 15 of his season-high 37 points in the third quarter, Scottie Barnes had 18 points and 11 rebounds, and the Toronto Raptors beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 110-99 on Monday night for their eighth straight win.
Sandro Mamukelashvili scored 12 points and Immanuel Quickley had 11 for Toronto, which has won 12 of 13.
Two of the Raptors’ victories in their streak have come against the Cavaliers. Toronto swept the season series for the first time since the 2019-20 season.
Cleveland’s Donovan Mitchell had 17 points but shot 6 of 20, going 3 of 12 from 3-point range.
Jaylon Tyson scored 15 points, and Evan Mobley and Nae’Qwan each had 14 for Cleveland. Lonzo Ball shot 3 for 15, missing 10 of 12 attempts from long range to finish with eight points.
Toronto closed the first half with a 13-2 run to lead 57-54 at the break.
The Raptors played without RJ Barrett, who has a sprained right knee. Barrett left Sunday’s win over Brooklyn in the third quarter after landing awkwardly on a fast-break dunk. Tests did not reveal a serious injury, coach Darko Rajakovic said. | https://www.espn.com/nba/recap/_/gameId/401810139

Only team in NBA with off guards and small forwards groups that are to dammm small
Mobley looked weak tired
Mobley has no arsenal in his offensive game
Allen is 6’9 power forward playing center Mobley is a skinny center playing power forward
Honest Allen is better offensive player than Mobley they will never say it because Mobley is there Mobley media darling 😅
But they said Mobley would go #1 over Cade in a redraft 🙄
Cavs still was still missing 7 players strus garland Merrill hunter wade porter jr Allen
These Cavs Homers hate to admit that Scottie is better than Mobley and it’s killing them 😂
I thought Mobley‘s upside would be a Chris Bosh like player. He’s no Bosh.
Scottie Barnes is better than Mobley.
Mobley is basically Wiggins. Guaranteed 17 7 every game. No more no less. Great 4th option. But getting Max money
Stick to talking about the browns. Y’all don’t know ball 😂
Scottie Barnes was better then Mobley in most statistical categories as a rookie which is why he won ROY not to mention he can guard 5 positions and play PG. It was a no brainer he won ROY at the time you gotta stop crying that Mobley didn't win and act like he was robbed it's childish salty fan boy talk.
The guy in the red hat said it best, people projected Mobley to be the next Tim Duncan with absolutely no past evidence, just hoping he would improve fast
His ft shooting needs to be at least 80% to get to the next level as well.
Right now, I would trade Evan Mobley for Anthony Davis today!
Scottie Barnes has been the better player. He is more talented than yall are giving him credit for. He's grown into an all-defense team candidate and has a far deeper offensive game than Evan Mobley has. Even if the 3 point % dips a little everything else Barnes contributes puts him over rather comfortably.
Saying that Scottie Barnes is less talented than Mobley is insane! Scottie was the better player as a rookie, & he’s still the better player now
this topic is getting as old as mold. bottom line is this team blows!
It's wild that Tristan Thompson was a better player in his first 5 years than Evan. A better rebounder, defender and teammate. Come on now. Im done waiting. Package him up and makea trade.
Scottie Barnes not only correctly and rightfully owns the ROY honors over Mobley. Scottie Barnes is a far more complete player than Mobley
Should've moved on from mobley. No doubt he will improve, but not enough. Hes better suited in another team where he can be a role player amd not a star. His demeanor is too docile
Barnes is better than then mobley period
If you're the Cavs and youre all in for a championship this year would you entertain a trade of Mobley for Anthony Davis?
Scottie Barnes is as good of a defender and way better at everything else over Mobley. We can be homers all we want but all you have to do is look at the stats.
Mobley overated,a waste of 47 million a yr
So you pay a guy 47 mill and he has no confidence, fire kobe altman
Mobley goofy un coordinated
McNuggets has said for MONTHS that Mobley has to be the Cavs best player for them to win a title, but then complains that the Cavs “pulled the reigns back after 6 games” because he played like crap? He’s been bad and he’s no where near as good as McNuggets says he is
Jaylon Tyson is a MF hooper. That's the only silver lining in all this.
Nothing Mike says is valid on the Cavs. He has relationships with these guys. Mobley is a bust. Allen is trash.
Hahaha they sleeping on Scottie Barnes
Wow, the guy on the side doesn’t know anything about ball.
Scottie is listed as 6’7 and he makes Mobley at 6’11 look a damn child. Scottie can play 1 through 5 on offence and defence, even Stevie Wonder 😎 can see who the more talented player is.
Lmfao all these guys on the panel are butt hurt that Scottie won rookie of the year over Evan ,
Scottie is better and more skilled than Mobley at every facet of the game.
Evan cannot create his own shot , he needs others to set him up , he's always played his best because of Darius Garland cuz of that , he lacks heart , he lacks a 3rd and 4th dribble 😂
He's soft and don't have that dog in him , Scottie has everything you wish Mobley had lol
Scottie is a dog and took Mobleys lunch and was clapping in his face.
Yea a guy is more skilled that can't dribble the ball and needs others to set him up….good one😅
Give us J Allen we need a back up centre… you all don’t know what to do with him. 🦖 WE THE NORTH … Scottie will prove the fools wrong🦖
A girl told me Mobley sings Tevin Campbell in the shower -Nobody Nobody baby! 😂
Scottie can play the 4 or big position like mobley and he can guard and play the wing like a 2 or 3 Swiss Army knife ahh nigga
