Evan Mobley DOMINATED the Bucks, so how can the Cavaliers get that version of him every night?
Evan Mobley had 27 points and a season-high 15 rebounds, and James Harden also scored 27 as the Cleveland Cavaliers opened a three-game trip by beating the short-handed Milwaukee Bucks 123-116 on Tuesday night.
Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo sat out with a left knee hyperextension and bone bruise. This was the career-high 32nd game the two-time MVP has missed this season, and the Bucks fell to 11-21 without him.
The Bucks also didn’t have Myles Turner because of a right calf strain. Cleveland’s Jarrett Allen missed a sixth straight game because of tendinitis in his right knee.
In a game featuring 11 ties and 16 lead changes, Cleveland pulled ahead for good 103-100 on Sam Merrill’s 3-pointer with 6:55 remaining, which started an 8-0 run.
Milwaukee cut the lead to 110-106 on an Ousmane Dieng’s 3-pointer with 3:39 left, but Cleveland responded with seven straight points. The Cavs stayed in front by at least five the rest of the way.
Milwaukee’s Kevin Porter Jr. had 25 points and 10 assists. Dieng, Bobby Portis and Ryan Rollins added 19 points each. | https://www.espn.com/nba/recap/_/gameId/401810850

27 and 15 is what we get out of our 50 million dollar big man against a team with kyle kuzma at the 5 half the game lmao. The bar for mobley is on the floor
Hammer you down low is wild g
Harden said it "Felt" like he got 35 and 20. Saying Evan played bigger than his stats.
The bucks didn’t have a center lol. You guys just keep lying and lying and u know exactly what you’re doing – taking advantage of stupid people.
Don and harden need to play more. No one likes kenny’s system. Nor his offense/defense. The biggest issue is size on the roster (they can contest until their heart’s content but players will just shoot over them because they’re TOO SMALL) but the other issue is kenny is awful, they should’ve recognized that jordan ott was the guy from last year and tried to retain him. And again, it all starts with dan gilbert who is STILL trying to replicate the badboy pistons championship team with two guards:
Eric snow, daniel gibson
Mo williams, delonte west
Collin sexton, darius garland
Garland, donovan mitchell
Merril, ellis, etc.
They’re too small and it’s being perpetuated purposely by a complete loser/idiot in dan gilbert that is obsessed with the badboy pistons and the lillard mccollum blazers.
You’re all welcome.
Evan Mobley, malgré sa taille, n’est pas un intérieur. Beaucoup pensent qu’il suffit d’être grand pour jouer inside, mais c’est faux. Mobley a un rôle beaucoup plus proche d’un ailier fort moderne, un profil à la Kawhi Leonard, mais formé différemment.
Quand tu regardes ses déplacements, sa mobilité latérale, ses changements d’appuis, tu vois tout de suite qu’un vrai intérieur ne pourrait pas répéter ces mouvements en continu. Mobley joue haut, mobile, polyvalent : c’est un ailier fort dans un corps de pivot, pas un intérieur traditionnel.
Small on purpose.
Examples (tiny backcourts) since dan has been owner (and why he’s an awful owner) :
Eric snow, daniel gibson
Mo williams, delonte west
Collin sexton, darius garland
Garland, donovan mitchell
Merril, ellis, etc. and all of them were together for YEARS.
WE WILL NEVER WIN WITH THIS OWNER WAKE TF UP!!!!!!! TEAMS WILL JUST SHOOT OVER A TEAM FILED WITH GUARDS IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW GOOD YOUR CONTESTS ARE!!!!! THE REST OF THE LEAGUE LOOKS FOR WINGS AND ONE BIG AT MOST WHILE THE CAVS PROVE TIME AND TIME AGAIN THEY EITHER DONT KNOW HOW TO OR ARE TOO NAIVE TO BUILD A CHAMPIONSHIP ROSTER!!!!! THIS IS ALL DAN GILBERTS DOING HE MEDDLES MORE THAN ANY OWNER EVER HE IS THE GM BEHIND THE SCENES PEOPLE!!!! 🤦‍♂️
Mobley's jump shooting is bad right now. He's got to start knocking down his jump shots!!!
they cant against teams with thick bigs
Whew its a lot of static on stage….Bush lookjng comfortable in truth whilst Jason sits with egg on di face
They didn't play nobody and they almost blew the game once again at the end on top of it the bucks didn't have their star.. I don't give much praise when they play bad teams and barely pull off the win.. straight up.. I don't see the Cavs going very far in the playoffs it's a whole different level when that time arrives. If they're struggling against these bad teams pretty much all season how do you think they're going to do in the playoffs lol just saying.. I'm as realistic as you can get on the situation..
Mobley needs to stay off the three point line and stay on the block. Allen is the pick and roll guy. Allen needs to stay healthy.
no tuner no giannis ev is still a weak ass nigga who needs to get in the gym stop shooting threes focus on the middy and post moves and prove his worth of that max we gave him… im tired of mike and lloyd acting like they know more ball than everyone else theyre the main ones hyping ev to shoot threes and promoting the fact that he needs to shoot more of them. i dont even see jb version of ev no more the agreesive downhill shoot middies mobley no more you know the usc EV. Making bigs 3pt shooters takes away from their abilty to dominate the paint. ev shot a lot of middies early on now he shoots none. the mid range is supposed to spark the 3 not the other way around EV was never a 3pt shooter to began with. Lastly I HATE KENNYS PHILOSPHY OF LAYUPS OR THREE. ALSO HIS ROTATION IS TERRIBLE. I KNOW CAVS BALL I DARE ONE OF U MOFOS TO TRY ME 🙂
You ALL are missing the point with Mobley. It's not about his performance as much as it's about his lack of IMPACT meaning in the FORCE he's doesn't play with. Doesn't matter what his line is if he doesn't play with force. This is the reason the Cavs record is the same with or without him. He's not a force multiplier impact wise
Against the G league Bucks cmon Mikey
watched most of the game, glad they won, but wow, between last night and Sunday, this team is horrible defending the 3, seems like every team can't miss against us
The bucks with third string front line do it in playoffs
We need to stop talking about this team winning a title this year or even going to the finals. This team is too small at every position and their defense is trash especially on the 3pt line.
Mobley is not a center. I've been saying that for a while now. He's not big or strong enough. He couldn't back down PJ "baby mama drama" Washington who is not even a real center. Had Giannis played last night or even if Milwaukee wasn't trying to tank, we would have lost last night. Most of this fanbase is delusional.
stop saying max is a wing. he is not a wing. hes a combo guard. too small
