Another ugly ugly game
Timestamps!!
00:00 – Cavs-Nets Recap & Harden’s Leadership
Kicking off with the overall game reaction, Harden’s strong return from injury, and insight on his emerging leadership role in the Cavs locker room.
14:34 – Mobley & Ellis Impact
Breakdown of Evan Mobley’s efficiency, defensive value, and limited minutes, plus the outstanding defensive performance by Keon Ellis and discussions on Cavs’ role players.
25:22 – Cavs’ Schedule & Win Analysis
Discussion of the Cavs’ grueling post-All-Star break schedule, why winning ugly matters, and why this win—style points aside—was meaningful for playoff positioning.
Good W
Won the first quarter and, although they fell asleep at the wheel for a little bit, locked in when it mattered at the end. & shout out to Harden/Ellis for gutting it out with busted fingers. No excuses these guys are both tough.
Mobley needs to tweak his free throw technique. More loft, less of a line drive. Can't be shooting below 50%…
Good health hard
It’s all about 4/18.
Jarrett and Merrill have been gutting out games the last week. JA needs a day off to be honest
Danny wadup !!! Let's go Cleveland !!!! …. ✌️.
Put your opponent away when your up by 4. Put it on them. Foot on neck. Don't let up. Dagger shots.Put them away. Let em Know what you're about.
Harden playing is the biggest thing for me it makes it were we can still get a better seed
Keyon Ellis is a great basketball player I love his energy
Brad dority saying harden passing like Magic Johnson 😮
6 of 11 Is efficient 😂 that's pretty good
Take any win but its baffling hw a team with championship aspirations, don't feel they can stop a lottery team up 3 for one possession
Garland definitely wouldn't hv played with a broke thumb
