Mobley came to play today.

Idc what anyone believes, the Cavs are better when he is taking and making 3s.

LeVert really needs to stop trying to play hero.

12 point lead at half, room for improvement in the second half.

LeVert got pulled fast and was using some machine on the bench on his arm. I didn't notice him tweaking anything.

Idk how we're getting away with Niang being Banchero's primary defender but if it keeps up and works, might be a short series lol

Well, a win is a win but that was ugly.

Cavs gotta take better care of the basketball, 18 turnovers is a recipe for disaster in any other ball game.

Mitchell and Allen had great games and Mobley with a really good 1st half.

Overall, hope to see a more convincing win in game 2.

I can't complain, they built the early lead and then refused to give it up. It's how a game 1 is supposed to go, but they can't lapse in game 2. We have to assume Orlando will shoot better in Orlando.

I know it's the playoffs, but Mo Wagner was off the chain.

I think it's quarter to quarter, but yes.

I suspect we're going to have to put in M. Morris or TT before this series is over to help the officials remember the boundary between playoff foul and dangerously reckless.
