Cavs need a Big shovel.
They've dug a pretty big hole, this 1st Half.

I'm pretty high on Mobley as a player but he was overhyped coming into the league. Still not much of any offensive game, can't space the floor and while I don't watch the Cavs that often his hands are pretty unimpressive, I've seen him fumble a lot of passes under the basket the last couple games. qualifier - SMALL sample size and I'm not backing it up with stats. Just haven't been all that impressed.

edit: looking at his stats for the season and I guess he just isn't playing well in the playoffs

13-12 vs. Heat in playoffs since 2019-20.
3-4 vs. Magic past two regular seasons.
8-8 vs. Knicks since 2020-21.
1-1 vs. Wolves this season.

Gonna be the toughest path any team in NBA history has to go through to win a chip.

This whole Playoffs has really been setup nicely. Good Teams playing off against each other.

Cavs are being crushed by the opponent they handpicked, but there is still time. Magic will give us trouble. Go Cavs!

If Cavs advance, Adam Silver should allow the Celtics to rent Grant Williams for the next series. He needs his redemption.

Banchero just stood around on two offensive boards. With his size, he can easily be bodying people to get those. Seems to be taking plays off, not even running back on D, either.

Not concerned with either. We should win in 5 tops.

Next opponent of the Celtics is gonna be tougher than any team Tatum has ever faced. Tougher than the Lebron Cavs, Giannis Bucks, Bubble Raps, any of the Butler-Spo Heat, or 2022 Champs.

That's my story and I'm gonna stick with it.
