Allen is back, so that's cool.

This has been a weird game defensively.

Don’t have a lot of takes, but based on the eye test only, I feel like we’ve played pretty good defense and the Lakers are making some tough ones.

Well we have given up 11 ORBs so there is that.

Allen with a double-double, Garland with his normal floor general double-double, Don put up 40, Mobley with a near double-double, and Stevens somehow played more minutes than were in the game lol

You know LBJ is just chomping at the bit to play with the Cavs core 4.

It is also nice to beat the old man 2 times in 1 season.

Ham f'ing giftwrapped this game for the Cavs with that final Schroder-Westbrook-Walker-Reeves-LeBron lineup he trotted out... it's still blowing my mind; that's what put the game out of control. He had Westbrook on Mobley ffs.

Back in the day, we'd be going nuts on the message boards if LeBron had only a missed 3pter and a single assist in the 4th quarter of a close game regardless of what kind of lineup we put around him - and yet his season averages are just a little lower than his career averages.

We have some time before the next game, I might rewatch the 4th quarter and just focus on whatever it was LeBron was doing and how we defended him.
