I really like the city edition jerseys this year. They're pretty different from our normal colors, but aesthetically pleasing.

I like the color combo.

Doesn't seem like Garland will have anymore spacing to work with tonight.

Digital antenna picks up ABC, so I'll be watching the 2022 Finals rematch but wearing my Cavs jersey lol

If you ever need a place to watch the Cavs for free, albeit maybe not necessarily legal, let me know.

Allen was hedging on a SGA Poku PNR and Okoro's only job was to guide SGA into the screen, but SGA blew right past Okoro leading to an and one lay-up.

I probably harp on Okoro too much, but when he makes big mistakes defensively it really worries me since he brings so little offensively.

Mobley showing some flashes of Giannis-y offense.

I would love them to feed him more in transition if they can, its hard to stop him.

The problem there is that Mobley plays too many minutes to run hard in transition. We are one of the slowest teams in the league for a reason.

Yeah, he is one of the slower ones to get down the court on the offensive end (and also further back due to be nearing the rim).
You don't see him being one of the players getting down the floor on the break.

I will give props to JB for playing a bit of an extended line-up today. He a nine man rotation out and played RLo for five minutes while Mobley and Allen rested. Those five minutes sucked, but I'm glad he did it.

Glad they got the win, was it a LeVert chuck fest? 38% from 2pt on high volume, yuck.

It was an alright LeVert game. He definitely wasn't out there chucking and set-up a few nice plays with his passing and played good defense. We needed all 22 points of his volume mediocre efficiency scoring tonight FWIW.

Lots of ball movement, attacking the rim, and running the clock. Very few hero shots until the clock ran down.

Happy to see Stevens confidently take shots from three. Only 2/5, but that volume is what we want to see.

He also did a better job guarding SGA than most, particularly down the stretch.
