Mobley over\under 22.5 points?

With Garland and Mitchell back, I'm tempted to go under. Plus, Herb Jones will probs be on him so I'm not expecting a lot of self-generation outside of the post.

Ingram is going to be a problem for us.

It will be interesting if they keep Mobley on him. Lots of switches inbound...

Whoa the game is on at the bar.

Mitchell is looking athletic again. He hasn't moved this well in a while.

Murphy looks like he could be Paul George 2.0.

Can I change my answer?

Mobley and Wade have a done a good job on him so far. Its interesting they are having Okoro guard McCollum and Alvarado.

Good half. Hopefully we don't come out in the 3rd quarter lackadaisical because a 17 point lead is nothing in the current NBA. We need to do a better job not overcommitting to Ingram. If he kills us with contested mid range jumpers over Mobley that's fine, but sending an extra defender just so he can make an easy pass for a much better shot is dumb. 6 assists already for him at the half.

Despite Ingram shooting pretty efficiently, I think we’ve played him specifically very well. His best plays have come where they force Allen on him (while Mobley is off the floor) and attack him directly with no help behind him (or small help from Garland or DMitch).

This may be the best we’ve played the passing lanes all year.

Allen and Mobley are getting so good making reads in the short roll. Them being capable playmakers from the middle of the floor is so key to us being able to build a championship-level offense while playing two traditional bigs. Next step is Mobley being more of a shooting threat.
