Works for us.

Not for this game, but I wish him the best of luck. He's both extremely lucky and unlucky to be in his position. Anyone could kill to make an NBA roster at his level, but he has to do so with the most pressure a second rounder has ever had.

I read he'll be with the G League affiliate after tonight, so that will take some pressure off.

That first quarter couldn't have gone any better. Great shot quality and hit 8/13 threes.

Also we played the dreaded Garland, Niang, Merrill line-up for 3 minutes and 1 second and it only allowed three points (a tough LeBron three over Mobley). Obvi that won't stick haha.

Can't help but think AD playing dead on two separate occasions helped us pull this off.

And the Garland, Niang, Merrill line-up played an add'l two minutes and 54 seconds and only allowed two more points so I stand corrected

Well that was about the perfect half......offense got a little stagnant at the end but that's nitpicking another good quarter and this might be a early night for the starters

Held the 19 point lead into the 2nd half.

Jarrett Allen is getting a ton of run due to Mobley's foul trouble and is making the most of it. I assume Allen and Mitchell should get lots of rest in the 3rd quarter to keep them available for if this goes sour at any point.

Cavs up 19 at half with Mobley and Garland playing a combined 15 mins due to foul trouble, wow.

Go Cavs, keep it up!

This foul disparity is unreal, wow.

Another Cavs blowout, coaching matters fellas.

Playing a 10 man rotation, no one over 31 minutes.

Great start to the season, praise to Kenny and his staff for pulling the right levers.

Allen played 22 minutes in the first half because of Mobley's foul trouble. I was sort of shocked we didn't put Mobley or TT in during the second quarter. Luckily (or because we left him in?), we didn't have to play Allen much in the 2nd half.

I saw that on the game cast last night.

Through 5 though, very even minute distribution.
