He was moving with more fluidity, he ran the court better, he had more arc and air on his shot, better lift.
It still looks like he has back pain or something like that.

Also, Boban Marjanovic is a beast :( **** Spurs.


??. I havent seen much of him play yet, I thought he rarely left the bench?


The dude is dominant as ****, Blatt should have known about him though, he signed for 2m for a year, Cavs couldn't have sign him then right? they could only sign Min contract players?

search him on youtube.


Do you think he is currently better then Varejao though? If not, I don't see how much use he could be to the cavs

TT 's defence has been pretty good this year it's just at times it has looked horrible with his late rotations.
He seems to be half a second late rotating so often.
His man defense has been great and overall he's been darn good. We also saw in the playoffs and against okc when he's engaged he can rotate well and play great help d.

Also why does love not even bother to try and rotate ever? He just gives away layups it's so annoying.

What do you mean? we have a rotting Sasha Kaun on the bench, ofcourse he would have been helpful.
I'm telling you, he is a beast!

He's easily better than Varejao IMO. Although I think andy is basically useless now.

Could we have signed him though with no cap space left? Just asking, I'm just a jealous guy, It's like when the Cavs traded away Wiggins and Bennett, I felt like the Cavs could have gotten Dieng and didn't have to include that Miami pick, I'm still thinking about that ****.
That Cle 2016 first round pick that was given for free to Boston, that too.

Like, we could have been that much stronger.

Varejao has been good in limited minutes, the guy just makes a difference when he is in the game. Ive been calling for him to get more minutes all season. I would like to see a Varejao-Mozgov combination sometime to see what they could do together.

I watched him(Boban) whole last season in Europe, and he would be useful with the Cavs for sure.He is 7'3" which is enough for scoring near the basket against backup centers alone and he has pretty reliable mid-range game too.Obviously, his lack of mobility could be a problem on defense and in parts of the game when the tempo is high, but he is still good scoring option in slow-paced games maybe even against starting centers.He is better than Kaun and maybe he is better than Varejao too, but I don't think we could sign him on minimum contract.

TT will be fine once we get our identity back. The ball has been sticking in LeBron hands way too often since Kyrie was out and that's when TT gets marginalized. When the ball is moving and our assist numbers are high it's easy to see Tristan offensive value.

Defensively, he has never been a rim protector and shouldn't be used as one.
