Is Isaac Okoro really carrying us offensively?

Okoro with the only 8 points for the Cavs in the first 6 minutes. He was quick with his three attempt and aggressive attacking Holmgren. Cavs missing some easy ones, but we are also relying a little too much on Mitchell to just generate something. Mobley is off on offense thus far.
Defense keeping it close for now.

I’m not really sure what’s going on right now. I think the Cavs may have swapped Okoro out with a clone or something.
This guy really are his wheaties this summer

This does seem like a good game for Mobley to get some easier shots. The only big that the Thunder have played so far is Chet.
Without Chet on the floor, Cavs found Mobley against two smalls and got two extremely easy shots.
Edit: Ousmane Dieng has also been played, my bad

Bally's isn't making it out of bankruptcy if this is how it goes.

I am not liking how Holmgren is nullifying Mobley. Mitchell follows up Chet's block on Mobley by bodying him and pushing him back. Maybe Mobley is trying to be a little too finesse around him.

Sadly accurate so far

I’m really disappointed with Mobley.

Garland is out, Cavs have no other offensive fire power and you’re doing nothing

Wish Okoro well... cannot believe the refs didn't call the play dead and then called the foul on Okoro who was just laying on the ground. Idk what they wanted him to do.
I think the Cavs' took that play to heart and have put an incredibly gritty quarter together. Still a lot more to do.

This game has been wild back and forth. IDK what the refs are on today (somewhat for both sides).

Cavs give us hope and then take it away lol
See, all this playing everyone a lot of minutes and keeping a short line-up would have been fine with a win since we could punt tomorrows game, but now we are going to have guys coming off 35-40 minute games playing tomorrow with a short line-up.
JB for the love of god, please play a 10-11 man line-up tomorrow.

Didn't watch but I'm convinced JB will never learn.
Yeah run Strus nearly 40 minutes on the first night of a back to back and on 3 games in 4 nights, he's already played 40 minutes twice.
Mitchell playing 42 minutes on game 2 of an 82 game season.
Same crap different season, trying to have Mitchell go hero doesn't work come playoff time, it's proven.
