It wouldn't have been if there was a Cav standing right there and we could say it was a failed alley oop

Seeing how awful our guards are, I wish we had two lottery picks in the last draft to add some talent to the backcourt.

Has there been one thing we've done better than Cavs so far today?

Gee i reckon we should just let Mitchell do whatever he wants in the second half. See if he can score 50.

Give it a try atleast ffs

I personally agree but Mos probably doesn’t think he’s ready for this moment. And he’s probably right. The intensity and level of detail needed for this is well beyond what he’s ready for. I’m technically with you. At this point give it a try. But I get why he’s not

I've literally seen it 10+ times on here and reddit. Especially after the miscues with Mobley/Allen with him and Paolo and the bench defense being worse without him.

Could just be lip service for "his knee is hurt", but we won't know more until proper tests at a hospital.


I think that is the case.

I would play Mac McClung over Fultz at this point.

You really think AB, Houstan and Goga are going to make the difference? Come on man



I think watching the same players struggle game in and game out and expect a different result is crazy… Not to mention they proved their ability to leading us to our best stretch of the season… Goga is a big body that can rebound and defend rim… Black is a smart defender with size and is a better three point shooter than the guards we are playing ahead of him…

I really just want to see if Black can help slow Mitchell down a bit or not. Give him 5 minutes dedicated to locking up Mitchell to disrupt his rhythm.

Also - why has Garland only played 10 minutes? Did he get hurt?

Outside of Wagner none of them look ready for the moment. That isn’t a good enough excuse.

Don't mind me, I'm just upset lol

All the teams in playoffs would have done the same scheme against this team. Others would have done it better.

Bensational wrote:No other team has 3rd stringers who started during a 9-game win streak. Don’t use that label to imply they’re unworthy when they’re just stuck behind a deep team.

But when Mosley is clearly exploring dual big lineups it seems like Goga is worth being in discussion. He’s the only guy with the size to really tangle Allen up a bit.


I called them 3rd stringers because they started the year as 3rd stringers and ended the year with mostly DNPs. There's no inference on their skill level.

In any event, there are 15 guys on a team and no other fanbase is calling for 14 people to play in the game.

There isn't even discussion on who is not getting minutes besides Fultz by playing these guys - it's fans just throwing names out there that haven't had the chance to suck yet.

I don't know that he's a center, I don't know that he's durable.
