Mobley has a dunk and he's too scared to take it

Mobley doesn’t seem to be awake on offense. He is rebounding and defending when the ball comes to his man. But missing easy inside shots.

Okoro was 40% this year and consistently hit wide open 3s.

Feels like the Cavs have already had more open looks in the first half tonight than all 7 games against Orlando combined

Mobley needs to realize he's bigger than all these people and take these layups after grabbing these boards

Is Evan Mobley's brother actually good or is this like a nepo roster spot? Probably could have used it on someone else that JB would be willing to play. It's rough seeing TT and Morris being played out there.

This Celtic team plays with no fire from anyone not names Pritchard, Al, or White. I really don't see why so many people have them as clear favorites. All you have to do is play disciplined for a full 48 and you're going to have a chance.

Also, why are the fans so quiet? I've seen regular season games this year with more energy :lol:

Well on the bright side, this would be a good game Brown wasnt having the game of his life

I can handle weak, but these teams are also pretty boring to watch too. I’m sure if you are fans of these two teams this is entertaining but as a fan of neither team it is kind of a hard watch.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

He's got a long, long way to go offensively playing out of the 5, but JBB isn't helping his players out with his game plan.

Jarret Allen isn’t winning you anything. Garland won’t show up in the playoffs. Mobley is a glorified dunk man. Mitchell has some experience but is a liability on defense. To me, the Cavs are a treadmill team.

No Bro ,Only if he plays for Celtics :lol:


They don’t scare me. They don’t have a go too guy you can go to for a bucket. I’m actually fairly confident the cavs can make this competitive


Celtics is trash , you’re right about this , little adversity and Tatum/ Brown will shrink , Minnesota will sweep them if this is the finals

Nepo. Not an NBA player IMO and he runs kind of weird. Neither is Pete Nance and he's also on the roster.

Don’t ever care to post in the GB, but I’m still pretzel salty losing to this piss poor Cavs team. It should’ve been Orlando!! With that said I give The Mitchells 1 game. Celts in 5.

For this series only, Kornet’s offensive rebounding and the non-need to involve him in the offense could be more valuable than what Porizingis offers?
