He's just not the kind of guy who will force a bunch of terrible shots against multiple defenders. I mean, he gets double teamed in the paint and kicks out to a wide open shooter. That's an objectively good play. He has to be coached to be more selfish and play through contact. But, it's not a bad thing that he is willing to make the extra pass. He has five assists in the first half.
This post is the ghost of defending young Kevin Garnett past. Not saying they're the same player, just saying offensively that's a young KG to a facepalming T.
But hes been good that first half.

Mitchell was quiet in the first half. He needs to get going if Cleveland is going to have a chance

So BFE is Bum **** Egypt. Damn that might be offensive today I should drop it.

Seriously. Mobley with just Aaron Gordon's brain would be fouling out this weak Celtic front court right now.

The Cavs have good potential, but somehow Mobley always looks a bit shook. If Mobley could reach all his potential, who knows, they could go all the way. But not seeing Mobley taking that step anytime soon, at least not right now.

The tempo with Jays taking turns is giving the Cavs ample opportunity. If the C's keep playing slow, they will gift another home playoff game to their opponent.

This lead will disappear once Niang comes back in

Mobley's having a good game and you guys are still crapping on him. I don't get it.

Without free throws, Tatum would be in single digits right now.

That's a tough call against Strus. Probably just a play on.

It’s a close game but the broadcast and the matchup are making me sleepy. I might not make it to oKC

"outstanding defense" really? That's just abysmal offense. No fakes, no bag, just drive and try to pull up in a taller defender's face.

I think at least offensively, Cleveland is happy as hell not to be playing Orlando anymore.
