PG: Barnes showed up... nobody else did

from minute 1 the cavs were playing at different speed.

Mobley and Allen are what I called mobile bigs. not Poeltl. Yak is not some lumbering giant but he's closer to one than he is to a real agile big man like those 2.

Their guards weren't just faster physically. They are faster because they are natural ball handlers and rim runners. the closest thing we have to that is RJ.

We needed a mobile big to complement Yak but we traded for the slowfooted Olynyk. Go figure.
One step forward, then two steps back with this lot.

No, we don't need anyone to complement Poeltl - we need Poeltl to complement the core. If he can't do that, he's the wrong player for this team. Why on earth should they be tailoring the team around someone who ought to be the least important starter?

Lol, "least important starter". Yeah, we looked great with our "least important starter" out there.

Scottie is the mobile big. They just need to move Trent out and put Brown in the SL to take on defensive assignments. Or Agbaji.

I'm not sure what your point is. On a good team, Poeltl's ideal role is doing the dirty work on the boards, setting picks and rim-diving. If you are suffering badly without Poeltl, you're already a terrible team - which is what they are.

Don't waste your breath, he's like the biggest Jak fanboy on the forums.
