Cavs playing with house money. If it becomes a defensive battle they have the lead and the better closer. If it speeds up well, they have the better shooters.
Aaron Gordon, Devin Booker, Tyrese Halliburton, Trae Young, Anthony Edwards and Luka Doncic all made the Conference Finals.
Where’s Joel Embiid?

Cavs trying to make 3s, but they built their lead with 2s. Orlando adjustment, or Cavs getting ahead of themselves?

Ok, can someone explain to me why, Banchero at his size, consistently stops short of getting into the lane? Does he not realize how big he is? Does he not like the contact?
He has the step, beats his man, picks up his dribble, and either passes it back out like a grenade, or takes a crap stepback. He needs to be going full force, and yamming that **** through the rim.

The big thing here is that Orlando is hitting their shots. I’m getting game 3 vibes right now.

Instead of bringing in Niang, JBB needs to consider playing TT and playing Mobley at 4 when Allen sits.

Both teams lack disciplined offense. Taking turns instead of attacking openings whatever they might be on each possession.
Organization can be defined as an organized body of people with a particular purpose. Not random.

For whatever reason he really likes those middy shots. And he’s not very efficient with those, yet.

You better get Orlando now before they improve the backcourt, because that frontline is NBA title contention worthy in 2 years.

mobley looks like he hasn't improved on offense one bit since he was drafted.
