Still playing keep away with the ball with our best offensive player.

It's like the game plan was to play directly into their hands. I don't get it.

But, yeah, I've long said he (and Ware) were not as good as they've been hyped to be by some.


You're wrong about Ware.

He's got insane upside, simply because he’s the best athlete on this team. His combine numbers were absolutely nuts — nearly 7'0" in shoes, 7'4" wingspan, around 230 pounds, and a 36-inch vertical leap. That kind of size + athleticism combo is incredibly rare.

Most guys his height either lack mobility, explosion, or coordination — Ware has all three. His movement skills at that size are special, and that’s the kind of physical foundation you just can’t teach. With good development and added strength, his ceiling is way higher than a lot of people realize.

He needs a few more years, but he’s got 20/10 on good efficiency with high level defense written all over him. Could be a real difference maker for them down the line.


Let's hope I am wrong, but Draft combine numbers don't mean much.



He was selected in the mid first round for a reason. Still raw. And big men usually take longer to develop. His biggest knock was the low motor, but I don't think he's got such a bad motor. Definitely needs a couple more years of seasoning for sure

It's going to be very annoying to watch the Cavs role players look like role players again in the 2nd round :nonono:

The Cavs are face guarding him with a double team within a couple of feet at all times. Plus he's having a tough shooting day.

I'd have liked to see more Ware today. Defensive issues aside, he seemed to be the one guy getting open shots and actually making them.

I noticed that when bam gets the ball inside, Cavs will try to double him. I think bam should still be inside and let Cavs double him and punish Cavs by pass the ball to an open teammates or let him go one on one.

Got to decide if we want to get our asses kicked every year in the 1st round, or make a change

The difference between Bam and Mobley is Mobley doesnt hesistate. He makes a decision and act.
