no i agree with that, which is why he needs to hit the gym and adding new moves to his arsenal going into next year, then he will get the ball where he wants it

He’s been working at it in the off-season, but they need to do more in creating those type of plays for him where he can extend his range on offense.

He loses confidence quick when it’s not falling instead of keep going at it and trying like other players do until they build confidence.

Cleveland really need to make a decision on Jarret Allen in the off season

Trading for Mitchell accelerated the rebuild & honestly I don’t know if they were ready yet

Allen is a core element of that twin tower configuration tho

 

[Regular_P]

And whose fault is that? You can’t improve on offense if you aren’t getting the touches to do and experiment in what works and what doesn’t.

It’s why Mitchell on that roster accelerated the timeline.

It's Mobley's fault because he clearly didn't work on anything in the offseason.

There's nothing like the Garden organ too. Love that they aren't blaring a bunch of music every possession. Should be a league wide rule.

this was definitely a shot at the dubs cause every offensive position they play a different fukkn song

I've heard Go Loko, That's That, and This is How We Do in the span of 5 minutes.

I like both of these teams been a good series so far

Really impressed by the Kings

yup
all the cavs really need is a better sf

Bro nikkas don’t know what they’re talking about .

Right now Mobley and Allen are getting slandered instead of the nikka that’s supposed to be the #1 .


…and part of the reason they’re getting slandered is because they gotta scramble all over the damn place trying to help on his fraudulent D

Arguably, game 2 was his best game. Wasn't chucking, just let the game come to him and set his teammates up. That's fine if everyone else is cooking, but you need to know when to takeover.

Says who as we saw practicing his jumper all off-season long and why it was optimism that it was improving.

Once again, how are you going to improve something if you aren’t getting the touches on offense to do so? His touches have actually went down with Mitchell on the roster.

Posters are talking about Mobley as if he’s a veteran already.

Hopefully this off season we see what Randle and IQ can net us


But for now, big props to Brunson, Robinson hart and RJ

Them boys embody that Knicks spirit

I love Toppin but I'd trade him with Randle over IQ if I have to. I don't see any team dumb enough to want Randle dolo so maybe I'd try to offload Randle and a bunch of picks and keep both.

They need more depth on the bench as well.

Allen's getting paid $20 million annually but all he's done is be a glorified traffic cone on defense while letting 6'1 guards grab rebounds over him this series. Don't know how anyone could watch these games and determine he isn't a massive part of the Cavs problems.

Update the narrative brother.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Nothing wrong with him per se but I'm sure the Cavs would prefer a two day wing defender that can give them 20 any given night since Mobley can do what Allen does and more.


I agree, but it can be argued that Lauri doesn't become Lauri in Cleveland. I'm a chicago fan and Lauri didn't make any kind of difference there

I think part of the reason why it worked in Cleveland was because of the size/spacing that the Cavs had. Do you really think Mitchell Robinson has the success he does if there's 3 7 footers on the floor at the same time? And in terms of offense, that would force the Knicks to have to play Randle a ton.

Taking the high road

You fasho just left church

The reality is I’ve never lied about anything I’ve said about my nikka 30-4-30 ….so it is what it is regarding how others feel.. I’m comfortable resting on the facts
