"NY Needed RJ to be Lazarus, But the Cavs Gonna Need a Messiah in Cleveland" 2023 Cavs vs Knicks Playoff Thread

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.

We've seen Ben Simmons do the same thing.

Allen is a core element of that twin tower configuration tho

Clearly twin towers can be knocked down, though.


Edit:

After speaking to my PR rep, I was informed that I was hacked and this message was not posted by me.

I apologize to the people who the hacker offended with this post.

I'm going to donate 10k to a charity and appear on Good DAY America

Cavs about to get tossed.

Mitchell who y'all say is a "superstar" will flame out.

BAN ME FOR A WEEK if they don't.

Utah Lauri is ironically a perfect fit next to Allen, but it be like that

Mobley is that nikka but he doesn’t get plays ran for him. Especially in this series. This is also his second year. Stop dikk eating

Great analysis
He ain't shyt offensively
Had the ball plenty in this series and does nothing

We've seen Ben Simmons do the same thing.

The difference being that Mobley is actually trying, which is something that Simmons wouldn't do. It's disingenuous to even compare the two for that very reason especially considering that Ben Simmons would and still now have the green light to shoot as much as he wanted if he wanted to do so.

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.

It's definitely a valid point

Cavs needed sexton gone, not necessarily lauri

And when the Cavs had him, he was showing signs of being Utah Lauri, ironically enough.

Mitchell and Garland gets abused repeatedly on the perimeter,Mitchell completely vanishes and the big men take all the blame

This the Gobert shyt all over again

@ Game 5 being on NBATV

Glad we’ll be able to watch on MSG again.

Aside from the point, the 3 is the hardest position to find in the NBA. Ironically enough, the Cavs have had a bunch of them that they've always had to trade for Lebron, or Kevin Love, or a Mitchell. (Wiggins, Agbaji, Bennett). Unless Okoro and Mobley develop offensively, the Cavs are going to have to make a move. Mobley and Okoro need a mid-range game bad, Okoro especially. You can't be starting at the 3 in the NBA scoring less than 10 points a game.

It don’t matter what Okoro and Mobley do or develop they ain’t ever winning shyt with Mitchell/Garland . Only way a backcourt that small will EVER work is if one of ‘em became a high level defender and they both have a long way to go to even become average


Unless we expecting one of them to become prime Kawhi,Duncan or Lebron

 

[Schadenfreude]

I'm genuinely curious how the Cavs are going to play going back to Rocket Mortgage, the bigs and Mitchell in particular.

Mitchell needs a Prime Gary Payton type if he's going to win big with a small backcourt.

Just imagine Brunson and Mitchell in NY. shyt would have been brutal.

Rocket Mortgage? No wonder why these nikkas are pitiful.
