Just like with Doc Rivers, nurse needed injuries to happen before relying on the rookies.
McCain and Yabusele should be permanently in the rotation
Also I don't think its much KO does Ricky Council can't. I'm tired of his I never pass the ball schtick. Either way Council can atleast be another athletic player on the court

to be fair, if I was a Cavs fan, I'd be enjoying this. My comment was moreso a reflection on Donovan Mitchell. I don't think a team that has him as the first option is a legitimate contender and he's a great player. I could be wrong though and the East looks cooked with Milwaukee being done.

I used to think that about Mitchell but I've come around that it's possible for him if everything lines up like Dirk in 2011. Mitchell's always been on teams with minimal offensive talent around him but it feels different with Atkinson as the coach for this Cavs team.

Their biggest question mark to me remains the Mobley/Allen front court. Mobley still isn't shooting threes and I don't care how good they look during the regular season; that shyt isn't gonna fly in the playoffs. If Mobley isn't shooting threes, Allen needs to go if they're serious about contending.

Yea, i wouldn't compare the Cavs to the Horford/Teague Hawks.. that's a bit wild... lol

The issue with them is people were already high on them as a dark horse ECFs team 2 years ago but they went on to get completely embarrassed, bullied, and packed up by the Knicks in round 1. A bad look for DMitch especially. Following season they had zero hype and a ton of injuries, made it to round 2 but via a struggle series vs ORL that didn't impress anyone... a bad look for Garland especially.

So now they're in year 3 with the same core and same compiling question marks from the previous 2 years; from Mitchell and Garland both playing well at the same time in the playoffs, to Mobley's role/"potential" in general

Props to Pippen Jr for making the most of his opportunity. He’s been solid.

Probably told mom to sit down and asked dad to shut up about Mike so he can focus.


He's wasted in Memphis. I'd wish a team contending or on the verge of would've picked him up. Just a straight-up winning player.

I have no idea how this Houston team is so dysfunctional. Jabari & Jalen can go immediately.
