75 games into the season and have no idea what to expect from this team. Hope for the best I guess.
Fingers crossed for another win to keep our hopes alive of avoiding the play in.

There's still time to figure it out!

Cavs have been struggling a bit lately, no? They went on a big win streak but then have lost several games. Any intel what's up with them?

Mitchell has been out…he came back Sunday but then sat out again last night.

Can we somehow get Evan Mobley to request a trade to Phoenix mid game I'd really like that.

Although, I don't know why he's not dominating every game with that length and skill.

I don't know what else he should be doing, he's not a shooter, tremendous defender, can play as a connector, I think he's a superb role player.

I think the fit of Mobley with Jarrett Allen is a bit clunky, albeit they are both excellent players in their own right.

I hope the pattern doesn’t repeat. Good game. Bad game. Good game. Bad game.

Yeah, it's a tough pairing on the offensive end to really utilize

Mobley needs to shoot to make it playable

If he could learn to shoot, then he'd be unstoppable.

I don’t know about unstoppable…he’s not Wemby…but it would make him a more stable JJJ

So...do we play down to comp and rack a L or have we turned a corner?

Cavs have a better record, so is that really playing down if they stink it up again?

Cavs are still just a good regular season team. They might've peaked in January when they won something like 19 out of 20. They've really only added Strus to last year's team and Mobley and Allen can help win you games in the more open, up-and-down style of the regular season but got eaten alive by the Knicks frontcourt in the playoffs. I just don't think the two of them can co-exist longterm because of their combined lack of bulk.

Mitchell is banged up and seems to have one foot out the door. Mobley's plateaued a bit, hasn't taken that leap most expected him to take by now. But hell, we struggled with them last game in Cleveland so who knows what'll happen tonight.

I saw a rumor that Mitchell is expected to sign an extension this summer with Cleveland
