I had to get in my clickbait bag for the title but they were legit shocked. You can find it at 1:04:30 [here](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/most-exciting-round-1-playoff-matchups/id293376147?i=1000608926365):
> Cleveland ranked first in defensive efficiency, but they’re 23rd in three point defense. The Knicks love to drive and kick. That is their bread and butter. They ranked in the top 10 on threes that came off kick-out passes. The Cavs ranked 29th in defense on threes that came off a kick-out pass and that was roughly 41%. When Allen and Mobley were on the court together, that was 45% they were giving up on threes.
> I’m all for them trying to protect the paint all day, but that almost gave me weird vibes of is this like a Bucks thing that they went through a couple times where teams just drained threes and that’s how they got eliminated? I think it’s tough for Allen and Mobley to both rotate like that and teams just drain threes against them.
Tim MacMahon chimed in with these PBP stats:
> Allen on, Mobley on: 111.7 defensive rating, 38.6% opponent three point shooting
> Mobley on, Allen off: 110.8, 38.5%
> Allen on, Mobley off: 109.5, 33.5%

This speaks even more to how important Julius will be, if he can hit those threes on a high volume it’s gonna make Mobley’s life hell
