I know what the last think I’m watching before bed is 🔥
In two minutes we showed a whole city what our franchise DNA is made of🗣🗣🗣
my 53 win prediction is still alive. I cheered every overtime game cause this team just needs more playing time together to get in the zone they need to be in.
MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBLEYYYYY
Cavs. Isaac Okoro!!
I don’t really subscribe to the idea that Darius is ever going to have to take a backseat. The team has been the best this season when he’s on the floor facilitating and being aggressive. Donovan has had worse games than that this season and nobody has the reaction that he’s a bad player. DG is putting up an efficient 22 and 8…he’s the teams offensive engine. Mitchell is a great scorer, but DG is the one that gets everyone involved and feasts on the defensive breakdowns because he’s a very good shooter. You don’t tell your best shooters to stop shooting.
But D.M wanted the ball you can see how he ran towards it after Issac had it,, but again I kept saying all along Issac and Stevenson are the cavs SLEEPERS… they been around for awhile with the Garland Greene era.. im glad Kolby keep this unit together..all they need is playoff experience… keep them boyz together next year for years as well.. they are having fun and enjoying 🏀 .. good to be a cavs fan.. we have fully recovered since the LBJ and Kyrie departure..
I hope this is a confidence booster for Okoro.
I'm with Spencer… When Isaac got that ball, I was like 😒… But I'm glad it went in and I'm hoping he feeds off of it and takes his game to another level. Esp now that the playoffs are coming. Good game… Go Cavs!
Great team play. Allen was able to swat it towards caris, caris gets double teamed and finds okoro. Okoro sinks a wide open triple thans to alen screening the nearest defender. Great stuff in the clutch. Now stop needing to be clutch! 😄
Amazing win. Great effort. But here is my thing. Ben Simmons isn't playing yet. Who knows if he will, or what impact he will have, but there is a chance he comes in and throws a wrench in thinking we will be able to repeat what we did last night.
Logically speaking, the nets only outsize garland. And he had the hardest time scoring. Mitchells wingspan mostly makes up for his height. Both laterally and his standing reach. When they still had kd i was worried about yhe nets possible size matchup. But. as long as the opponent doesnt have a near 7 footer like kd or giannis they can slot at the 3, the size advantage shouldnt be unsurmountable.
The worst match-up for the Cavs might be the Kings. Hope so. Kings in 60s were the Cincinnati Royals with Big O
