Why doesn't JB post up or run isos for our bigs when they have the matchup in their favor? When Jarrett Allen has Jalen Smith or Brissett guarding him, run a play for Jarrett instead of rush-contested jump shots. Mobley and Allen might not be able to post players up because of their slim build but they both are decent to good iso players vs other teams' bigs. Also will still have Love who is not just a 3PT shooter, he can post up as well. He is not just Not putting the ball in Mobley's hands is doing a disservice to our roster. He should not get points just off offensive rebounds. He can be our primary ball handler in the half-court. He can pass out of the P&R, he can pull up over his defenders, and drive with a strong finisher. Also why JB didn't play Neto? Both Spidaland guards were hurt in this game damn near playing 40 minutes each. Neto is a capable guard who can pass, defend, and is a willing shooter. He needs to know his roster and put players in a position to be successful.
Lamar seems to be a place-holder until Dean Wade comes back. JB doesn't want LeVert in there, he wants someone stronger. He wants to use the bench as leverage to control Cedi. Okoro can't shoot.
These guys spend more time talking about a fifth overall pick bust that is averaging 4.9 pts, 2.1 rbs and less than one assist per game than the kid's parents. Why don't they just ask Isaac Okoro out already. If it's not a layup or dunk, Okoro can't do it. 6'5" players that can't shoot , have a weak handle, are not creative and aren't all-defensive players don't get the time of day unless you are these two goofs who think they are sports commentators. Oh, and the Cavs passed on another 6'5" player to draft Okoro, that Haliburton kid looks good.
I was at this game. Jarett allen looked tired af through the 1st 3 quarters. Mobley got bullied. Not a great game for the bigs. They had success using okoro vs haliburton. Wish they would have stuck with that. Especially at tbe end. Garland passed up an open shot after hurting his wrist.

Does anyone know how long till dean's back?
We need him to start, good shooter big wing 3&d
The defense struggled with CEDI out… Not surprised.
Good to see Evan back, I was worried that Danny was permanent.
We have Cedi Osman, Dean Wade, Lamar Stevens, Isaac Okoro, and Caris LeVert.
Dean and Cedi hit wide-open threes.
Lamar seems to be a place-holder until Dean Wade comes back. JB doesn't want LeVert in there, he wants someone stronger. He wants to use the bench as leverage to control Cedi. Okoro can't shoot.
The third offensive threat should be Mobley with the ball in the mid-range.
I really don’t think the cavs played too bad, the Pacers are just tough and have been scorching from 3. Was an extremely entertaining game

Can we talk about the dunk on Allen.
