If they go the Mobley on Tatum route, he will be in foul trouble all series.

They’re better off using Okoro+help, and keeping Mobley on the court. But what do I know, I’m just an nba coach.

Jarrett might also be out for the entire series.

Should be interesting to see what Joe does. If Mobley is starting at 5 do we try and use Luke’s size off the bench or do we give Tillman a shot? If mobleys athleticism kills both of those guys Queta would seem to be a great matchup. Similar athleticism much longer though.

White should also boo him during the game :lol:

Spoiler:
Just to make it the same as practice and therefore make him comfortable of course.

To be fair, each time the fan bases chant it their options are being eliminated or playing Boston.

Seeing a few more games is nice, although not sure why Miami fans wanted it if they didn't show up for them.

If Mobley is at the 5, Joe can go with Brissett in place of Al.

JT and JB can defend Mobley.

Little known fact - each one of those boos was an individual recording of BK2020.

That Cavs-Magic series was probably the most unremarkable 7-game series I can remember watching. The Cavs are bad. But then again they got Celtics-killers Strus and Levert. This should be over in 5. If it reaches 7, we're not good enough for the ECF opponent.

Mobley has bad hands and is afraid to go up. Physical game at the 5 doesn't suit him. Without Allen they are cooked, Kornet would start for them tomorrow.

Imagine having to give Tristan Thompson and MORRIS playoff minutes in 2024. Al might drop 30 this series.

Full circle series. The last time Cs faced the Cavs in the playoffs, Mook was still playing for the good guys. We just need to bring back Aron Baynes.
