Yes it was, nice team win and I think Kidd told him to chill on the calls. Composed. SGA was terrific as well and let down by his squad

For someone who is as tall and as long as Chet, he needs to rebound the ball much more.

Height isn't nearly as important as strength/positioning in rebounding and he weighs like 185lbs soaking wet. He's too easy to push off spots at this stage in his career.

Forever unclutch Luka Doncic with a great game 5 win to take back the series.

OKC's still too young and inexperienced for the spotlight. '22 Grizz.

davidantx · 05-15-2024, 11:28 PM

True, and Dallas is also the best team in the NBA the last couple of months.

13 and 14 year old kids. Why watch a game when you can just form an opinion based on what youtubers tell you.

Jokic can't jump. There I said it. (doesn't have to)

The positive thing about this game is that a few guys got to show what they are:

-Mobley showed that he has the potential to be a guy you can count on to be an offensive top 1 or 2 centerpiece for a team. I don't see him as a 30 ppg guy, but an efficient 20-25 with some assists are very possible if you decide to make him a top option

-Garland showed that his game is running an offense as a distributor and not as a lead scorer. It's no coincidence that Mobley went off with him running the offense. That being said, his shot's been shaky this year and he may just be too small to consistently own the paint.

Cavs got a ton of decisions to make this summer... Beyond the LeBron rumors, which they don't control, the decision really is around how much you are willing to lean into Mobley. Does the team run it back, build around Mitchell/Allen, build around Garland/Mobley, or find a watch to get Mitchell to change his game to include Mobley more.

Mitchell is gone to the Nets. It's already in the books... this time :P

Talk about a downgrade for Donovan.

I know the prospect of Fossil going back to Cle really isn't a popular notion in many locals' minds, but I'd be lying if I said the fit wouldn't be great. They need an alpha to impose their physicality in critical stretches, and he's shown this year that he's willing to defer in terms of offensive setting duties.

ninjacookies · 05-16-2024, 08:23 PM

The hell is alpaca doing.

Denverites laying bricks for tots. True philanthropists.

Touching.

Nomad · 05-16-2024, 08:51 PM

It's on one of those unwatchable networks. Good job NBA, pushing NBA.com subscribers into pirating. Next negotiation use your clout and get anyone who signs a contract on board with the Overtime format. Can still place tear-iffic ads relevant to networks.

Because they know these comparisons are moronic.

He would see

Shaq 4 titles
Tim Duncan 5 titles

And know he's a fair ways off
