I’m also not sure JB is the coach that will take the Cavs to the top of the mountain. Maybe he can, but sometimes the coach that gets the team competitive just isn’t good enough to get them to the ring.

.I think Mobley figured it out … he had been trying to post up … and was getting pushed around by the bigger guys … for last few games he has been using his speed to get around them instead … he is much faster than most of the other bigs …38 pts tonight … if he keeps this up, its going to make the Cavs real tough.

Once again an outsider shooter has a great 3 point evening against the Cavs, this is very much a reoccurring theme this season. Also when the geezer brigade, Love & Rubio, comes in together off the bench the offensive pace slows to a crawl and is becoming a problem, usually bench guys provide a spark but not this group.

Mitchell named as an All Star starter

Collin Sexton, coincidentally, was named brian's Most Valuable Player of All Time award within minutes of Mitchell being named All Star Starter. MVPOAT > lowly All Star Starter, unfortunately. Cavs lost the trade
I would much rather be the Cavs than the Knicks. Much brighter present and future.

Cavs future is not good
I'm sure if the Knicks sucked bad enough to have half a million top 5 picks over the past dozen years their future would look bright too.
They have. They just keep trading away picks, or making the wrong picks. They haven’t done anything since Pat Riley, John Starks and Anthony Mason were there.

Late January loss in NYC to start a road stand following a back-to-back home stand against Golden State and Milwaukee. File this one away in the who cares column, and I bet they had multiple players more interested in hitting the Manhattan clubs and partying than they were in playing this pre all-star break game.

At minimum, he plays more than Collin Sexton.
My main concern about the Cavs is the coach. My gut feeling is JB is a good coach to work with a young team and instill some good things, but that he’s not going to be the coach when this team ever makes real noise in the playoffs. And I’m not calling for him to be fired. How the team plays the rest of the way and in the playoffs will tell us a lot about his long term capabilities. As I said, though, my gut sees him as the Doug Collins before the Phil Jackson.

I tend to agree. All the talent is there, but down the stretch in some of these big games, there seems to be no real direction from JB, especially on the offensive end. They've had some really bad possessions in big situations.

I like that you’ve now started including Lauri in your rants about the trade after realizing how average Sexton is.

I was so pissed he was in the trade.

Word is, yet another star is going to be resting on a visit to Cleveland. Sounds like Ja Morant isn't playing tonight.
Edited: That might have been an unfounded rumor earlier today - at last check, it appears he will be available to play tonight.

They are on the 2nd night of back to backs so still possible he sits or another decent Griz player.

Huge game from Garland. And Mobley keeps getting better every game it seems.
Can’t fault Mitchell for what he did. Dude is fighting a strained groin and gets intentionally hit in the nuts. Justifiably pissed off.
