Cavs face their really true competition on Friday when they face the 7-1 Warriors. A win there will remove most of the doubts about the team.

Several months ago I put him on ignore.Are you familiar with Brian?
And miss all the fun? He's the only thing that's predictable in the sports world these days.

The new offense which emphasizes movement and pace is much better than the old offense which consisted of getting a defensive stop then coming up the court turning into statues for 18 seconds then hoping Michell bails you out,
And playing the starters until they drop.

Yes, but winning @ New York, beating the Lakers, and beating Milwaukee twice is significant. This one game will not give me doubts should they lose. Even all-time great NBA teams lose 20 times in a season.
I agree mostly … for example if the play a competitive game and say Curry goes unconscious at the end to pull out a GS win … that happens no big deal … but if they look out classed from start to finish (which I doubt) … then I could have some concerns

Cavs in the process of running the Warriors off the court. 48-24 early in the second quarter. I hope that I didn't just jinx them.
Don’t worry we still have brian to come on here a criticize if they start to get close … and that will get them back going … he is our secret weapon!

Yes. That first half was about the most remarkable half of basketball I've seen.

What a statement win from start to finish. Shocker a certain poster is MIA.
Anyone who wanted to trade or not re-sign Mobley was wrong. To me, he and Mitchell were…and are…the keepers. Allen and Garland were tradable, but only if the trade bettered the team. Nobody offered a worthwhile deal and now we have what also intrigued many of us…what the Core 4 could do under a new coach. So far, so good.

Cavs, down by 12 at the start of the fourth quarter, come roaring back with a 35 point quarter for win #11. Leading scorer for the Cavs with 23 points was Mobley, yes indeed, Mobley.
Don’t trade any of them! I was wrong about Mobley, but many others are wrong about Allen & Garland … I guess Koby Altman knew more than all of us … and did anyone is Ty Jerome coming? … he reminds me a what Ricky Rubio gave the Cavs a few seasons ago.

shocking brian is MIA yet again
They aren’t going to trade any of them now. They are going to see what Atkinson can do with them this year.

And the closing block as well as 16 rebounds. Big game from Mobley.

Jerome has been awesome.

Just think of all of the free time the Cavs success has opened up for Brian.
He'll be back when they lose and he thinks his special brand of criticism juju will help the team.

You can’t teach what Mobley does on defense. He has an innate ability to block shots without fouling, much like Larry Nance and Hot Rod Williams from the past.

Apparently all that was needed to unlock the potential of the roster was a coaching change.
So far, but NBA success is almost solely judged by playoff performance. I’m going to enjoy watching the growth during the regular season, but I know the final judgment of the season won’t occur until summer.
