We got a huge break with their bigs out and obviously it’s a whole different game if they play, but I was glad to see us play with force and take it right at them most of the night.

Cavs 32-22 after the win. Great games by Garland, Mobley, Allen, Cedi, and Rubio.

Yeah I do, he had a higher usage rating coming off the bench then any point in his career as a starting PG at 31 years old.

So what does that have to doc with the minutes he played tonight?

No, but Mitchell does.

If the Cavs are very lucky, Stevens is trade filler.

You can do this with every game of the year for every team.

The Cavs pushed back for once and won. They never do that. Hope they figured something out.

We’ve got a ton of “trade filler”. What we don’t have are tradeable assets.

Ok maybe LeVert is a halfass-et.

Memphis was at full strength and we were missing Mitchell when we lost by one. We had a bunch of people saying “no moral victories.” “A loss is a loss.”

Ok, then a win is a win.

Exactly.

And Cavs were mostly missing Mitchell again and mopped the floor with them.

Very happy with that performance. They did what they were supposed to do.

Highlight of my week so far.

1. DG's game is very mental - good in this case, and disconcerting at other times, but he can THAT guy and needs to unlock it more consistently. Can't just be circumstantial.
2. This game should provide a lot of clarity regarding the rotation minus Stevens. Make a move for that 9th spot and focus on how to maximize Garland and Mitchell's synergy with the rest of the squad from here on out - but let Spida get healthy first.
3. This is probably the baseline for where the bench needs to contribute each night, whether it's from two guys like Rubio and Cedi tonight, or collectively.
4. Willing to sacrifice at least player each game to get punched in the dick if it makes the guys get angry.

Individual Stats:

Starters:
Okoro 12-3-2 with 3 steals in 29 minutes
Mobley 17-14-5 with a steal and 2 blocks in 33 minutes
Allen 18-11-4 with 2 steals and 2 blocks in 38 minutes
Mitchell 6-4-3 with a steal and a block in 22 minutes before his ejection. But he galvanized the team by throwing the ball at Brooks and we dominated them after that.
Garland 32-2-11 in 33 minutes Efficient and productive, he lead our team and made us win. 11-19 fg, 4-6 from 3

Just great work from the starters

Bench 43-7-8 Outstanding production
Wade 5-2-0 with a steal in 17 minutes
Rubio 13-2-4 with 2 steals and a block in 21 minutes. His best game of the year 3-6 from 3.
Osman 21-0-4 with 2 steals and a block in 32 minutes
Stevens 4-3-0 in 13 minutes
Neto 0-0-0 in 2 minutes

I saw the same habits from JBB and the team during that stretch. And as Rubio recovers more, I'm expecting them to start riding him harder and harder like that. Especially if Mitchell and LeVert both miss alot of games.
