Evan Mobley. Don’t be fooled by Harden and Mitchell. If the Cavaliers are to make noise in the playoffs they better use the only superior advantage they have. Play big through Mobley and Allen. If Harden and Mitchell are taking 20+ shots a game they are out in the second round easily.

Come olayoff time - you got to either make them play a game they are uncomfortable with or just plain out-talent them.

You can get lucky and steal a game or 2 - but 7 game series - the talent will always shine through. The way to overcome a talent gap is make the opposition play a different style/tempo than what they are comfortable with.

Nobody plays big boy basketball anymore. Mobley and Allen could be Twin Towers in the East. The Cavs could dictate play just by keeping them on the floor together.

I’m a Cavs fan

Would be thrilled if they got to ECF

Feels like second round exit

Boston would neutralize Harden and Mitchell with JT and JB on both ends. Boston has nothing for Mobley but a bunch of stiffs. Of course that would require a coaching mindset of how to run the offense instead of that perimeter BS that the Cavs are running now that starts and ends 5 feet behind the 3 point line
