NBA Season/Playoffs 2025-26

[Who]

Has Mobley even scored in the 2nd half?

They were all talking him up in the 1st half. A couple of spot up 3s and a few drives. I don't think he has scored since.

Not sure Harden or J Allen have done much either.

Edit: Harden has 1 three pointer early in Q4. J Allen has tipped in a miss and got a dunk shot off pass from Mobley. 4pts for J Allen in 2nd half. Mobley has not scored at all.

D Mitchell is the only guy doing anything for CLE on offense in the 2nd half. He had 7pts at halftime. He has 16pts in the 2nd half thus far. Getting no help though.

Update: Game over. Mobley never scored in 2nd half. Harden had his 3 pointer and a 3pt play in Q4. So he had 6pts in the 2nd half. J Allen had his 4pts in Q3. Combined these 3 guys - the Cavs 2nd, 3rd, 4th best players - combined for 10pts in the 2nd half.

No shows. Invisible.

When Josh Hart is knocking down his outside shots, he looks like an All-Star. Does not matter that he doesn't create much offense. He adds so much to the game with his hustle, defense, rebounding, ball-handling and ball movement. When you add three point shooting to the mix, he has a massive impact on the game.

Great game from Hart.

[Who]

Towns is kicking Mobley's butt.

Dominating the Cavs 2 big men.

Unfortunately it's looking like New York will be in the Finals.

Hopefully OKC or SAS knock them off

The Spurs are going to eat them alive.

[Who]

It is like the Cavs will never run out of ways to choke in a playoff series.

Sad to say but Hart is >>>>>>> D.White

[SparzWizard]

Cavs blew their only chances of winning this series by choking last game. Shattered their morale. They're probably out in 4 or 5

[Donoghus]

Can't see the Cavs winning 4 of 5 at this point.

Sad to say but Hart is >>>>>>> D.White

If DWhite went back to being the fourth option on offense he would be SOOOO much better.

In 2024 it was Tatum, Brown, Porzingis, and then a toss-up between Jrue Holiday and White.

When he forces it, and shoots those horrible catch-and-launch threes (when covered) he's a net-negative offensively. 

He needs to focus on bringing the ball up, initiating the offense, making the great pass, getting the offensive board, tipping loose balls, playing great help defense, making fast-break baskets, and blocking fast-break attempts by the opponent.

I think Cleveland wins both game 3 and game 4. They play a lot better at home and I don't think they just roll over.

The Miami Heat have reportedly made a trade offer to the Milwaukee Bucks to bring superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo to South Beach.

According to veteran NBA reporter Gery Woelfel, the Heat have made a trade offer to the Bucks for Antetokounmpo that includes Tyler Herro, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kel'el Ware, the 13th overall pick in this year's NBA draft, and two future first-round picks.

It remains to be seen if the Bucks will accept this offer, but it's a strong offer, and one that Woelfel says makes the Heat the "odds-on favorite to land Antetokounmpo in a trade."

They gotta to have a shot in this series. I hope they do.

It is not that bad of an offer. Better than I first thought it was.

2 future firsts + this year's first = 3 firsts

K Ware is a young center with potential. He is the equivalent to a late lotto pick. 4 firsts.

J Jaquez could have won 6MoY this season. I thought he was better than Keldon Johnson. I still don't understand that one. Jaquez is worth at least another first. 5 firsts.

Tyler Herro a 20+ppg 5apg sweet shooting combo guard.

For a 32 year old superstar. It is a pretty solid offer.

No blue chip prospect. No All-Star. But a sub All-Star in Herro and a stash of picks / prospects. Unless someone comes in with one of those blue chip prospects (perhaps Amen Thompson) or established All-Stars (ie Jaylen or Sengun if no Amen), that Miami offer will likely be one of the stronger offers out there.

I haven't seen any word on if D Harper or D Fox will play tonight for San Antonio. Last update I saw was they are both "game time decisions".

I hope they play.

San Antonio will be in trouble if they can't. Watching them in that 2nd half after D Harper went down was worrying. The coach trusted no-one outside of 5 guys. They have no other ball-handlers other than Castle that are trustworthy. They can't handle OKC's ball pressure & traps. They have no depth. They need those 2 guys back on the court to win this series.
