something was really off with Allen. Credit to NY, of course, but no matter what he does you could usually count on him to at least hustle. H was just lazy on many shots not even trying to box out someone nor going after balls.watching the game at home tonight.
Allen needs to grow a pair and not get his ass kicked by Mitchell Robinson.
Someone beside Mitchell and Garland need to make some outside shots to open up the lane- its one of the major reasons the Cavs have struggled.
The Cavs do not have enough shooting. Knicks are clogging the lane since Mobley does not have a reliable outside shot yet and Allen is pretty much a true center- decent jumper but no one is covering him outside the lane.
I would give Okoro or Stevens run for defense. Okoro is a good defender. They ran with him all year and now are changing it all up. Not a good move by Bickerstaff
I do not even think the Knicks have really played that great- which is kind of a worry in a way. I think the Cavs- outside of game 2- have just played terrible
and oh yah- Mitchell needs to play like the All NBA 1st or 2nd teamer he had been all year.
Cannot put all the blame on him as Mitchell did not shoot like he needs to and the guards were terrible boxing out their guards/wings.
In the forums I go to there was the usual fire JB, trade everyone, etc. but just need to get some shooters and a decent backup big. Could really use guys like Korver and Frye for this team.
Oh well......hats off to the Knicks as they played their asses off and earned it.
