Jarrett Allen is no "distant #4 guy," hes in many ways the team MVP. Dude is a walking double double...and his presence in the middle is something so many teams lack. Besides that, is there a nicer guy on this very likeable squad?
Last night proved that the Cavs aren’t a fluke. In previous years they couldn’t beat anyone when DM played that bad. Thunder are legit too though, they played unbelievable.
Indeed, it was kinda pick your poison with the bigs Mobley and Allen as well as Garland chipping in. Also, Strus hitting shots and Ty Jerome contributing as well.
Have to give God tier props to DG on the last bucket. Gets hard pressed and gets the finger roll bucket down the lane for the dagger. If he turns it over and gives up a bucket it's 124 127 and a whole another game. DG's body language and movements radiated confidence. Shout out to Fox for the Allen X factor. 25pts and double digits rebounds, both lead the team.
Probably one of the best games I’ve seen since the 2022 World Cup final obviously it’s just a regular season game but the hype the record and everything that lead up to it made it special. Just gotta keep it going
With the statement win last night, I am fully convinced that the Cavs number 1 priority before the trade deadline is a back-up big. If we are to reach the Finals, we need an agile center to pair with Mobley when Allen is resting.
This game brought back memories of the 71-72 match-up between my then Milwaukee Bucks(Oscar, Kareem, Dandridge, Perry) and Lakers (West Chamberlain, Goodrich, McMillan . Their records were almost identical to us and OKC. In that game, the Bucks dont win without unsung John Blocks contribution and we dont win lastnight without unsung Max Struss! And to boot, they were both games for the ages.
What makes me know that this team is for real is how we imposed our will on the thunder last night with Mitchell struggling and how we imposed our will on the last 10 teams regardless
Y'all crazy. Donovan had a great game! He created, enabled, motivated, and directed. He only took 16 shots, instead of 30 or more. He elevated like he was on a magic carpet. From a higher plane
Not on topic but can someone tell me why a team like the 76ers 5 games under .500 will be on 8 national TV games from now til the Allstar break and the Thunder and Cavs have 2 each? Ridiculous
The difference in this game is what Brian Windhorst mentioned days before this epic matchup. If you search for (FIRST TAKE | Cavs are championship team - Windhorst on Cavaliers beat Mavs) look at what he says at 12:58 into the conversation.
Its funny I've followed the Cavs since the 90s but I'm a football guy. Playoffs and finals are all the NBA I watch. Occasionally I'll catch regular season games when they have a good record. Last year was the first year since Lebron/Ky/love left. Something different. Maybe it's the Browns sucking again this year but this is hitting me as special. Are we watching history? I believe we are. Bet cavs. I've made a little......
Did Dustin really just use a Donovan and lebron comparison. Be quiet 25:55. Lebron is lebron. If he did what Donovan did in that type of game, everyone would have something to say. Bad placement
I mentioned this earlier in the stream, but even though Donovan Mitchell had an off night, the shots he made were CLUTCH.
Facts! They had impact and were timely
he was still attacking but just had to pass... underrated game for Mitchell IMO

What impresses me is how smart he is man
Would not rank him above dmitch, garland and mobley but yeah he is underrated because if you trade him cant get the same value

Thunder defensive plan was to shut down Mitchell.. it worked. They just didn't have an answer for anybody else...
Indeed, it was kinda pick your poison with the bigs Mobley and Allen as well as Garland chipping in. Also, Strus hitting shots and Ty Jerome contributing as well.
yep, they had no answer for Allen and Mobley down low, let's see what happens next week.
@rccollins1456 I think the thunder are going to try and shut down or disrupt our bigs but that will only space the floor for Mitchell and garland
@@FugaroundFindOut yep, and get our shooters some more open 3s
10:11 "It was bully ball, it was bully ball" 😂😭

30 LEAD CHANGES!!
I want that Finals! I think they are very evenly matched teams
Indeed, a Cavs-Thunder Finals would eat and I think that series can go to 7 games

OKC fan here. Looking forward to next week. It was like I said… keep turnovers close and Cleveland will win
The flowers is the Larry O’Brien

Damn ! That's a deep pull!!
Just imagine if we also had Merrill playing and hitting 3s

Love the Dragonball Z references. 😂
Chet Holmgren will be a huge problem.
Always an excuse!😂😂

I love caris as another assist/scoring guy.
I think if the Thunder focused their defense on Mobley instead of Mitchell, they would’ve beat us. Mobley is the biggest x-factor.

The NBA has an agenda

think about how we were missing Jarred Allen the whole playoff series last year and missing Strus the 1st two times we played them this year
Don’t forget about Dean. That’s our 3rd big. I would have loved to see our 4th big Tristan get some work. Players like him get the team fired up.
This team could be all time
It did kill me that a OKC castoff killed us in the 4th quarter (stupid Ty Jerome lol)
Tell Tyvis give max some respect he shat on him last week smh
Facts great game

Ty jerome was so clutch. Everyone was but him especially.
love that guy

against Boston...
If mashed potatoes and blubber had a baby 😅
You win the Internet with that comment 🤣🤣🤣🤣. I see Jaba the Hut
That's not funny at all. Smh
The dorture chamber is real 😂🤣
