Cavs Survive Game 7. Mobley and Allen Can't Play Together.

Day 17

Record: 22-26

We quit the Cavs-Raptors game during the third quarter after it became obvious that the 13 first-half turnovers by the Cavs were something that signaled how the score being tied in that time frame was not something sustainable. Rowan Barrett failed the three-metric offensive counting rubric. His handle is too high and when he starts making a dribble move, he doesn’t see anyone besides the ground and the guy defending him. So he’s a bad passer and a bad dribbler. His shot is bad, too. How Rowan is the son of a coach is a testament to the incompetence of Canada Basketball.

Biggest takeaway from this game is that the Cavs have been trying to tell themselves that Jarrett “Wormtongue” Allen and Evan “King Theoden” Mobley can play together. They can’t. Cleveland has been wasting a lot of time trying to “save face” and not incriminate their front-office for trying to make that pairing work. King Theoden was abhorrent in that Game 7 and he doesn’t capitalize on having Little Game James as a teammate which is his problem, not Little Game James. Go talk to Clint Capela about that.

The Cavs blew this game open when Wormtongue was on the court and King Theoden was on the bench. Hey, Dan Gilbert, your “general manager” is lying to you when he’s presenting powerpoints in team leadership meetings about the viability of Wormtongue and King Theoden playing together. The emperor has no clothes.

KNICKS 👖 (-7.5) over Sixers 🔔

- We’re fading the team coming off of a game 7. We don’t know whether or not we’re watching this game or the other game. Probably this game. No promises.

SPURS 🤠 (-13.5) over Timberwolves 🐺

- We said that we’re going to watch every Spurs game but then we watched Ebola Embiid win a Game 7 and now we aren’t sure about the universe. But yeah, the Timberwolves are in for a rude awakening against this legitimate team in San Antonio. They are not on the verge of bankrupcy.
