The Non-Jazz NBA Thread in the Jazz Section

The Cavs being the #1 3pt shooting team by % in teh NBA is shocking to me, especially with DG out. Got to expect some of their guys will regress to the mean at some point.
 
Mitchell is playing out of his mind this year. He has to be second in the mvp conversation behind Giannis.

Nah, I'd put Ja above him.

Mitchell playing crazy, but the bigger story is the Cavs shooters. That's why they are overachieving despite DG being out.
 
Mitchell has been incredible. I’m kinda salty.

But I also always wondered how it’d be seeing him in a different uniform, and it really hasn’t been a big deal. Him playing the best ball of his career not with the Jazz is a shame though. We’ll see how it ages. Right now it’s rookie Mitchell hustle/passion with prime Mitchell skills. Jazz never had that player.

How is this the best ball of his career when the bubble series exist?
 
I definitely overestimated how quickly the Wolves would gel. That team is kind of a mess.

D'Lo is definitely one of the much befuddling players in the league. Sometimes you watch him and it's beautiful, but like 60% it's pretty mediocre.
 
Let's wait the play off before deciding if Don is that good or not.......
It will be interesting to see what happens when DG gets back.

I think the Cavs are definitely legit though. Dean Wade (looking like a + version of Niang) has been such a revelation for them. I really worried about their lack of shooting, but Wade has changed that. I expect Caris/Osman to regress considerably from 3, but when DG comes back, they will be able to put out lineups with a lot of shooting.
 
Cavs are hiding Don on the worst player. When DG comes back that will be a bigger issue, but their offense is going to be elite all season I think.

I agree with you. Won't be surprised if Cavs ended 1st or 2nd of the regular season. They have a very well balanced team, a good bench. When DG is back they might be hard to beat. And if Don don't struggle in PO, they might be a very serious contender.

The thing right now is their entire team is shooting lights out. When the shooting regresses we will see what kind of team they are for real. I thought shooting would be a huge issue for them to start the season.

Agree. This is what I currently like a lot for your team. Some night , Lauri, Mike, JC or KO don't shoot well at all. But there is allways some players to stand up and conpensate. We have such a deep team that we do not have to rely on one or two players. This is not the case of the Cavs, If Don, DG shoot not well, they might struggle.
 
Gobert was 4/11 from the field for 9 points tonight. Chris Finch called a couple post-ups for Gobert in crunch time that didn’t end well and Timberwolves fans are pissed.
