Has Mozgov become the x-factor for CLE/What's reasonable to expect from him?

Like dude hasn't had actual positive contributions to this squad since this time last year. But pretty much every person familiar with mozgov and golden state's current team realizes that they're gonna need some big big to clamp down that rim.

I believe Cleveland should come out with a Kyrie, Shump, Bron, TT, and Mozgov lineup very frequently. A very similar lineup to OKC's massive lineup in terms of strength, although they do sacrifice some length.

Dude done fell out of the rotation you would think with him being a free agent he'd play hard but shyt he can also go back to Russia and make big bank.

If he could play like last year he will feast. I'd try this lineup myself if I was Lue.

that lineup is a death sentence offensively

and Thompson/Mosgov isn't similar to Ibaka/Kanter & Adams because Kanter/Ibaka can consistently make jumpers when open

Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
He's not an X-factor, but they should give him some minutes against Ezeli, they're going to be asking a lot of Tristan Thompson and he's gonna need some breaks, pair Mozgov with Frye.


The Cavs don't want to use two big lineups like that because it kills their spacing, they want a 4 or 5 man that can hit the three on the floor at all times.

Mosgov had a knee surgery over the summer....ain't been the same since

They need rim protection bad too...Mosgov from last year would've helped alot. But he's trash this year

Kyrie

Shump
JR
Bron

When GS goes small, this is how i'd counter


I'd be the coach of the fukking year in the national basketballs associations

uhm, Frye ? man id never take the dude off the floor if i could help. dude a straight up sniper, and no one can bother his shot

i wish JR could actually put the ball on the floor. the cavs would be unguardable
