Cavs have been down 3-1 before and look what happened. I’m not giving up on this team. However the effort isn’t there. Mobley and Allen shouldn’t be shown up by some random named Mitchell Robinson who nobody will remember in 5 years. Anyway if the Knicks do win the series all I can say is congrats to a team that hasn’t won a title since the 70’s and definitely won’t win one this year. In fairness, Cavs had LBJ, Kylie, Love, and Draymond was suspended Game 5 Kylie. Lol

What a pathetic end to the season. Allen finished with 4 points and 4 rebounds. Mobley finished with 6 points. Some moves definitely need to be made this off-season if they want to contend in the East.

Eh Knicks haven’t won a title in 50 years but their fans sure act like they just won the finals. At Least I’ve seen my team win a title unlike most of their fans that root for that poverty franchise.

Many times, the things he does doesn't show up in stat sheet

What really hurts is that Miami knocked off Milwaukee, which means Cleveland would've had a legit chance to reach the Eastern Conference finals, and gain some valuable playoff experience for the younger guys. Instead, the franchise is left looking at the future of their head coach and questioning a few guys who many thought were cornerstones of the team.

Instead, the franchise is left looking at the future of their head coach and questioning a few guys who many thought were cornerstones of the team. No doubt. Before, and even during most of the season, I felt like Garland, Mobley, Allen, and Mitchell were basically untouchable. Now not so much, specifically Allen. And it wasn’t just the playoffs with him, the whole last month or so of the season it felt like he wasn’t making any impact on the court. Rubio can also go, he brings nothing. And then guys like Osman, Okoro, Levert they all have their awesome moments throughout the season but feels like we can get better pieces than them.,

And then guys like Osman, Okoro, Levert they all have their awesome moments throughout the season but feels like we can get better pieces than them., Is Allen hurt and we just don't know it? Everybody has a bad game, totally understandable. But to get pushed around the entire series by Mitchell Robinson is inexcusable. He didn't even put up a fight. Robinson was laughing at him last night in the 4th quarter and just shaking his head. He basically challenged your manhood, and Allen's response was to just put his head down and run upcourt. Mobley got exposed as well, he has to get stronger over the summer. Hell, even Donovan Mitchell shied away from the moment. I've seen others calling for JB's removal, but I don't think that will happen. If you fire him, who is the replacement? I know Nick Nurse is out there, but I've head some national guys saying he's looking for a bigger job than Cleveland. That being said, we all know that Dan Gilbert isn't the most patient man in the world. And as you mentioned, the bench needs to be re-worked as well.

Nick Nurse is available but I don't think he is someone you want. Was only good with Kawhi and the Raptors players post Kawhi didn't seem to like him reports have stated. My worry now is when the Cavs traded for Donovan giving up all those assets and players you sped up your contention window. Next year becomes very critical because if you lay a stinker in the playoffs again you then have a decision to make next off season. Do you trade Mitchell or let him walk for nothing? Because he only has two more years left on his deal and we all know how abruptly things can end in the NBA with superstars. And he is a NY kid and has said multiple times on the podium he thought he was going to NY. Just something to think about, they're a young team but Mitchell may not be here for the long haul and that would really suck after what they gave up. Next year is now a MASSIVE year for the Cavs they have to have post season success.

Hopefully the young players will REALLY want to get better after this series (and they are all young). I think they will run it back with the core four and try to add where they can. I was surprised that Jalen Brunson was so much better than Garland and Mitchell (at least in this series).
