It's time for the 1st annual Fear the 'Fro Cavs Consensus Survey!
I want to gauge where we're at as a fanbase, PRIOR to the season.

Here lies the cold, dead corpse of a terrible Evan Mobley take that wasn't even a month old.

Just to be clear, anyone saying "Jarrett Allen fouled Miles Bridges on the final play", needs to simply listen to the Hornets own announcers here. Jarrett Allen's all-star understudy attempted to hook Allen into a bailout call and failed.

Last year the Knicks MURDERED the Cavs on the offensive glass. The most they had in any playoff game was 17 (3x).
Tonight the Knicks ripped down 23 offensive rebounds against a team with Joel Embiid on it.

This is a great sizzle reel, but non-Franz ORL is 18/58 (31%) with 14 TO's against Evan, including
Paolo 7/25 with 6 TO
WCJ is 0/6
Cole is 1/6
Franz is 10/14. But here's all Franz makes with Ev oncourt. I tallied anything that they may have credited as Evan being the defender.

This is what I love about Justin. He sees the hot takes are out there. And rather than singling them out and getting drawn into the muck with the rest of us pigs, he responds broadly, with cold, emotionless data.
I think this is the part I’m going to miss about him the most.
Cavs offense since Mobley went out: 119.5 ORTG
Last year's starters of Garland, Mitchell, Okoro, Mobley and Allen: 121.6.
Mobley and Allen typically play 16-18 min together. Meaning you'll have 30+ min of 4 out ball. Starters should be more dynamic too with Max in for Okoro.

Jarrett Allen played 81 games this year, for what it’s worth. And he mauled his matchups in the playoffs pre-injury.
The idea there is a teammate(s) who would question his willingness to do what was needed for team is absurd.

I’m begging you… do not let this nonsense spread. Of the 10 baskets Franz scored against Evan…
1 - 3-pointer
4 - successful ISOs (3 good contests and one embarrassing blow by)
5 - buckets where Evan tries to help (often from behind) when Franz beats OTHER Cavs

BIG fan of Jaylon Tyson. Good long term hedge for the "trade Caris" advocates. Thrived offball at Tech, on ball at Cal. Can create his own looks with the second unit and battles on D. Not super tall, but wingspan is as big as Furphy's so I don't think you should feel bad.

We’ve gone from 19 to 51 wins, never a step backwards, traded for 3 all-stars (two of whom, in Allen and Lauri, cost virtually nothing) and hit on at least 4 of the 5 lottos in Sexton, DG, Ev, Ochai, and Okoro.
But yeah, fire Koby cause he didn’t indulge your temper tantrum.

Nearly 1/4 way through the season, Jarrett Allen leads the entire NBA in TS% at 71.8% (>= 25mpg)

For me, Dean and Okoro have played their way out of being consolidation candidates.
We’re NEVER fully healthy. Worrying about reduced roles is a “problem” I long for. Embrace being on the good end of optionality.
Less is not more. Less is the Knicks series. Depth is good.

Final: Cavaliers 118, Celtics 94
A dominant second half from Cleveland evens this series at a game apiece behind another strong performance from Donovan Mitchell.

Darius Garland made some HEROIC threes in the fourth.
He and Sam NEARLY prevented that loss. But down 6, with a 1:30 remaining, these final 2 possessions have to be eliminated.
The Knicks shot 7/10 on 3's where DG was defending. Some were forgivable. Many were bad closes.

I don’t totally get the love affair with Cam Johnson. He’s a good player, but he’s paid a borderline premium (26 mil next year *but decreasing ongoing * ) for being a good role player.
I’m not moving heaven and earth to pick at that Nets carcass.

The appropriate way to assess the “value” of Allen’s deal is to look at it as a percentage of the expected cap moving forward. Those numbers:
2024: 14.2%
2025: 12.9%
2026: 16.5%
2027: 16.2%
2028: 15.8%
16.5% (the high point) would rank 72nd this season.

This trade offer is far too strong. Water it down Koby.
The Cavaliers could have a strong trade offer on the table for Dorian Finney-Smith that includes Isaac Okoro (S&T) and multiple second-round draft picks.
As the Nets enter a rebuild, there’s a high chance that Brooklyn deals Finney-Smith to the highest bidder this offseason.
