I said this exact same thing to a friend last night. I knew this was going to turn into an annoying talking point today.

I think it's funny how the fanbase has been on the same page for 15 games. But first loss, random fans come out of the woodwork to say "SEE I TOLD YOU". It's just annoying.

Agreed on Mobley being above his previous level, but I felt his previous level was lower than it should have been. I didn’t like the way JB used him. I told some people this summer that I would have Mobley watch tape on skinny(er) Sixers era Barkley. And that’s how he’s been playing this year.

I think Mitchell and Mobley can sustain where they’re at. I feel like Kenny has Mobley doing exactly what I wanted him to do, so I’m still buying stock on him.

Garland I think can sustain, but I still have a few lingering reservations.

Allen? I’m not sure.

So yeah, if the Cavs win tomorrow, you might as well be ready for the Cavs to be in the Finals. That's my takeaway from this.

5 teams have had a 14-game or longer steak to open a season. 4 of the 5 made the Finals. The only one who didn't, the 03 Mavs, lost in the West Finals.

Of the 14 teams to open a season with a 10-game or longer win streak, only the 65 Celtics, 97 Bulls, and 95 Rockets wokn the Championship, but 10 of the 14 made it to the Finals.

Of the 4 who did not, 2 lost in the first round and the other 2 lost in the Conf Finals.

Now we know why they want recess appointments so badly.
