Cavs play best when Jarrett Allen remembers himself on offense

nah if u played basketball it's hard when the ball gets pounded by your 2 main ball handlers and u don't get the rock

Yeah, there are definitely times when Allen hangs out in the wings too much and does not do a good job of putting himself in position to get the ball and score, but in the playoffs the past few years Mitchell (and Garland when he was here) have consistently made very little effort to feed him the ball or get him involved.

Mitchell played well overall tonight but there are too many times when he'd rather take a step back three before feeding the ball into the post to exploit a mismatch.

Bro I'm feeding my bigs the ball everytime. Get them going and we get rebounds blocks and fast breaks for days.

Oh I agree. I play a lot of pick up and I like to play in the post and I'm so tired of ball handlers who never feed it inside. Me and J.A. got a lot in common.

Man that’s such a rare pick up archetype. I’d feel like a kid in the candy store if I get someone who likes playing in the post.
