Alley-oop Garland is my favourite! Also, look how important Allen is in most of these clips. He’s either making a block to set up the attack or screening for Garland or freeing himself up to receive the pass and slam it home. Would be a big loss for Garland’s outlet play if he was to be traded even with Mobley being the main big man.
there are a lot of special young playmakers coming in the league these days, but even among them darius is cream of the crop. he’s a master manipulator, moving defenders and zipping passes into tight windows that even some 10 assist per game guys couldnt. its a reason the cavs offense looked so stiff whenever he was off the court last year. cavs asked a lot of their guards, the spacing was so wonky despite JB and the bigs trying their best to make room. mitchell is a pretty good passer, but you saw a lot more of his limitations there this year, it was the first time he didnt have multiple shooters around him. 8 assists to 3 turnovers is insane while playing with 3 non shooters, can only imagine what he’d do in a spaced out offence. might be a hot take but DG might already be a top 3 playmaker in the league, even though he didnt touch the assist numbers guys like young/haliburton and harden did, im not sure those guys would match DG’s numbers if they had to share the ball with another all nba caliber guard and work around 3 guys who cant shoot
DG needs to realize he does have a takeover switch - probably only Cav who did show up in play offs for real - he won game 2 - any runs they had were on his back too
