After absolutely dominating the first half, looking about as good as an NBA team can look in a season opener on the road in the first half of basketball.
But that first half, because we're going to get into the other shit, that first half, It was beautiful basketball, man, and that's why I was so excited about this team coming into the season.
First of all, the bench looked like the bench that we were screaming about that wasn't going to be a weakness.
Our bench pieces, especially Tyson and Hazonia, playing great defense, locking up LeBron and Jalen Brown, even Tyrese Maxey on switches.
Hazonia was playing super aggressive on the offensive end, taking advantage of getting Mitch matches, switched on to Maxie.
I was feeling so good, thinking like, Man, I'm so glad I highlighted how Jared Allen and Evan Mobley could be the key to this game and should both have opportunity to have huge games.
Mobley dropped 15 in the first half to go along with, I think, six or seven rebounds and two assists.
Had like one or two rebounds in the second half and three points in the second half.
Jared Allen had 14-5 at halftime, balling out, controlling the paint, dragging Joel Embiid up and down the court.
Don B and Don dropped a 22-piece super-efficient in the first half, and it was just all Cavs, and it was beautiful Cavs basketball.
