Danny Cunningham: #Cavs dismantle the New York Knicks 142-106 in what is certainly one of their most impressive wins this season. Donovan Mitchell led all scorers with 27 points, Evan Mobley had 21 and the Cavs move to 46-10 on the season and make a pretty big statement that they’re for real.

#Cavs Evan Mobley made a bold claim about one day being the league’s best player. When given a chance to discuss that some more last night, Mobley didn’t backtrack. He doubled down
“If you don’t believe in yourself, then how are you gonna get there?”

#Cavs Evan Mobley knew the comment would go viral and be controversial. He didn’t care. He believed it. When asked again Thursday about one day being the NBA’s best player, Mobley doubled down.
“I have the size, have skillset. Why not believe in that?”

Evan Mobley said at All-Star Weekend that he thinks either he or Wemby will be the best player in the world 5 years from now.
Whether he gets there or not is yet to be seen. But one thing is no certain: He’s got the self confidence required to get there. open.substack.com/pub/theinsides… pic.x.com/6vz6qBrVSD – 8:37 AM

#Cavs were out of sorts and out of sync. It was far from perfection — a term Donovan Mitchell used earlier in the day to describe the team’s pursuit over the next two months. But it was good enough, thanks to a more Cavs-like second half

Evan Mobley was asked at All-Star Weekend who will be the best player in five years. He said himself or Wemby.
Donovan Mitchell was asked what he thought of Mobley’s answer to that question:
“Hell yeah. And on top of that, like if you don’t believe in yourself, who will? You – 11:21 PM

Yeah, Evan Mobley was most certainly not doing anything like that last year. Whew. – 9:36 PM

With Victor Wembanyama being ruled out for the rest of the season after being the heavy, heavy favorite to win Defensive Player of the Year, Evan Mobley might become the odds-on favorite for the award. – 12:50 PM

#Cavs want to get back into top 5 on D. They know that starts with Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley. They also know that means both players, quiet by nature, have to be louder on defense. They are trying creative things behind the scenes to make it happen.

More on this storyline
Danny Cunningham: #Cavs beat Brooklyn 110-97 to move to 45-10 on the season. They looked rusty in the first half but played really well on both ends of the floor in the second half. Donovan Mitchell had 26 points, Evan Mobley had 18 & 13 boards. -via Twitter @RealDCunningham / February 20, 2025
There were a lot of claims thrown around about you and Donovan Mitchell, maybe not being able to work together on the Cavs and splitting you up. You guys have not been able not only been able to make it work, but you guys are thriving off each other. How have you guys been able to do that together? Darius Garland: Conversations, bro. It’s some grown man conversations that’s been taken on. And just watching a lot of film together. Trying to figure out where we can help each other out on the court, trying to find different spots where we can both be aggressive in. I mean, it’s just taken a turn from the last couple years where people saying that we couldn’t play together. And now everybody is saying that we’re the best back court in the league. -via Clutch Points / February 20, 2025
Melissa Rohlin: Donovan Mitchell prefers the East-West format and said the long pause in the final game as the TNT crew was being honored was tough on the players. He added that there’s always fear of an injury with such a long pause in play without properly being able to warm up again. -via Twitter @melissarohlin / February 17, 2025
“Best player in five years? Maybe me or Victor (Wembanyama),” Mobley said. “One of (us).” Speaking about that bold claim for the first time following Thursday’s 110-97 win over the Brooklyn Nets, Mobley didn’t backtrack. He doubled down. “I feel like if you don’t believe in yourself, then how are you going to get there? I just have belief in myself,” Mobley said. “I think I have the capability. I have the size, the stature, the skill set. Why not believe in that?” -via Cleveland Plain Dealer / February 21, 2025
“It’s a copycat league,” one executive said. “You see Cleveland playing two bigs and having success, and other teams are going to try to copy that model. “Things have shifted big-time.” We also have seen a depression in offense across the league. Despite all of the noise about 3-pointers, the average offensive rating is down from last season, and several sources pointed to officiating changes enacted around this time last year having an impact. -via ESPN / February 21, 2025
