The Cavs defense plays best with Mobley isn't on the court because Allen drives their defense. This isn't to say he's bad, but he is not the main reason they are No. 1.
Clutchfans: Nix is fat and a waste of minutes. Gordon is a waste of minutes. I hate seeing KPj handle the ball. The Rockets system is insulting to watch and a waste of Sengun, Jabari and Green's talents. Lowe: Nix is fat and a waste of minutes. Gordon is a waste of minutes. I hate seeing KPj handle the ball. The Rockets system is insulting to watch and a waste of Sengun, Jabari and Green's talents. Clutchfans: HoW cOulD lOwE sAy ThAt??? MeDIa HaTeS hOuStOn!
I don't have any problem with what they're talking about in the podcast. I'm just saying I bet Green will be the best of his draft class, and Lowe has predicted otherwise Called Mobley a superstar in waiting not long ago.
Buddy, I like Zach Lowe. I don't have a problem with their opinions. I don't think they predict things better than many people online on message boards, and you don't have to agree with that. What I have an issue with is you're asking proof for everything on the proof-less basis that they must be great at what they do. We're exchanging opinions here (as are these two podcast hosts) and you've finally acknowledged that there are no facts here and that you can't prove that they are good at projecting things. I didn't rope you into anything, jeez. A prediction is a prediction, they're not doing anything more than making a prediction. You are just amazingly hypnotized by what ESPN is marketing to you, that's all.
I’m only asking for proof because you explicitly claimed HeyPartner has watched more basketball than Lowe and Givony. Prior to that you posited that CF posters have watched more basketball than them combined. That was very strange to me. Again…. This wasn’t a prediction podcast but more of a state of the NBA rookies through ~30% of the season plus some Lakers talk. If having the opinion that Lowe isn’t some hack, has some good guests, has some good NBA connections, and has some good analysis makes me “hypnotized by ESPN” then so be it. Quite frankly I found that laughable and think you are just putting words in my mouth because you’ve misread the situation. The fact that you are stuck on “predictions” is telling.
How on earth would I prove that? I'm telling you I believe that. What I'm telling you is it's silly to ask for proof for something when the crux of your argument has no proof. You weren't applying the same standards to yourself.
Ok I found a clip of Lowe saying Mobley is a superstar in waiting and may end up being better than both Allen and Garland. But nowhere can I find him saying or implying that Mobley will be better than Green. Saying that "Mobley may be better than Allen and Garland" is NOT the same as saying "Mobley will be better than Jalen Green." I think you're attributing a position to Lowe that he has never taken.
Allen played one game in the last 2 weeks and the Cavs' opponents scored under 100 points in every single one of those games he was out. You might want to recheck your numbers. https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/nba-defensive-rating-leaders-this-season Guess who?
