#Cavs trail the Celtics 28-26 after the first quarter. They were pretty bad to start the game, and trailed by as many as 12 points, but were much, much better in the second half of that quarter. De'Andre Hunter leads the Cavs with 8 points, Donovan Mitchell has 5.

The Cavs got crushed in transition last night by the Hawks, which is a troubling trend for a team that ranks in the bottom third in transition defense. Plus, we should learn a lot about the Cavs over the next week and one good thing from last night’s game open.substack.com/pub/theinsid...

Donovan Mitchell had 42 but the Cavs drop to 12-8 on the season.

#Cavs trail the Hawks 97-90 after three quarters. Brutal quarter defensively for Cleveland. Atlanta got whatever it wanted and shot 14 of 21 and had 22 points in the paint.
A much different game than what I expected to see from the Cavs tonight.

With the Cavs being nearly at the 25% mark of the season, I wrote about Evan Mobley’s offensive role, the team’s shot quality, and Darius Garland’s impact.

There has been a conversation about an Eastern Conference team being better without a certain star and I think that conversation is about the wrong team and missing star.

There's been a big conversation #onhere about NBA writers on the road. This season I've been at 16 of the 19 games the Cavs have played.
I'm able to do it because of paying subs to The Inside Shot. If you want more coverage away from home, you can help by signing up below.

Kenny Atkinson said the Cavs didn’t have the juice against the Raptors. Given that they’ve played the most games in the NBA and time off has been infrequent, that’s understandable. What isn’t understandable is Evan Mobley only taking seven shots. open.substack.com/pub/theinsid...
Game Night Observations: No Juice, Resting Time and Nae'Qwan Tomlin's Rise
Cleveland drops to 12-7 on the season after its third loss to Toronto on the year.
