Are the Cleveland Cavaliers in trouble?
I'm going to just throw the question out for you guys. Whoever wants to take it, go. Are they just coming back down to earth? Is that what's happening?
Well, I know Xena is the Cavs believer here. How do you feel?
I'm not concerned. Okay. I think that every team has to experience these types of losses, get some teach tape, get back on track. The number one thing that happened, particularly in these three losses, is that the Cavs put these teams at the free throw line. I mean, it was insane that the Houston Rockets were able to shoot 45 free throws in one game. Sixers got 27. That is unnatural and also not normal for the Cleveland Cavaliers. It's not natural for any NBA game. 45 free throws is insane. But the Cavaliers are not typically that team. Something was going on with their defense in which they were just a step behind in all of these games. I imagine them to pick it up. I'm not even a Cavs fan, folks.
No, you're not. You're not a Cavs fan. And you know what? I called you a believer, but we're all believers. Yeah, we believe in the Cavs. We all believe in the Cavs. They're a good basketball team. Yeah, absolutely. They're a very good team. And it's expected for them to kind of come down to earth a little bit, given the crazy shooting that started off this year, like they were the number one shooting team in the league. I also think a big part of this, quote unquote, losing streak is not having Evan Mobley for two of those three games. Right. especially their first game against the Rockets, you could feel the physicality of the Rockets kind of battling with them. That probably leads into what you're talking about when it comes to the free throw disparity because they couldn't handle the physicality.
When Mobley came back on Saturday when they played, just didn't look like he was kind of getting back in rhythm, didn't have the most effective game. And I think, man, when teams can throw out size against Houston and their guards, It can be against Cleveland, excuse me, and their guards. It could be a really, really long night. So maybe that's a matchup thing that they have to look forward to, which might poke. It's not a big issue right now because they're a really good team, but something to look forward to for the postseason if they're trying to make that deep run. Yeah. Well, the teams that have bothered them, if you look, it's Houston, Atlanta.
