Levert looked great off the bench tonight.
Ball movement has been the theme of the Atkinson era
Mobley continues to impress
Jokic is incredible.
This team is so much fun

It amazes me that Jokic doesn’t win MVP every year. Triple double watch after 1 quarter 😂

Quick #Cavs thoughts
-The Wizards are really really bad
-I thought the defense was really good esp in the 1st half
-Mobley continues to impress this season. Love when he’s aggressive early.
-Dean Wade returns!
-Does anyone know when Strus is coming back?

A lot of thoughts on the @cavs recent losses:
- The teams greatest superpower is the bench. When they play awful we struggle huge.
- the last few years the team has struggled on with giving up offensive rebounds. These two losses exposed that.
- Dean Wade is missed dearly.

At what cost are we forcing athletes to “perform” like products in a factory?
In my research, I focus on helping athletes, coaches, and parents shift this paradigm. True growth happens when athletes are seen as whole people, not just players.
