Mozgov Strategy???

[Mannyfan]

Can someone from states please explain the reason Cavs coach does not play him in 4th quarter? He gives away games it seems. No interior defense down the stretch and he is better free throw shooter than his replacement? Watched replay of game with friends and one said "Cavs coach has bet on other side!"

I think because GSW played small ball, and Mogzov was too slow.

This was what I was going to say, it was a match-up issue. Plus Mozgov has low % FT and GS was in foul mode.

Mozgov can't guard perimeter players.

yes, this is it.. also why he's not playing Perkins when Mos is out..
Golden State is a jump shooting team. you need guys who can cover perimeter
not the paint because they rarely go in the paint.

They rarely go in the paint except against the cavs defense.

Mozgov is a very good FT shooter, wtf are you talking about?

He was missing them last night but dude is a much better FT shooter than Thompson

77% in playoffs, and over 70% in reg season. Thompson 58%, how are we even comparing that clown to Mozgov???

Thompson might have the ugliest FT form in the league, even DeAndre's isn't that bad. Dude turned down 4/52 (13 per) in the offseason, anybody giving this guy 16-17 mil a year will quickly regret it. Great rebounder and that's about it.
