Why was Blatt scared out of using Mozgov so quickly?
Mozgov just had the game of his career and within minutes of game 5, Blatt got scared out of using him. Warriors made an adjustment, so it makes sense that Blatt needed to as well, but completely taking him out plays right into the Warriors hands. Keep him in and find some other adjustment.

Mozgov as a short leash by David Blatt. Anytime he messes up Blatt will just pull him and play Thompson.

Something put him in the doghouse. He's been playing well whole series.

With the officiating, bad shooting, and lack of depth, the Cavs weren't winning this game anyway.

Because the Cavs can't score well enough with Moz/Thompson out there together to keep pace unless the Warriors are missing shots.
It's not sustainable at all....and Blatt knew this and that is why he made the quick decision.
They have no room on offense and the Warriors will gladly give up Mozgov 2 point attempts.
Did people watch game 4?

He could've been out the instead of Thompson imo. Especially in the third.

Because he's a *****, rookie head coach. Even if the Cavs win the Finals I could see Lebron getting this clown fired. Lebron and the Cavs win games despite of him

Maybe, but Thompson was a beast out there tonight. He was actually finishing around the rim..
And Thompson can guard so much better away from the basket and recover because he's quicker... it makes those pick and rolls much easier to defend

I spoke with Monty McCutchen before the game, informing him of Mozgov's 10/10 FT shooting when stepping over the FT line this series. He told Blatt he'd have to call it, so Blatt sat him.

Very good NBA starter
Re: Why was Blatt scared out of using Mozgov so quickly?
Umm, maybe they lose by 20 last game?!?! Every Mozgov post-up is a bailout for GS and the defense is compromised with 2 bigs out there. Cavs only chance to win this series is with LeBron and 3pt shooters.
Anyone criticizing Blatt for tonight doesn't understand basketball. Notice that GS had a hard time doubling Bron tonight cos the floor was so spaced

I'm not saying go with the same damn strategy, but Blatt got scared out of using Mozgov. Has any coach in Finals history ever sat a player this much after doing so well?
