Former Cavs player Danny Green says it's been an issue dating back to when he was with the team
"they got bullied by Mitchell Robinson in the Knicks series and teams and know they can bully them, it seems to be more of a character issue than a coaching issue. they gotta get some dogs or bring the dog out out of them"
Danny Green says Cavs "Have been lacking toughness"

The shoe fits. I don’t think it’s coaching. I think JA and Mobley have the size just not the enforcer mentality.
Duh.. bunch a p word azz b’s… Cept Donny
Sure the Cavs have some questions on if they can be physical but did they watch the game? Cavs played tough last night and on top of that the rockets are averaging +12 on the boards a night. Does that make everyone else they’ve played soft too?
Obviously lol
Yes being tough and strong and enforcer like will make us hit our wide open 3s and free throws we keep missing. I don’t think these “analysts” actually watch the games to see why we are actually losing . Nor do they care we always have 3 or 4 guys out the lineup
Yep been our problem for a while
Hasn’t this been our problem for the last 3 years ??
They stayed in the game pretty well for not having half the starting lineup though. It could’ve been a complete blowout and they would’ve had the injury excuse but they kept it fairly competitive
Yep. JA and Mobley are just… not tough. Too ethical
Can we fucking stop this shit? Last time I checked they’ve been playing without 40% of their starting lineup.
I’ll take a “slow start” for full health in the playoffs
If we could swap JA for Isaiah Stewart I honestly think we beat OKC in the finals in 6
Eh.
Cavs the only team whose toughness gets questioned during a random game in November down 4 rotation players including 2 starters lmaoooo.
Talk show the long way
We’ve earned the reputation for being soft. We’re soft until such time as we prove we are not soft.
They have. The bench has more toughness than the starters do.
Dude no shit. We’ve had a roster of dudes who crumble when they play guys who are physical. Altman keeping this two big lineup together this long, when they REPEATEDLY show they cant be a bruiser type of player, is pure ignorance. Nobody fears this team. Every opponent knows the Cavs kryptonite…just play physical and we shut the fuck down. No bark or bite with this group.
It wasn’t JB after all
It’s been our issue for the past 3 years.
