It's time to get serious about Timofey Mozgov. He was the hero we needed last night. Not the one we wanted. But the one we deserved.
For those who missed the Bulls vs. Cavs game from last night, Cleveland won in a blowout, securing their third straight victory. The final tally was 108-94 but for long stretches the Cavs led by more than 20 points.
A big chunk of their success can be credited to their recent acquisitions and a renewed energy level from Mr. LeBron James.
And there is certainly credit to be doled out here, but let's start with the important one:
the Father, the Son, the Holy fucking Ghost, Timofey MozGod.
Last night's final stat line for the MozGod: 15 points, 15 rebounds, 1 steal, 2 blocks.
But his presence was more than that.
