#Cavs Jarrett Allen said the hardest lesson was losing: “We all know the elephant in the room – the tyrannosaurus rex in the room – is the damn offensive rebounds. It’s just something that we felt like we could have done better. We could have gave a little more effort in.” – 12:15 PM

The #Cavs were out-rebounded and out-played all series long against the Knicks, and now they’re out of the playoffs. Jarrett Allen wasn’t good enough, and neither was Donovan Mitchell. thelandondemand.com/news/2023/apr/… – 1:59 AM

Mitchell Robinson had 11 offensive rebounds, Jarrett Allen 2 defensive rebounds. What the heck? – 9:32 PM

Jarrett Allen must be hoping the first shot the Knicks take just goes in at this point. – 9:15 PM

Looking like Thibs is planning to close with RJ at the 4. Is JB going to put LeVert at the 4 and close without Jarrett Allen? – 9:12 PM

The 2018-19 Nets core of D’Angelo Russell, Caris LeVert, Spencer Dinwiddie, Joe Harris, and Jarrett Allen has not aged the best.
A few serviceable role players between them. Just another reminder that stars run the NBA. – 9:07 PM

Lamar Stevens checking in for his first real minutes of the series. He replaces Jarrett Allen. #Cavs are down 16 with 7:08 left in the third quarter. – 8:27 PM

Feels like the Cavs’ defensive strategies in this series have Jarrett Allen all discombobulated. They’re going from Game 4 where he’s heavy helping over to the Brunson side off of MitchRob to now where he’s staying home.
Just doesn’t do anything here, plus gives up the O-Reb. pic.twitter.com/9w7g2HzZUQ – 7:57 PM

I remember when there were debates about who was the best center in New York, Mitchell Robinson or Jarrett Allen.
That debate is retroactively settled. – 7:38 PM

Jarrett Allen just took a push shot when he had RJ Barrett between him and the basket. – 7:17 PM

I’m mildly shocked at how easily Mitchell Robinson has outplayed Jarrett Allen. Going into the series, I didn’t see a NY advantage at center. Heck, even Isaiah Hartenstein has outplayed JA – 7:10 PM

Jarrett Allen is already having a tough time with Mitchell Robinson again. Has his shot blocked on one end and then gives up two offensive rebounds before Robinson goes to the line and splits a pair. #Cavs trail 10-7. – 7:09 PM

Chris Fedor: #Cavs Jarrett Allen called the offensive rebounds the “tyrannosaurus rex in the room.” “We know we’re ultimately judged by the playoffs. We’re ultimately judged by how we’re doing on the biggest stage. I didn’t play to my ultimate form on the biggest stage” -via Twitter @ChrisFedor / April 27, 2023
Danny Cunningham: Jarrett Allen on how much blame he shoulders for the Knicks rebounding success: “Quite a bit. That’s my job to get rebounds. That’s my job to box people out.” -via Twitter @RealDCunningham / April 27, 2023
Danny Cunningham: #Cavs big man Jarrett Allen on what’s gone wrong against the Knicks: “Just getting back to how we are as a team. I think we’ve gotten away from that in this series. I think we were a little rattled but as long as we calm down and do our thing, I think we’ll be good.” -via Twitter @RealDCunningham / April 26, 2023
