Tristan Thompson Starting The Correct Decision

Despite the Cleveland Cavaliers holding a 21-9 record and being atop of the Eastern Conference, one position of the team has been questioned all season and that is the starting center spot.

Timofey Mozgov, the same man who turned the Cavaliers defense around last season, has been a shell of himself through just over two months of the season. Mozgov has dealt with injuries and lack of confidence, which has led to him being a liability on the court at both ends. Mozgov’s hands see many should-be dunks turn into turnovers and the Cavs defense is actually better with Mozgov off the court.
