The Cleveland Cavaliers have the personnel to match up against almost any team in the league.
There have been some legitimate concerns about their twin towers, as they don’t provide the team with the offensive spacing it needs.
On defense, however, it’s tough to get past both Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen when the perimeter players funnel their opposition to them.
Nevertheless, even they can struggle against some of the best.
That’s the case with Nikola Jokic.
In a recent interview for “The Young Man And The Three,” Jarrett Allen admitted to being helpless against Jokic at times, knowing that even though he tried his best to stop him, he might still find someone with one of his passes.

There should be no shame in feeling helpless against someone like Jokic, who some people deem the best player in the league.
Opposing teams have taken a “pick your poison” approach against him in the playoffs.
There’s no way to stop him from scoring and getting everybody involved, so some choose to make him a passer, and others elect to let him score.
Whatever the case, the Cavaliers look like a championship-caliber team.
So, even though it’s still early in the season and there’s a long way to the top, they need to think about potential postseason matchups, even against potential NBA Finals opposition.
If that’s the case, Cavs fans can only hope that Allen and Mobley figure something out against Jokic by then.
