Game 77: Cavs @ Hawks 3/28/2023
No Okoro in the starting line-up no iron man. Starting line-up gives some credence to JB resting down the stretch unless those guys are both really injured (I know Okoro may actually be).

Love to see Diakite getting minutes!

Murray is on fire. None of these are easy shots

Look, I understand the overturn on the Rubio's attempt at flopping, but I've been been facepalming through this whole game at some of these foul calls
Like Trae will hunt out these fouls and get them and then Garland/Mitchell/others will head in for a lay-up and get a similar level of contact and attempt to actually shoot the ball, but won't get the foul call. It gets pretty infuriating lol

JBB sees something with Stevens I don't with this matchup. He's not giving us anything on either end of the court.

I'd like to say the calls have turned the other way and I think the Cavs are getting some fortunate calls. I'm glad we are taking advantage of them at least

I definitely prefer him over Diakite (was honestly cringing at his defense tonight), but honestly I like the idea of the small line-up of Rubio Garland Mitchell LeVert Mobley against the Hawks

I'd be pissed about those two calls on Hunter if I was a Hawks fan. I absolutely hate that officials reward offensive players who initiate contact, but so long as the league is going to do it, I'm glad there's a player on the Cavs roster who's a beneficiary.

Is Wade just done for the year?

He's sick right now. I think Danny Green has COVID as well

Murray shooting like 14% don't even need to contest that.

I think I lost brain cells watching this game. Welp, nice try w/out Allen and Okoro + some more depth

Garland played 41 minutes. Mitchell and Mobley both played 40 minutes. I know a second round matchup against the Celtics is preferable, but you have to get to the second round, and I'm nervous about overuse, especially with Garland.

JB is a complete knucklehead to play those 2 plus Mobley 40 minutes in a losing effort.jbk1234 wrote:Garland played 41 minutes. Mitchell and Mobley both played 40 minutes.

We already locked up a playoff berth, these final games are meaningless, just get/stay healthy and get there, smh.

The 3 guard lineup with Rubio was dumb. That's 3 minutes of rest, each, that Mitchell and Garland didn't get.

We have two days off. I'm fine with JBB getting the guys ready to play extended minutes in the playoffs. NBA players used to play 40 minutes all the time.

Like someone said on the GB, just because something is tradition doesn't mean it's a good idea or should be continued.toooskies wrote:We have two days off. I'm fine with JBB getting the guys ready to play extended minutes in the playoffs. NBA players used to play 40 minutes all the time.
The literal only thing that matters is health. If one of our guys breaks an ankle during these final few games, it's all for not.
I'm glad they rested Okoro and Allen but that doesn't mean run the other starters into the ground.

I said it back in October and I'll say it again...I really like your team. I'll be rooting for you this postseason.
I hope you guys remain healthy and give hell to the established top-3 in the conference.

Garland is not a 40 mpg player. You could tell he was gassed at the end of the game. Even Mobley looked a half second slow in the last five minutes. There's no getting guys ready who just aren't built for it.
