Once again, we are facing two good teams (Cleveland and Minnesota) on a B2B having to travel for tomorrow night's game. Glad Embiid was able to rest in the 4th vs. the Nets because he's gonna need his energy assuming he plays both games.

We better see a heavy dose of Springer in both games since we're gonna have our hands full with Mitchell and Garland and then Ant Man.

Must win tonight since Mitchell is out, and tomorrow is basically another schedule loss.

Pretty sure they could make the schedule in a way that all b2b games are home games. That would help a ton.

Do we advance if we win? If that's the case we should tank it.

If we win this one we have to wait to what happens with the Pacers who play the Hawks and the Pistons. Even if the Pacers advance instead of us, we could advance as the Wild Card (The team with the best differential among those who didn't advance)

For what. To take some weird stance against Silver?

Pretty sure the players want to actually win.

People seem to think being eliminated frees the team from playing extra games. Isn’t every possible outcome already in the schedule except the championship game?

I love Niang but if the team don't switch him on Maxey, we deserve to lose

Batum looks like he has played with Joel for years lol

The simple act of passing into the paint makes Batum look like a wizard

Hot take number 1,542
Cavs are better with Darius Garland as their lead guard and they need to trade Mitchell for better fitting pieces.

Embiid needs to chill. Gonna be a long night if he doesn't.

Embiid is an amazing half court defender and one of the worst transition defenders I ever seen. I get it he is big and slow. But the Cavs have about 4 easy buckets because of it. Two easy alley oops to Allen and Porter Jr took advantage of his slow back pedaling for two quasi transition drives.

I know he's a fat statue but I miss Georges

Murray_17 · Post #17 » by **Murray_17** » Wed Nov 22, 2023 1:01 am

Batum needs to play with Joel in any line up that doesn't have Maxey...

Bev is useless

Covington holding his elbow and wincing in pain.

Especially in the stupid Embiid+scrubs line up, guys are sagging off him and doubling Joel. Which makes the entire line up useless
