Windler is active for the first time this season.

Mobley 2-2 from deep??

I tell you what, Caruso fouls a lot and gets away with it.

I knew when we stood pat that there was going to be a game where all of LeVert, Cedi, and Okoro would go cold from 3. Hopefully, there aren't a bunch of these.

This has been a weird game to say the least. Only down 6 though

[JujitsuFlip]

LaVine looked like he was dribbling through traffic cones on that one lol

[ijspeelman]

We are getting some really good looks and they are not going in

Past 2 nights I've watched, I've not seen Wade hit a single 3.

He made one yesterday, but yeah since he’s been back he’s not shooting at a high clip. Still bringing his defense though

Broadcast has mentioned numerous times how the guys are tired, this all star break will be much needed for the guys.

I have to say I commend JB on throwing out the all playmaking lineup of Garland Mitchell Rubio LeVert Mobley. We were lacking offense and they helped us bring it to within 5 at the end of the third. Definitely won’t work against most teams.

[JujitsuFlip]

That was a masterful 4th quarter.

Hit one yesterday and didn't play in the second half today. He really needs to get 5 attempts a night but I've kind of given up on the idea of JBB ever prioritizing spacing. It's going to take a front office intervention.

Well for one thing, Wade is usually used as a decoy. Teams know how good of a three point shooter he is, so they stay air tight on him and Bickerstaff knows this. I don't mind Wade not getting a lot of three point attempts. I think it's what helps our offense.

That is, by the way, our sixth straight win. It's important to note that we had 5 games in 7 days, and we won all of them. Only one of them wasn't a blowout victory. I think that speaks volumes as to how much better we've gotten as the season has progressed. Garland and Mitchell look a lot better next to each other now, our bigs are dominating, and our team is healthy again. It's an incredibly exciting time to be a Cavaliers fan.

The NBA used to do 4 games in 5 nights, so i guess 5 games in 7 nights is a slight improvement, still seems like a lot of ball packed into 1 week. Kudos to the Cavs avoiding those "scheduled losses", even if every team they played in that stretch was under .500, save 1.

If he's not open, that's fine. But there are times when he is and guys still drive into a crowded lane. Also, there are sets where he's not even out there.

I mean Rubio attempted 5 three pointers, Mobley 4, and Wade only had 3. He missed them and didn't see the court in the second half.

I don’t care what their records were. We were losing against bottom of the barrel teams multiple times throughout the season. And part of that was due to chemistry issues. I’m glad we’re playing well enough that we can not only blow those teams out, but do so with minimal amounts of time to rest.
