Game 32: Cavs vs. Celtics | Tue, Feb 28th | 7:00 PM ET

Finally we can watch some Cavs games. We had like 6 days off. I am hoping we lose more games in the second half of the season while we get rid Jamison and/or Sessions.

And we face the Knicks the next night.. Going to be a pretty brutal schedule from here on out. Maybe it will lead to more losses.

The Cavs have the 10th worst record in the league. Apparently the Celtics are not too far behind..

Is this the first time Kyrie has faced Rondo? I think he was out for both of the first games, I cant remember for sure though. Beating the C's tonight would be another nail in their "window", so while I want the highest draft pick possible I wouldnt mind a Cavs win at all.

Yeah, Rondo was out for both games. I want to see a competitive loss. I am not sure what a win would do for us.. Unless Kyrie hits another game winner or something, it wouldn't mean much.

Andy and Kyrie were huge when we beat them. I don't see us beating them without Andy. Right know we're getting out rebounded every game we play.

I hope TT gets more time PF or C doesn't matter and it will be interesting to see how Kyrie continues this season.

Man that was close. It's really fun watching us play these day. Kyrie just exploding at times and TT showed how good he can be. He had 13 points, 10 boards and 2 blocks.

We'd won this game easily with another scorer. Jamison always get owned by KG he must hate that match up. And we missed seven more free throws than they did.

Knicks tomorrow, Kyrie should take advantage of his match up and hopefully Parker and Gibson make a shot (baffling AP got the last shot today).

Celtics had the big four out there and healthy and we still almost got them.

Double double from Thompson and all the other young players with a future here looked solid.

I'll take it.

Maybe because we are playing the Knicks tomorrow, an uptempo team, on a back to back.

And the Cavs also have to play another set of back to back games on Friday and Saturday.

Disappointing loss to the fading Celtics but I liked some of what I saw. Irving continues to impress me more than I expected, and I had pretty high expectations too. Gotta beat the Knicks!
It's not whether you win or lose, it's how good you look playing the game
