Game 55: Cavs @ Nets 2/20/2025

The #Cavs list Isaac Okoro (shoulder) as questionable for tomorrow night's game in Brooklyn. He last played January 16.

Ty Jerome (calf strain) is also questionable and Dean Wade is out.

Tomlin looked solid in garbage time, but I'm pretty sure Travers isn't an NBA player. I'm glad to see us play through these games where a physical team tries to junk up the game, but they're a lot less enjoyable to watch from a fan perspective. If I were an official, I would not reward a foul-on-every-possession-because-they-can't-call-it-every-time approach.

Jarret Allen isn’t winning you anything. Garland won’t show up in the playoffs. Mobley is a glorified dunk man. Mitchell has some experience but is a liability on defense. To me, the Cavs are a treadmill team.

I think our end-of-bench guys are mostly complementary players at this point and that makes them all look pretty bad when out there collectively. CPJ can occasionally get his and Bates will take his shots whenever he gets the chance, but Tyson/Travers/Thompson definitely thrive the most when they're not the focal point of what's going on.

I'd also say that Travers missed a ton of time due to injury and that might just have him a few steps slow at processing the game right now.

Tomlin has something there but he also struck me as too-young. Kind of out of control, needs to develop his physique, all that. Still, had some juice. Perfect guy for a two-way.

We haven't played Thor in February. We've played Travers each of our last three games.
