Game 57: Grizzlies @ Cavs 2/23/2025

[JujitsuFlip]

Allen is questionable with the right index finger injury. Garland is also questionable (hip). The Javonte Green signing just went official so idk if he'll suit up tonight or not.

Too bad if we're missing Allen and Garland for this one because Memphis is a much more balanced team than the Knicks but have lost 2 of their last 3 and will be presumably looking to right the ship in a big game.

On the other hand, it's not like we're lacking options, and it could be fun to see how some of them play out.

Look how happy he looks to be here!

#Cavs center Jarrett Allen is on the floor for pregame warmups. A good sign that he will play.

On the rotating video board outside the visiting locker room, the #Cavs recognize Lamar Stevens’ return to Cleveland for the first time with the new arena name.

Stevens recently signed a 10-day contract with the Memphis Grizzlies.

Isaac Okoro is getting the start for the #Cavs in Darius Garland's place. He's alongside Donovan Mitchell, Max Strus, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen.

Presumably Isaac gets to try to defend Ja.

I watched both games on ABC today but no way to watch ESPN. I'll be box score watching, go Cavs!

[ijspeelman]

No Garland is actually going to suck against the Grizz, but still expecting a good game

[ijspeelman]

Expecting Wells to face guard Mitchell all night

[mcfly1204]

Nice to see Okoro and Strus hitting the glass.

[ijspeelman]

Looks like we are going to see some Hunter primary ballhandling today

[ijspeelman]

We are getting some great three point looks but cannot make them

[ijspeelman]

I wish Mitchell's feet were just a little smaller lol. So many three turned into long twos

He's making them tho

[ijspeelman]

Sam Merrill is becoming one of my fav Cavs lol. He's been extremely gritty this season

Yep, I was good with that last offensive foul.

[ijspeelman]

That was a terrible challenge lol. Mitchell so obviously fouled him haha

[ijspeelman]

This was a huge game to win.

I've had this game circled on my calendar for a long time and to win it with no Garland... this team, man.

Two more games to finish out the hardest four game schedule of the regular season.

[ijspeelman]

Also, won despite shooting 27% from three to their 39%.
