Dang, that knee tendonitis is kicking Jerome's butt. Hope he's ready to go for the playoffs, need our 6th man.

Knicks will be without Brunson, Robinson, Payne, McBride, and Huk. KAT is probable.

Wade is questionable for the Cavs with an illness.

With the win and Celtics loss, Cavs are 2 wins away from locking up the #1 seed.

The Magic number is 2. One win and one Celtics loss should do it.

The sooner, the better. Although the Celtics have a cake schedule.

2 Cavs wins
2 Celtics losses
1 Cavs win, 1 Celtics loss

Any combination works.

In reality though, with all the tie breakers, could probably get by with the magic number being 1, 2 is just what actually mathematically locks it in.

Should have probs commented last night, but that was a good comeback from behind win. OG could not miss in the first half and the Knicks were able to get out to a sizable lead and then Cavs went on one of their Cavalanches to make the score look like we were dominating the whole game. Haven't seen one of those in a bit

Kind of expected the Knicks to fall off in the second half given how Thibs runs them ragged and the second night of a back to back. Still, apparently they'd never given up a 15 point lead (their streak had gotten to 71 in a row). So, we still found a way to do something else ridiculous this season.

I was thinking along the same lines, you can basically just rope-a-dope a depleted Knicks team.

Interestingly the pace for the game was only 94.5 even though the Cavs were clearly trying to go fast at the Knicks in the second half.
