This game will be a good indicator of how we can compete against good teams

The game will boil down to hitting our threes at a higher clip, keeping them to one shot and limiting our turnovers. Booker can’t play like he did last night against Love. The bench has to step up.
I hate to say it but I’m expecting crap officiating tonight. Guys are going to have to make their FTs when they get them. We won’t get many tonight.

Allen needs to play more. we can't have pick and roll coverage late in games like we did last night. we literally handed the Magic the game on a plate.

This game is going to come down to which team plays more/better defense.

This could turn out to be a super fun game!
Lots of 3's and fast pace... right in my wheelhouse!

Ugh
D’Lo listed as doubtful with a right knee strain.

this team has really small margin for error... no need to rush DLo back, his health is more important for a long season

Well levert was nice last night. We'll see a lot more of him now. And whitehead and skil might get some burn? Looking most forward to seeing Allen beast some more. No russel kinda kills my hype to be honest. Got a big exam friday, so will probably take a look at the beginning and start box score watching if we start falling apart.

Doubtful on our team means he's probably out for 2-3 games at least. I think he did shootaround today tho, so maybe he'll play if he's feeling good.

I don't think DLo should play. Just rest him. It's the smart thing to do. Team without DLo for one or two games is ok. But, need him out the minimal for the long-haul.

Would love to beat the Cavs tonight bu honestly not expecing a W.... just compete hard and hopefully our 3 ball is on point.
Refs will definitely favor the Cavs/LBJ 100%

ahhh I want to see Russell play. He seemed fine after the initial scare. I would've assumed some ice on and off today would do the trick. Maybe if the game was tomorrow night he'd be no question. Maybe they hold him out just for safety's sake.

Hold him out and let Whitehead play some minutes off the bench. If the Cavs show up they are winning no matter what.
Give Dinwiddie and Whitehead get some minutes in. Dinwiddie has looked good so far this year and Whitehead has talent, plus he probably has an even bigger chip than normal.

Whitehead is insurance and we need him to get some run tonight. He's a very good defensive player. Bring the kid in tonight.

I'd give Din 30 minutes. It's a good chance to see him with starters.
For me it's a toss up between Skil and WH / probably lean slightly to Skil

those volume stats dont tell much since we are #2 in pace... need pace adjusted PER100 possession stats
percentage are good though

Russel is out. Unfortunate but no need to try and play him. its just game 5 and a back to back. if he doesnt feel 110% id hold him out vs the knicks as well.
Next man up.
Time for Crabbe, Carroll, and Mozgov to earn those paychecks. Russell is our clear best player but he cant be the only guy who carries this offense. someone needs to step up tonight even if it is in a loss.
Cavs lost to orlando and then the bulls gave them a run last night. they wont be caught napping on a team they should beat.
Cabs 110-88 seems right
