One thing that worries me about Game 1 is that we've been really bad with games after a long period of rest this season. Hopefully Mosley has them ready

With how petty this Magic team is, having turned what Eddie House said into fuel to dominate the Celtics last year, I get a feeling that what the Cavs did to get them as an opponent in the first round will turn into fuel for this series. As such, I'm saying Magic in 6.

JI wearing black practice jersey. Same as Paolo, Franz, Harris and Suggs. Is this anything?

Man, I hope so. I wonder if Wendell Carter Jr can be an impact player off the bench cuz he's certainly dead weight in the starting lineup.

Looking at the injury reports and see for the Cavs:
Dean Wade
PF GTD 20 Apr
Sam Merrill
SG GTD 20 Apr
Donovan Mitchell
SG GTD 20 Apr
Caris LeVert
SG GTD 20 Apr
Darius Garland
PG GTD 20 Apr

So: all should play and none should be 100%. Heath could be a decider in this series. What a change from last years.

And-1

Wembanyama's step-back three is essentially always an open jumper. He is literally unguardable from distance.

At these percentages, he should be shooting from three at volume. He could go 5 for 11 every game.

So is this the moment I go get Bally's would I have at least the first 4 games?

It is interesting because I haven't soured on WCJ. I have just realized that a Goga type with a better shooter in the guard position will in essence be a better solution to the question of how do we solve 3pt shooting and improve defense.

Isaac vs Wendel 3-ball is a wash IMHO. Isaac is more streaky, Wendel is either a couple buckets or it isn't.

Defense it isn't even a contest. Wendel isn't "bad". But once you have had a BurgerFi burger. Do you really want to go back to the BigMac?

Ballys is airing the entire first round no matter how long it goes.

When are you two doing another one? Playoffs is a justifiable reason.

Technically yes, if you sign up on 4/20 you’d get the first 7 days free so first 4 games.

I feel you, I dropped off the map when I had my kids. Appreciate the content you already put out and maintain. I do think you and souls perspectives would be interesting to the fan base though, and winning increases demand.

I am on number 2 and trying for a 3rd after that I have my mid-life crisis promptly scheduled @ 42.
