who starts? AB probably, don't think JI because he isn't in the best shape....

My decision in 2K? Start JI.
What I think will happen? Start Jett.

I hope they start Jett and let him go wild. Let us see if he has what it takes.

Note: I have no idea who is starting. Just a guess it will be Black.

Time to bring back Travis Diener

Let's see Jett get a shot

Cole was told by Mosely he was out of the rotation. It will be interesting if he plays tonight.

Well this will be interesting. I would like to see Black start and Cole get some minutes to see if he can somewhat redeem himself for his poor play. Gotta feeling this will either be an easy blow out win for the Cavs, or we will win a nailbiter.

I'd like to see TDS get some extended minutes. If he can't play, we need to get another forward who can.

Win it for Paolo!

Top three key outcomes from tonight that I'll be rooting for:

1. A win
2. A Franz masterclass as he begins his all-star push
3. Big minutes from JI

I'll be rooting for TDS minutes, Black to get to the line, and Jett to get up 6+ threes as well but for our near term stability I need Franz and JI to step up.

Without Paolo the team will need to play fast and play the perimeter against a defense as big as Cleveland.

This is looking like it’ll be a long night. They’re in top form, we just lost Paolo amd Franz is uncertain. But sometimes those are the random games guys play well above their level, so here’s hoping for that.

Nailed it.

Free Cole

AB getting tested on the big stage! Tough opponent to be going up against, let’s hope he comes with something to prove.

Whoa, good call. This is exciting!

Paolo's situation really sucks, but the games still have to be played. I do believe in the resiliency of this group. It's hard to say what our W-L record turns out to be during this time, but I don't see us rolling over in any kind of way. This is an opportunity for guys to step up. It will be tough on Franz as the defense will really focus on him, but that's a growth opportunity. Anthony Black will have to continue growing up very quickly. We'll need shot making from KCP. Cole Anthony will need to give us something. Suggs will need to score for us and make teams defend him but not turn the ball over at a high volume.

Would expect Cole to be back in the rotation with both Black and Suggs starting.

Franz playing PF?? This will not go well vs Mobley.
