Re: Game 70: Cavs @ Timberwolves
No Wade or Strus for sure. No update on Mitchell, Mobley, or TJ so they're safe bets to be out too.
Charge have a game in South Dakota tomorrow so idk which of Nance, Bates, and Brobley will be up with the team, if any.
Looks like it may just be 10 guys active tonight.

We're just on a collusion course for a 1st round rematch with the Knicks, huh?

I didn't get to watch this one but i did get to watch Jb's nephew and his team knock off the 5 seed Wisconsin team, which I actually picked 12 seed James Madison, woo.

The injury bug is really hurting us during this stretch of games. I don’t know how much longer we can keep our third seed at this rate, but if we don’t get players back soon, we could find ourselves dropping to a lower seed without HC in the first round.

Like I've said before HCA hasn't helped the past 2 seasons in the post season. Seeding doesn't matter, it should all be about matchup.Iwasawitness wrote:The injury bug is really hurting us during this stretch of games.

If the Cavs face the Pacers or Magic they have a chance to finally make it to round 2. If the Cavs face the Knicks, Heat, or 76ers (if Embiid is healthy) it's a 3rd consecutive early post season exit. I'll put the Bucks in the maybe column, not because I think the Cavs can beat them but I don't envision them falling that far in the standings.

What makes you think we’re a first round exit if we face the Heat?

Because they're a terrible matchup for the Cavs. Spo is going to coach circles around Jb. The amount of different defensive looks that Spo would employ would have Jb's head spinning. Plud Spo has no problem playing guys situationally, so while Jb is running his starters into the ground, Spo will always have fresh legs, even if just in spurts. Plus playoff Jimmy is just a different animal, took an 8 seed and a 5 seed to the Finals.Iwasawitness wrote:JujitsuFlip wrote:Like I've said before HCA hasn't helped the past 2 seasons in the post season.

I will say the one schedule advantage is the Cavs play the Hornets 3 times in their final 12 games. In theory those should all be wins.

I'm less concerned with HC advantage than I am with getting healthy in time to gell a minute before the playoffs start.

Jarret Allen isn’t winning you anything. Garland won’t show up in the playoffs. Mobley is a glorified dunk man. Mitchell has some experience but is a liability on defense. To me, the Cavs are a treadmill team.
