Looking forward to this game. The Emirates NBA Cup combined with the Cavs chasing history with their winning streak makes this game so much more interesting!

No Mobley is gonna make this one hurt. Guess Wade gonna be playing a heavy dose of back-up 5 tonight.

No Merrill either. Allen playing through that leg strain could be worrisome.

You know you'll have TJ, CPJ, and LeVert off the bench. Gotta have one of TT, Thor, or Travers give some good minutes tonight.

49 points in the 1st quarter is a franchise record!

I am only going to say that Dean Wade at back-up center might actually be real lol

Donovan needs to play well next two games, specially the Celtics game, and if we win both he might get another player of the week, not that it’s important, but we need to win the next two games while we’re hot, will Evan be back Sunday ?

Not sure about that zone against teams who shoot well from the corner.

The zone has been my biggest criticism of Kenny. It seems to generate easy looks all the time for the opponent.

I get the idea of protecting Garland and Mitchell against the high PNR. and we're still very early in the season, but the early results aren't great.

Allegedly they're playing the 2nd most zone behind only Miami.

Kenny has spoiled us with how well the offense is going, but systems do not usually just slap-in and perform at a high level.
