Earliest the NBA will let the series start is May 3rd, even if the Pacers win tonight, so we have a little bit of rest ahead.

And that is a day past the 10 days of recover time for Garland's big toe sprain so he should be good to go

Assuming our opponent is the Pacers (which is definitely the most likely scenario), this will not be close to a cake walk. They've kinda flipped back and forth w the Knicks for who I think are the third best team in the East

As deep as the Cavs are, i think the Pacers may actually be deeper. I'd say still run the 10 man rotation in this series too.

Well if we don't have to send double teams at any of the Pacers, everyone may be calling them a team of scrubs soon too.

Oops haha. Its possible I might be screwed going to the next series if we win because I am out of town potentially during games 3 and 4. And do I want to pay game 6 prices if it gets that far?

Had to make plans around Game 1 and kept having to tell my friend I am just waiting on the start time lol. Suffice to say, just moved the plans to today

Pacers are going to try to run us outta the gym this series. Transition defense will be important if we want to win the series.

Pacers have a faster pace than us in the regular season and playoffs, we don't even play all that slow either.

Darius Garland is not on the floor at his normal warmup time. Not a good sign for his availability tonight.
