[JujitsuFlip]

I would be very surprised if Garland, Mobley or Hunter played tonight for the #Cavs.

All 3 have now officially been ruled out, i gotta see the rotation Kenny goes with tonight.

[ijspeelman]

All officially out

[ijspeelman]

This'll be a fun one

[Dupp]

If hunter is out now what’s gonna change in the near future?

[ijspeelman]

The #Cavs are starting Donovan Mitchell, Ty Jerome, Max Strus, Dean Wade and Jarrett Allen tonight.

If Dean is starting, I have to assume we see some Javonte time for back-up PF/C. I'd kinda be shocked about any TT time, but we will see

This is where Jerome can show he's worth the big bucks. Same w Merrill off the bench, honestly. He will probs run some back-up PG/SG if CPJ doesn't get time

Had to get Merrill outta there, but that means CPJ gonna have to try to battle McConnell off the bench.

I'd prefer Green but i think Kenny trusts TT. Wade probably going to play some back-up 5 which is scary.

Merrill will def get a lot of time off the bench, I assume

He'll have to but their starters annihilated us game 1.

[ijspeelman]

Curious how much rest DMitch will get

First rest for him, Ty Merrill Strus Okoro Allen line-up

[ijspeelman]

I'll also need to ask the same about Allen. I assume its gonna be Wade/Allen swap back and forth like Mobley Allen

Only two mins of rest for his first stint

[ijspeelman]

Allen out. Wade in.

And Javonte Green

[ijspeelman]

Mitchell is using his body in the paint. Little scary every time he goes down, but he's getting FTs

[ijspeelman]

Defense

[ijspeelman]

You could not have asked for a better first quarter

32-15

[Dupp]

The defense looking great. Bubble Mitchell doing his thing

I wonder, if anything, they switched up. I cannot see it in gametime

Too bad Allen picked up 2 fouls early, could be a key factor later in the game.
