Orlando had lost a handful before they took it out on us... Cleveland has lost 3 in a row. This would be such a great win.

It feels like that Orlando game was super important to get based on how close they are to us in the standings, but also because it was followed with away games against the Cavs and Pacers. Pacers have been playing like one of the best teams in the league as of late winning 8 of their last 10. Two really tough games to finish out this 5 game road trip.

Yeah, unless Cade has a 40 point triple double, the Pistons are gonna lose this game, and could lose it badly.

They are absolutely much improved, and can play with anyone, but, as with all young teams, consistency is difficult.

Maybe they win, but man, that seems like long damn odds.

Yeah, tough stretch. Wins seem unlikely but ya never know.

Orlando's record is a mirage. They're a top 4 team in the east, perhaps even top 2-3 with a healthy roster, the roster we saw against the Pistons. The Pistons aren't on their level so I expected a loss. I figured 2-3 would be a successful trip and that seems like the likely outcome, nothing to scoff at.

Tobias is questionable

This will be a rough one. Would love to see us win it but I think whatever positives we can take from it will be sufficient.

We’re paying the piper for an easier schedule now. Had to happen sometime.

Rounded to the nearest percentage the Cavs are shooting 50 percent from the field and 40 percent from three while taking the 6th highest amount from three. These are TEAM stats and they’ve been sustained through 45 games. Thats mind blowing.

Ha

I don't even remember his head injury

Okoro, Wade, and Levert are out.... I'd love to see Ausar guard Mitchell (and have a similar result like Trae Young)

Why are the Cavs challenging that?

MortSahlfan · Post #17 » by **MortSahlfan** » Tue Jan 28, 2025 12:37 am

Not only have the Cavs (best record) lost 3 in a row, but they want to beat their old coach.

Stewart stinks.

Challenge that, JB? The refs were giving a jump call, and it might have hit Ausar's fingers.
And this early?

JB thinks he's still the Cavs coach. <groan>
