I have no doubt Andy would be playing right now if he could. Dion on the other hand has a reputation for not handling injuries well. We are not tanking anymore so if Dion can play without the risk of long term problems then he needs to get back on the court immediately.

I'd rather him sit out for a few more games and be as close to 100%. Having him come back right away and being bothered all season long will not help the Cavaliers.
 
Damn. This team is weak as hell without him. Mostly because Jack sucks.

What a shame.
 
Id rather he sat out 10 more games so we can secure a better draft pick. PLayoffs are nearly impossible at this point, we haven't even hit the hard part of the schedule yet.

Mathmatically this is totally blatantly false

? I believe I read that we have the hardest remaining schedule in the east based on opponent win % We would have to go on an absolute tear and also get a lot of luck in the form of other teams choking to make it. We will need probably 37 wins to make the playoffs, do the math. While mathematically there is a chance, it is absolutely not happening. Much better to ride the young guys and develop them at this point and hope for a decent pick.


We would have to go 15-10 to hit 37 with games remaining against these teams. Oh and 12 are on the road.

OKC x2
Toronto x2
Phoenix
Memphis
San Antonio
Golden State
Clippers
Heat
Pacers
Rockets


If you think that is happening, all I can say is...

From Lloyd's final thoughts, little information...
1. It’s hard to pound on the Cavs for losing these games considering they’re playing without three cogs in the machine. They’re missing their leading rebounder in Anderson Varejao, their best 3-point shooter in C.J. Miles and their third-leading scorer in Dion Waiters. Any team would have difficulty overcoming those personnel losses.

13. Waiters said before the game he hasn’t started running yet and will miss at least a couple more games. Miles is still dealing with swelling in the ankle. I didn’t see Varejao tonight, and there hasn’t been much information available on his back or injury status.:(
 
This is why that homestand killed our playoff chances. When you're healthy and aiming for the playoffs you got to win particularly at home and crush opposing teams who are on back to backs. NBA teams rarely stay healthy thru an entire season and you have to give yourself a cushion for the known unknowns

Him and Andy are going to have the best plus minus on the team simply by not playing :(
 
I'm not sure Dion's injury could have come at a worse time, both for him and the team. He was balling and the Cavs were winning
