Game 82 | Knicks (28-53) @ Cavs (50-31) | April 11, 2018 | 8:00 PM EST

[MoFlo]

Kyrie out the door, injuries galore, this season's been pretty draining
Midget stopped by, expectations were high, Bogut's stay was more entertaining
Rose disappeared, which Cavs fans all cheered, "stay away and don't come back" they mentioned
Wade in Wine & Gold, it never gets old, a true Cavalier legend
Love got sick, teammates were d!cks, IT wanted a doctor's note
JR was fussed, Crowder a bust, needed fresh blood around the GOAT
Clarkson/Hill/Hood, son of a Cavalier great - could, very well be the right road
On our way towards, our annual reward, activation: Playoff Mode
We got the first Cedi, so let's all get ready, this season is not anything new
Over the season let's not fret, ring #1 let's not forget, we beat a 73 win team too
#1 from Brook-lyn, 16 playoff wins, but first it's....

Hope this isn't the last regular season game we get with LeBron.

Not ready for the best athlete that'll probably ever grace Cleveland to head back out the door so soon. Still hoping it'll be in 2025 after he retires.

Well then brace yourself King in the North! That sadly might very well be the case. If he leaves, a long winter is coming...

 

[PIP]

The weirdest season ever

 

[bushwick_bill]

Is Hood out?

 

[tocov]

I missed the last game thread because I thought I was supposed to be making THIS one, but apparently I'm actually a stupid idiot.

I hear ya. I think he stays if the rest of the "squad" steps up and plays well thru the playoffs. LBJ want to see results and feel like there's hope for the future. Kind of like the rest of us I guess.

Is Hood out?

Hood, Love, and Korver all out.

Hopefully gives the Knicks enough of a shot to pull one out and give us a shot at the AMAZING 8th pick instead of the HORIFFIC 9th pick!

Lots of Cedi, Zicic, Holland, and Perrantes tonight

And lots of people unnecessarily freaking out about Jeff Green taking ISO threes with Love, LeBron, Korver, and Hood all not playing at all or beyond the first quarter or so.

 

[Futuredome]

I figure how the 76er game goes, will determine much.

 

[Sir'Dom Pointer]

If Cedi wins the game for us tonight Somehow, he should probably say goodbye to his biggest supporter. Bitch.

And mess up his season averages? I'd say just don't play him then but whatever.

And I don't see how you try to win and pull out LeBron after he scores 10 points. Unless I'm misunderstanding. Would suck if we lose a winnable game if Sixers lose and then we decide not to play LeBron anymore. Just play him or don't.

LeBron is only playing so he can say he played all 82. Since he's playing, he "has" to get his 10 points.
