Game 76 | Cavs @ Magic | Apr.2nd | 7:00 PM ET

[JFT]

Best damn game of the season!

 

[Futuredome]

I thought the best game was vs. the Raptors?

Still need the nets to win which isnt looking likely right now

We need to go 6-0 and need the Knicks to go 2-4 the rest of the season. Possible but unlikely.

Wrong, 6-0 they can go 3-3

Good call. That is actually possible. If only we won that game at Z's ceremony...

Did Deng get hurt or just never made it back into the game because we had it in the bag? Only 21 minutes and was playing well? No complaint just didn't see/hear anything on him.

The Magic were just what the doctor ordered for this first game back with Kyrie. Mike Brown rewarded Dion for his stellar play of late with the most minutes played tonight(tied w Hawes) and Dion responded with a brilliantly efficient offensive game. Kyrie comes back and misses just one shot. Tristan 20p, 11rebounds(offensive), and 8-8 from the stripe.

Dion, English :chuckles:

I would suggest to quit obsessing over what the knicks and hawks are doing and instead fully enjoy what the Cavs are doing on the court

Yep, I just appreciate the effort and chemistry that they're showing out there. Barring a complete miracle, we're not going to make the playoffs this season, but I do like the fight that this young group of guys is showing with three rotation players (Varejao, Miles, Bennett) on the mend.

Hopefully they can ride this and we can really get the show on the road next season.

Deng hurt his back. Hopefully not seriously because we won't be beating the Hawks starting Alonzo Gee again.

I hear your suggestion and I politely decline.

Ahhhh..meaningful basketball in April. How Ive missed you.

 

[wuck]

I wouldn't say I am obsessing over the Knicks/Hawks, but I will say that I am surprised and entertained by the Cavs playing meaningful games in April for the first time in years. I am not expecting both the Knicks and Hawks to blow it, but a loss here and there means that the Cavs will continue to play games that "count". I think that's really good for the young guys, and they have been responding well to it in recent games.

Very interested in the Friday night Hawks game with both teams desperate for a win.

 

[Stark]

The Knicks shellacked the Nets, and it's looking like Chicago is going to beat Atlanta.

New York and Atlanta are going to be tied for eighth place, the Cavaliers are going to be two games back.

If only I knew how to embed that "Not sure if serious" picture...

Bennett emerged as a legitimate big man off our bench before he got hurt.
