Game 82: Washington Wizards @ Cleveland Cavaliers. April 15, 2015 @ 8:00 PM EST

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
I think the Bulls will beat the Hawks if they meet.
 
You guys are funny.

Like really funny.

This is an exhibition game. It's nice that Love is shooting well. That is good to see for sure. This game has ZERO bearing on the Cavs morale heading into the playoffs. Whether we win by 5 or lose by 25. it's irrelevant.

For the people complaing about Kyrie and Love playing decent minutes, why?

We have three days off(Th, Fri, Sat) until the series opener. they could easily play 36 minutes a piece and be fine.
 
Fred just said game 1 is Sunday
 
I miss Michael Reghi.

Because it's absolutely stupid to risk a freak injury in an absolutely meaningless game. Stuff happens all the time.

Exactly. At practices. In pick up games. In regular season games. In exhibition games. You rest if you have an injury or want to give a guy an extra day or two to ensure 100% health. Not to avoid completely random and unpredictable injuries.

Look at the Atlanta boxscore. They have the goal of winning a championship. This is a "meaningless" game to them. Their 4 starters all played 14-18 minutes in the first half(games at halftime now)
 
Damnnn... Derrick Rose just got benched for his play against Atlanta thus far.

You're missing the point. This game means nothing, literally. Not for preparation for the playoffs, not for ANYTHING. Basketball is a contact sport, especially in the NBA, it's too easy to get hurt on freak, non-contact plays, let alone contact plays.

Now you tell me, why play them? What advantage, or purpose does it serve? There's no purpose playing your best players in an absolutely meaningless game like this.

Playing them 10 minutes for the fans is honorable, everything else is just absolutely meaningless and being careless.

Seeing Kyrie fighting for loose balls, is where I say that's it, get him out of there.
 
I want to see Harris get some time in today. He has been killing it at Canton and I think he's going to be a great asset next year as folks like Marion retire or leave the team.

I'd be ok with benching the starters. Love is shooting well, getting touches, making nice passes and is feeling good. End his regular season on a high note (personally anyway).
