Stevens earned those Wade minutes. Stevens now first big off the bench

No. Stevens was out-hustling Luke Kornet for those rebounds - Luke Kornet is worse than Lopez. He likely wouldn’t have gotten more than 1 or 2 against a legitimate front line and then all you have is a guy who should be getting back on d out of position and giving up buckets on the other end. Everything he did was against a totally spent team. He isn’t any different than he was. As Rich already said - this game is exactly why you keep Stevens around, but he’s not a better option most nights than Wade or Cedi or whoever’s minutes he’d be taking.

Nine of the remaining 15 are on the road - not exactly where the Cavs do well.

Eight of the games are in road pairs - two games in the same town. I don't recall seeing schedules like that very often.

The camera caught Williams saying, “I’ll make both,” and my god I was rooting for that to become a meme. I hope basketball Twitter doesn’t disappoint.

And I still don't believe that foul call at the end of regulation. I've seen that exact thing happen so often at the end of games & it never gets called.

I’m not going to read through all of this. I’ll just assume it was filled with optimism throughout.

Man, Mitchell pulled some kind of Hannibal Lecter shit on Williams right there.

Back to back for Lamar JYD

As JYD chains go this one was one of the best. Stevens pulled us out of trouble and Donovan took us home.

Meanwhile Evan starting to break out. He’s going to be a beast next season after another summer of dedication. Let’s also give Cedi some love for two big threes to help out.

Holy hell, is that the ghost of Kevin Love in the middle??!! Is this like that scene from 3 Men And A Baby?!

Cavs locker room bought that Tupac hologram machine from Coachella. Kevin will always be there...

Boston is deep at every position. They could beat many teams with their bench alone.

Those teams are bottom of the league teams. Not one that should be a 4th seed...
