Game Thread | Game #76 | Rockets @ Cavs | March 26, 2023 | 6:00 p.m.

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
According to the official NBA injury report, Dean Wade is out and Danny Green is questionable with what is described as "illness". Neto is also out with a hamstring injury. Diakite and Brobley are available.

With the Rockets being the opponent, the #9-15 guys on the bench are worth a little more attention than would normally be the case.
 
It’s a great day to be a Cavaliers fan. Kyrie ran out on us and his latest team lost its second in a row to Charlotte. Dallas is now occupying the 11th seed. The other turncoat is back today off the bench for the Lakers but they’re down 13 at home to the 10th seed Bulls. Meanwhile we’re about to clinch a playoff berth in March.
 
Provide play-by-play transcriptions of each victory from the TV and radio broadcasters.
Sounds reasonable. At least I don't have to do the losses. Here's one from the immortal Joe Tait:

"Gets a pick, the line, the lane, and WHAM WITH RIGHT HAND!"

And Doncic is facing a one-game suspension after picking up his 16th tech today.

Doncic and Kyrie combined for 58 points; the other three Mav starters combined for 5. Nice balanced scoring.

LeBron came off the bench today - was that the first time in his career?

I heard that! If you can translate the current broadcasters to Joe Tait, you will have reached perfection as a commentator.
 
While we wait for the game to start, who do you think is the best-looking Cavalier? Kevin Love had that spot. Now who? Jarrett?

I thought he came off the bench when he helped Team USA win a bronze medal.
 
I'm out of the area so I haven't heard the current radio guy or guys but I'm pretty sure he/they pale in comparison to the Legend.
John Michael was almost as good as Joe. He was his equal in enthusiasm and creative calls. Joe was a little better in play-by-play calling.
