Do Not Sell My Personal Information
@Peacedog favortie tandem starting in Okoro and Stevens, how many available shots will not go up is the question
 
Mobley will play like a spread 5 and hoist 8 3 pointers tonight............this game is gonna be great.
 
The problem is every shot they take (beyond a dunk) will be one the defense was happy they took.
Ice’s eFG% over his three seasons is now 48% - 54% - 58%. He’s getting better, still a long way to go.
 
Before the game starts, I want to make sure I have my narrative playbook down:

- Cavs Win: Doesn’t matter, they should have won anyway. JBB’s fault.
- Cavs Lose: HOW COULD YOU POSSIBLY LOSE THIS GAME??? MOST IMPORTANT GAME OF THE YEAR!! JBB’s fault.

- Eight or fewer players play: JBB running his guys into the ground again! Only a matter of time before Evan’s ACL snaps! JBB’s fault.
- Nine or more players play: No reason to be experimenting at this point in the season. We need every win. JBB’s fault.

- Donovan scores 40+: There he goes dominating the ball again. No choice, since the coaches won’t run an actual play on offense. JBB’s fault.
- Donovan scores < 20: He looks tired. Probably because of all those minutes he’s had to play. JBB’s fault.

- Arena scoreboard crashes to the floor during the game. Fortunately, nobody is hurt, but the game needs to be postponed: JBB’s fault, everybody knows it’s the visiting coach’s responsibility to check these things.

Does that sound right?

Cavs forfeit due to showing up an hour late after forgetting about switch to daylight savings time. JBB's fault!

- If Cavaliers don’t win big that will be due to poor coaching. A close win on the road is more proof coach stinks.

You are obviously an RCF veteran. You know all the moves and you react instinctively, without thinking.
 
It's going to be a Cavs win, I just hope we see 11 players get run. That'll mean blowout.
 
The Garland, Mitchell, Okoro, Stevens, and Mobley unit is a +16. 2 in 25 possessions. The Garland, Mitchell, LeVert, Stevens, and Mobley group is a +15.7 in 83 possessions.
 
Jarret Allen out. He suffered an eye injury from a foul. A poster said any player who causes an injury that results in a player missing games should miss an equal number of games. I don’t think that goes far enough. To really be fair the fouling player should have also been gouged in the eye. An eye for an eye - I read that in an old Jewish book. @Lee

Sounds like a good book. I wonder if it will catch on.
 
Just realized - with JA out, if the Cavs get a defensive three second call tonight, who is going to lead the over-the-top celebration?
