Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Big time fun game

Awesome high volume 3P shotmaking from Garland, Merrill, Mitchell, and Niang

Defense had Pels not getting the 3P shots they’re used to taking/making

Mitchell coming back barely crossed 30 minutes played.

Cavs found a way to make a lot of Damian Jones minutes somehow not a disaster.

Pels either just not in it mentally or the Cavs presented looks on defense they’re not used to from their usual WCF opponents
 
Cavs win big with a great game. As soon as I heard Mitchell would play, I felt positive.

Out rebounded them, outshot them by a ton, out-assisted them. Season high for the Cavs with 38.

Great offense, great defense.

Allen drove JV out of the game. He couldn't defend him.

Rough night for the DG and JBB haters.

This is what I stated earlier.

Exactly. No haters around here . We just knew he (referring to DG) could play better, smarter, faster. Love it! If we‘re going anywhere in the playoffs, this is what we needed to see.

And props to JBB for the rotations tonight; staggering DG and Donovan, keeping Niang in the starting lineup

Virtually everyone in here wants the team to succeed. Of course, there are varied opinions on the best way to do that. And that’s what makes RCF such a great place. However, there’s no reason or place to be snarky and point fingers at any one person or group of persons especially after a great win
 
Garland is starting to look his normal twitchy waterbug self. He showed some great change of direction and was secure with the ball.

Merrill desperately needed this game, too.

Great win over a very quality opponent on the road. Hats off to the good guys.
