2022-2023 Regular Season: A New Power Rises in the East

[Jscc]

JA was initially listed out with a hip contusion.. now it's a lower back contusion. Ugh.

Oh well. Mobley is benefiting from JA's missed time. We are also about to hit a stretch against sub par teams to make it more apparent. So I'm not concerned unless JBB starts running him into the ground.

The fact that JA is already listed as out is a bit of a concern; my initial reaction was that he might miss a game or two , but this is ostensibly more serious

I hope they sit him as long as it takes for him to completely heal up. You don't want lingering hip and lower back problems with a 7 footer because they rushed him back too soon. It's barely December, we need to manage this part of the season with May and June in mind.

Cavs still holding on to the third seed ahead of -- the Indiana Pacers? Is this 2013 again?

I think the worry would be it’s less of a hip injury and more of a back issue.

Well, they’re calling it a lower back contusion now and have been since he‘s been on the injury report; even though to the untrained eye, it looked like he landed directly on his hip.

June eh?

Great teammates. Show Okoro that the average HS baller can't dribble or shoot either. Get that confidence up.

Our training staff has been cautious with guys this year. I think it’s a witness to a belief that we are good enough to win even without our best players in the lineup every night.

Everything i hear something about mitchell, I find another reason to like the guy a bit more. So happy he is a Cavalier

 

[Lee]

That is fucking awesome. Okoro wasmt paying attention, but Garland and Mitchell seemed really into it. Imagine when you were in highschool and 3 members of your favorite team randomly came to your game...just incredible.

Half those kids are probably more skilled than he is

With Allen still out tonight, I'm assuming we will see Diakite back in the starting lineup with Wade at the SF spot. What will be interesting is what the lineup looks like once Allen is back. Let's hope Diakite gives JB something to really have to consider with more stellar play tonight.

Don't forget Love will be back sooner than Allen. When they're both back $$$$$$$$$$$ speak and determine playing time. Sorry, but absolutely true.
