2022-2023 Regular Season II: Cardiac Cavs

[MirORich]

If Allen is out, likely more minutes for Stevens and then either Diakite or Lopez

Okoro out would just equals minutes tacked on for LeVert, Cedi, and Rubio.

Then again, “questionable” often results in the players playing so who knows

well crud. The exact scenario we need Green, Wade, & Neto for and they are all out.

I'm okay with Stevens matching up against Collins. So JA being out isn't a big deal.

Just don't drive DG, Mitchell, or Mobley into the ground by playing them 42 minutes.

Uh Fedora just say they;re being rested for the playoffs..

All praise to our lord and savior Donovan Mitchell whom none of this would be possible without.

Well first of all, through Donovan Mitchell all things are possible. So jot that down

i want them to get the third seed. Philly lost last night so Cavs are 1.5 games back from #3. Can't sit the entire team and still win. Guess they dont care and are happy at the 4 spot?

Philly still needs to lose 3 more games than us regardless of what happens tonight. If we lose tonight, the Cavs would need to win all 5 of their remaining games and Philly would need to go 3-4.

I really dont get why folks keep using "games behind" to give themselves hope of the Cavaliers catching Philly. If they were 1 or 2 games behind in the loss column--MAYBE. But needing the team ahead of you to lose 4 MORE games than you, with 8 games left to play, just isn't a realistic thing to root for.

I mean, depends on what you view as realistic. Philly was without Embiid and Harden yesterday and every game they have left could have playoff implications. They play both Boston and Milwaukee. They're 6-4 in their last 10 games.

I'd give a 20% chance or so at them losing 4 more games than us, more if Embiid stays out.

Except that the number is 3, and not 4. And we have an easy schedule, while theirs is brutal.

3, not 4.

If the Cavs win out (54 wins), Philly could finish 4-3 and end up with 53 wins. They would have to lose to Milwaukee on the road, Boston at home, and one other game. Harden has missed the last three games. It's possible for the Cavs to finish in 3rd, but not likely.

If they beat Atlanta tonight, which is their toughest remaining game other than the Knicks at home, it's more likely.

I could totally see us getting the 3rd seed. Philly has a brutal schedule & seeding is in play. They'll have to play their stars heavy minutes if they want to hold on to 3rd.
