2023-24 Season | Game #61 | Celtics @ Cavs | March 5, 2024 | 7:30 p.m. | TNT

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
If we really don't have Mitchell, Strus, Okoro, and LeVert, we have exactly one person formally listed as a SG on the active roster and that is Merrill. The only SF is probably Niang unless you count Bates. I'm expecting we'll see some Porter/Garland backcourts. JBB might even break out the old three big frontcourts with Wade at SF.

With the Charge playing on the 3rd and 9th at home, we could see the entire Charge contingent on the bench (Bates, I. Mobley, Nance, and Cooper). In case you were wondering, the Charge won on Sunday, with Bates scoring 21 points, 8 boards, and 4 assists, and 5-11 from 3, Cooper scored 19 points with 4 assists, and Nance had 9 points, 9 rebounds, and 2 blocked shots. I. Mobley was inactive.

My one wish and hope for this game is that Darius Garland can get through the whole game without ramming his own face into the hip of Porzingas.
Or getting a layup swatted.

Not ramming his face into Porzingis' hip will be easier if Porzingis is in street clothes on the bench.
 
No matter who suits up for us and Boston I want to see the Cavs play with fire and passion. After the Knicks' game JBB said the Cavs can't "pick and choose" when to play their best. Players said they need a better "effort". That starts tonight.

I want to see them to compete like it's a playoff game. If they do I'll be fine with the result whatever it is. I especially want to see Mobley and Allen going for it. I want the entire team to be aggressive and physical. Tatum is going to hit some jaw dropping shots and so is Brown if he plays, but the Cavs need to keep grinding.
 
Mitchell's injury must be serious. No reports on how serious? He definitely was laboring in the OT game. He probably shouldn't have played considering how passive he was in that game.
 
Just saw JB said “hope he’s not out a month”. Not sure the context but Donovan missing a month would torpedo this team to the play-in
