I am afraid this is where the streak ends boys. Looks like no Mitchell since the ESPN site said players to watch was Mobley when it is always Mitchell when he plays. I would assume everyone else is playing but not going to beat the 2nd place West team without your best player on the road.
It would been nice to break that 15 game streak we started the year with but looks like that won't be happening now.

PIP’s alts used to be funny. Step up your game. Old age is no excuse for lazy takes.
 
Giving 2.5 on the road without best player against a very good team.

My wife and I drove to the game from Alabama. Happen to be staying at the same hotel as the Cavs. Saw Mobley, Garland, Allen, Strus, and Wade in the lobby! We got 7th row behind the Cavs bench, super pumped!

So Javonte Green can't even be in the lobby with the boys?

What a fucking jerk he's turned out to be...

3. LEAGUE PASS SPOTLIGHT: CAVS GO FOR SWEET 16 VS. GRIZZLIES

The Cleveland Cavaliers are one of seven teams in NBA history with at least 55 wins through 65 games played. And they show no signs of slowing down anytime soon.

The Cavs are eyeing their 16th straight win as they head to Memphis to take on Ja Morant and the Grizzlies (8 ET). It’s the second time the Cavs have won 15 straight games after starting the season 15-0.

  • Sweet 16: The last team to win 16 straight in a season was the Milwaukee Bucks in 2022-23
  • By Committee: Cleveland is pacing to become the sixth team in NBA history to win 65+ games in a season without a player averaging 25+ ppg (Donovan Mitchell leads Cleveland at 24.2 ppg)
  • How Far Can They Go? Cleveland would need to finish the season 15-2 in order to capture 70 wins, joining the 1995-96 Bulls and the 2015-16 Warriors as the only teams to reach the feat

Both offenses have been exceptional – ranking 1st (Cavs 122.7) and 2nd (Grizzlies 122.6) in points per game – with each employing their own unique, and sometimes similar, strategies to get the job done.

  • Pass the Rock: Both teams are in the top eight for assists (Grizzlies 28.9, Cavs 28.4) and top nine for assists points created (Cavs 74.3, Grizzlies 73.2)
  • Efficient Buckets: Both teams rank in the top six in FG% (Cavaliers 49.4%, Grizzlies 48.1%)
  • To the Rack: The Grizzlies attack the transition game, leading the league in transition scoring (33.2 ppg) and ranking second in points off drives (32.6 ppg)
  • Mastering the PNR: Cleveland ball handlers score a league-high 24.8 ppg off pick-and-rolls
Calm Under Pressure: Darius Garland and Ja Morant continue to answer the call when their teams need them the most in clutch time. The stars are two of eight players in the NBA to score at least 70 points in the clutch on at least 45% shooting and 35% from three.

  • Garland leads the NBA with a plus/minus of +92 in the clutch
  • Morant leads the Grizzlies with a plus/minus of +44 in the clutch

Is this emblematic of the NBA, that there is no comparison of the two defenses?
 
Carmelo Anthony. Stephen A Smith. Charles Barkley. Weird ass 8 PM start times.

Go back to forgetting we exist, please.
 
Shame Memphis doesn't still play in the pyramid.
