Honestly I feel depressed about these losses. They have exposed that if we dont have our starting lineup doing their averages, there is no "next man up". Cavs have alot of "intensity" guys. Guys that work really hard but dont actually produce anything if they are given extended playing time or more touches.

Yeah, our "intensity" guys are Okoro, Stevens, and Osman. They try hard but are limited offensively and in Cedi's case, defensively as well.

Cedi being limited "offensively" is eye of the beholder.

Toronto’s isn’t much easierand they have to overtake us as we have the tiebreaker.

With the way we’re playing I don’t have much confidence that’s for sure. But say Garland and Mobley go on a 4 game tear and we win the next 4 and Toronto takes 2-3 losses. Like…unlikely? Very. Impossible? No. But something like that could save our guaranteed playoff spot.

We don't have the information we need to decide where we'll end up. When will Allen come back? When will Markkanen come back? If next week, I'm not worried. If next month, we'll probably be in the play-in.

Cavs had one made 3 point basket in the entire second half.

The most glaring thing about this team. And the thing that will hold the team back in the future. Hopefully the return of some players mitigates this somewhat. But really, it's Darius, Lauri, Cedi, Kev and then hopes and prayers when it comes to 3 shooting. Even the Pistons have players that can pull it off. Hell, Blake freakin Griffin was dropping 3s on the Cavs when he was there.
