Nice win for the Cavs - figured this one and Orlando are our two wins in the last five, which should be enough to hold onto the 7 seed and give us two home games at worst. Steal a game to finish 3-2 and we're basically a lock for the 7. The Brooklyn/Atlanta game tonight is a big one for seeding as well. Can't belive the minority here that would prefer the Cavs miss the playoffs, but I guess you'll always have a few. I'm excited to JA and Mobley back and hope to get a full series at a minimum.
As for today's game, Caris seems to be finding his role and has moved the ball much better. He's had his stretches of dribbling into a collapsing defense and taking the mid range shots we've all heard about, but I've liked the way he and DG have played off of each other the past couple games. If DG hits a few more of the open catch and shoot 3s that Levert found him for, this game could've been blown open even earlier and Caris' line would look even better. Garland put up great numbers again and only played 36 minutes which hasn't quieted the group that keeps JBB's minutes management under a microscope. I'd like to see Goodwin as well for like 3 minutes bridging the 3rd and 4th quarters but with all of the injuries, I can see why DG's been up around 40 mpg.
Moses had a great game and seems to be a good project going forward. I don't think he necessarily needs minutes when our big men are back, but he's someone I can see being a backup center with some development.
