Well.
It is what it is.
This is what I wanted to see. The Cavs compete.
I’m glad John-Blair Bickerstaff didn’t play Okoro over 15 minutes. I look forward to the lineup put out Friday.

 

[Goldin Brown]

I dont understand how Lamar Stevens gets in the 2nd quarter, plays good D, scores a bit and brings the energy back....and then never sees the floor again. WTF

I think they just decided to shorten the rotation. Nine man rotation in the 1st half and then basically went to a 7 man rotation in the 2nd half, Stevens and Okoro were pulled.

 

[Real Deal]

Okoro cannot start on Friday

Cannot start on anyday

 

[Rich]

Thought Rondo, LeVert, Love, Garland, Markennen, and Mobley all did themselves proud in that 2nd half.


I know Rondo wasn't "good" but I thought he played in the pesky, annoying way he needs to to help and he never, ever quit.

Markennen, LeVert, and Garland were all pretty shell-shocked in the 1st quarter by how intense it was but thought they all recovered and figured it out. Hopefully they carry that over into the next one.

Mobley's ceiling is crazy high. Crazy, crazy high. He just came back like two games ago from a sprained ankle, this is his first playoff game and he's 19 and he wasn't out of his depth at all.

 

[Mr. Orange]

One step closer to the lottery!

 

[Real Deal]

Wtf is Kyrie doing lmao.

No water? Never heard of that

 

[benchplayer]

You can’t start Okoro on Friday

you shouldn't start okoro period! make him earn his minutes

 

[Hurl Bruce]

Cavs won 3/4 of the quarters. Just shit the bed in the first.

 

[hud11]

Can we trade Okoro for brown right now?

 

[catfish]

One step closer to the lottery!

I think we will win on Friday

 

[bigfoot5415]

Closing line of the decade just happened

SVG: "does it look like I've ever fasted?"

 

[Hurl Bruce]

On the bright side, the Cavs covered the 8.5 spread.

 

[stick]

Cavs outscored the Nets in every quarter except for the first.

 

[JDailey23]

It’s pretty simple. The Nets have 2 stars. They won in the 1st half and held on. It’s encouraging. Go Cleveland

 

[catfish]

Wtf is Kyrie doing lmao.

No water? Never heard of that

He is going gray pretty fast.
