I'm up to about a 70% chance of a win tonight. I think the last loss set poorly with the team and everyone will put in effort on defense. I expect to score a lot off turnovers. Houston may get some 3s to stay close, and Alperin will get some points, but I'll be surprised if we win by less than 15 points.

125-106 Cavs

So who's shooting out of their minds tonight for Houston?

Eric Gordon? Sengun has been balling. Will be interested how Mobley and Allen do against him. My guess is not well.

Alright, negative shit out of the way. I'm sensing some lob city tonight with DG dropping 25 and 12. Mobley about to give us a 20 and 10 tonight. Okoro will go 2/3 from three with great defense. Cedi gets his groove back. Dean hits a couple 3s. Allen double double. Rubio 8 points 5 assists. Vert 18 and 5 assists.

118 -100 Cavs(well with no Love we may keep them under 100)

For back spasms Love is doing and extended pregame shoot around.... missing a ton.

I wonder what's the over/under on the Rockets hitting 15+ threes against us

Cedi rejected by the rim on a dunk attempt in the lay up line

These Houston uniforms remind me of some Washington Bullets/Wizards uniforms of days gone by.

The Cavs offense generates 12 open 3s per game [nearest defender 4-6 feet]. This ranks them at 25th in the NBA.

The Cavs offense generates 16 wide open 3s per game [nearest defender 6+ feet]. This ranks them at 17th in the NBA.

These are attempts, not makes. How is this possible with an offense that includes Mitchell and DG?

You’re looking at total attempts by the team that plays the slowest pace in the league.

Of course those numbers are going to be low.

It becomes a different conversation when you realize wide open 3s makes up nearly 1/4th of our shot attempts per game.
