In other news, grass is still green, sky blue.

No Rubio means there is no excuse not to play Neto…

 

[Wham with the Right Hand]

Definitely light at guard tonight with both Rubio and Mitchell out. Looks like Garland, LeVert, and Neto will have to carry the load, although we may see Okoro playing the 2 like he did last year, which leaves Cedi and Stevens at the 3. With Love out we need Wade at the 4.

That's a lot of minutes for Garland, LeVert, Mobley, and Allen since Wade is probably still somewhat limited. And we're on the second night of a back-to-back. For the Cavs to come out with a Dub we're going to need solid performances from Neto, Cedi, Okoro, Wade, and Stevens, or at least three of them.

What are the weirdest NBA names you can recall? I offer World B. Free and Jamari Moon, although Melvin Turpin is up there.

Jaron Blossomgame. Diamond Stone. Corperryale L'Adorable "Manny" Harris. Joe Smith.

We're starting this thread with laughter. This'll be a good thread. We'll win this game. We'll lead most of the way, but they'll keep coming back. People will foul out defending Mobley and Allen. SGA will get his points, but he'll work hard. Mobley and Allen will each get at least two blocks.

60% chance of winning. 114-101 Cavs.

Saying World B Free who was born Floyd Free and not mentioning the name change of Ron Artest to Metta World Peace is criminal.

And dont give me Kareem from Lew Alcinder, religious name changes are not in the same relm as the strangeness of Metta World Peace.

This game will go as Mobley does. If Mobley is 20 and 10 we win. If not we'll I'm not liking our chances. OKC is scrapy and relentless.

Unlike last night this will be a real test. Unfortunately it feels like a loss to me. Last night I guaranteed us a win, tonight I cannot do that

 

[letgocavs]

Damn game 51 already?

 

[Randolphkeys]

Holy hell, when's the last time the Cavs had two days off in a row to recuperate? As a fan, I'm exhausted. I miss my children, finding out how there day is going.

This going to be a tough game for the Cavs because the Thunder plays “street ball”….a lot of their offense is strictly one on one (SAG being best of them) and they haven’t always been the best matchup for us because of it!

 

[Futuredome]

Mobley needs to learn how to play like a thug

 

[Kepler]

nice
