Jarrett Allen “Eyeing a Return”

[Prof123]

Terry Pluto wrote an article with the following headline. Before reading the article, I had two guesses as to what he meant by "this." Turns out my second choice was correct. For those who didn't read the article, what are your guesses? (Yes, the candidates are pretty obvious.)

Cavs & J.B. Bickerstaff have struggled with this all year. Now is time to figure it out"​

Before I read the column I guessed he was referring to inbound passes, but that was not it.

would have thought inbound passes. Toughness is an issue. Turnovers, guards not sharing the ball and sloppy play late in games are also issues.

Cavs feel ‘extremely fortunate’ Jarrett Allen’s eye injury isn’t worse, believe he will recover quickly

For Cleveland and Jarrett Allen, it’s the best-case scenario given the scary-looking swipe he received from Miami’s Bam Adebayo in the 119-115 loss Friday night.

Cavs center Jarrett Allen’s injured right eye is bloodshot and puffy, with a visible bruise around the area below his bottom eyelid, but he was able to avoid any structural damage and could be back in the lineup sooner rather than later.​

Not sure JBB is self-aware enough to realize OOB plays have been a struggle

The Cavs SHOULD be able to handle the Hornets without Jarrett. Don’t want to jinx them, but this is a game they should come out and handle.

Now Philly on Wednesday? Hopefully he can give it a go, if for no other reason than my company for a suite for this game and I’ll be there hoping to see the Cavs beat the Sixers in person twice this year.

this really has to happen. Which of our insiders can get these goggles and gift them to JA personally?

Yes, that is what I thought it would be, too -- inbounds passes.

 

[Cavatt]

No Mitchell either

Good news! Odd phrasing, 'one of the two games'. I can't imagine a scenario where JA plays the first game and doesn't play the second. If he's good enough for the first, he's good enough for the second.

This injury is already taking more time than I expected for a bruise, even one near the eye. Unless the eye itself was bruised. But they never said the eye was bruised. Just the lower eyelid and cheek.

Seems I read somewhere that his eye was swollen shut. That takes some time before you'd want to expose him to another potential blow on the court.
