Oy vey.

The hell is wrong with this team? They are always injured. This is basketball not football.

Garland had 41 points and 13 assist in tonight's win over the pacers!

Great game.

And they covered the -2.5 with the Stevens free throw at the end!

Need to keep winning these type games with Allen out. LeVert could be back next week.

we not talking cavs? did yall not witness the huge W we got against the nuggets last night?

Great game. 2nd OT win in our last 3 games, with a narrow loss to the 76'ers in the middle.

I hope we get Allen back before the playoffs, although Mobley has stepped up huge playing minutes at Center.

Great game last night. And vs the Nuggets and a possible MVP candidate. Mobley has stepped his game up. Garland seems to healthy, hope his back holds up. LeVert seems to be pressing on the offensive end, defense is really good though.

Gotta get the win tonight vs the Pistons. Really big game!!!

Another win for the Cavaliers tonight.

glad we got the W and keeping pace in the seeding!

Lebron oversell much?

LeBron was unreal

lol bro he legit got hit and still managed to flop. give this man an oscar.

i liked how he genuinely felt bad for posterizing Love hahaha

We are going to have a rough time without Allen and Wade. Our frontline rotations have really been put through their paces ..... Really all of our rotations all year long.

Yeah this team overachieved this year but they aren't really that good. There's still quite a few holes and the injuries really setback any chance at a run, on the bright side, they grew up as a team, might get into the playoffs and next year will be ready to rise through the east. We need some better depth and we still need upgrade at backup PG and 2/3. Love falling off the face of the earth post ASB didn't help things, but losing allen was pretty much nail in coffin. We have some exceptional talent at PG, PF and C. Some guys playing more minutes than they should due to injuries and Altman not doing too much at deadline. I think alot of that had to do with the team being farther than projections and sticking to the plan. I hope they do get in and get some experience this year

Youth, injuries and folding under expectations. This team has not had a good second half. Kevin love should be arrested for robbery. Man they should have moved him. Outside of garland and Allen this is a team of meh. Those two make the team go. I think next season we will see a pretty nice step forward. I would expext lavert to be a bigger piece . Not sure what you do with sexton though. Would he be ok off bench. I think they move him around draft

j/c:



I'm guessing it will pertain to sports betting.

j/c...

Of course.

Of course this happens when I have tix to their game on Thursday.

Lovely.

The whole medical and strength team need scrapped. Never seen a team with this many injuries

I don't know. I play fantasy sports. I play in 2 basketball leagues as a bridge between football and my favorite, baseball.

This whole basketball season, all of our teams have been crippled with injury. It's league wide. When you go to pick up a player for an injured player, the first top 20 or so players on the FA list are all injured.

Then when you pick up a guy, he gets injured inside of 4 games.

yeah but this team has had a good majority of its starting unit out at all points. I mean Garland had to play 40 minutes to eek out a win against a lottery team last night.. Thats not sustainable. I think regardless this season they are several steps ahead of where I think anyone thought they would be.. I think another offseason and this team will be ready to contend seriously next year. The fact they are so young is good and bad, right now is the bad and the good will be when we are able to sustain success for a few years

Okay explain what a new strength and medical team could do:

Jared Allen - broken finger
Evan Mobley - twisted ankle
Lauri Markkanen - banged knees
Colin Sexton - Meniscus knee
Ricky Rubio -ACL no contact

Nothing they could/can do to prevent these types of injuries

strength, flexibility, proper wrapping ..theres been more injuries than this. Markkanen did more than "bang knees" Sure ones like Allen is bad luck for sure and Rubio was probably the biggest loss on the team by a wide margin. I will concede that NBA scheduling isn't doing the players any favors.

BIG NEWS!

I guess that's what goes for Big news in cleveland during NFL offseason

I was at this game tonight. We played terrible. Except for Garland. No defense. No energy. Nothing. Atlanta did whatever they wanted.

In fairness, no Allen, no Mobley, and no Wade makes it a tough go.

I know that. I'm just mad because I like winning.

And I had to sit in front of a guy yelling "OVERRATED" every time Garland touched the ball.

j/c:

Picture is a definition of KARMA. Rest up.

Welp ...... the season crashes to a miserable thud.


It was a nice turnaround though. Too bad we has so-so many injuries.

Don't we get one more game to try to get into the playoffs?

Do we?

I really don't know the new play in rules.

Yep, Cavs will play the winner of the CLT/ATL at home in CLE this Friday for the 8th seed. Would prefer to face CLT.

Hopefully, Allen is back for that game.

Hopefully we win Friday night and make the playoffs as the 8 seed and play Miami, would love for this team to get a true playoff experience.

But if we lose, we get to keep that #1 draft pick this draft. A lot of good players to pick from. And maybe we trade Lavert and get a first back for him, with Sexton coming back for next season we wont need him and Lavert.
