2023-24 Season | Game #46 | Cavs @ Grizzlies | Feb. 1, 2023 | 8:00 p.m.

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
That was certainly more entertaining than I thought! We were down for much of the game and finally got going in the 4th. We lost Allen to a twisted ankle, but Wade looked very good out there.

Mitchell played like Mitchell, but Strus was the JYD.

JYD chain could go to several players; Wade for solid contributions on both ends, Sam the Man for back to back threes in the 4th to give some momentum; Strus for coming alive late and notching a double-double but I’m going off the board with Damian Jones for some excellent minutes when pressed into unexpected emergency duty (and because he hasn‘t won one before )
 
I have a feeling that the Cavs are going to destroy in the second half. With a double digit win. That was an ugly and unenergetic half. The Cavs let themselves be manhandled. I expect an angry second half.
Welp I was wrong. But they played well enough to win.

Really hope Allen is ok.
 
Strus, Niang have that swagger. Sam, CPJ were quite the finds over the past year.

Solid job by Koby

Strus and Niang would have prevented the team from falling apart mentally last year
 
Really love Wade. He played really well against JJJ especially with Allen going out. He fought hard on the boards too and had some key defensive rebounds in that stretch. Made 2 3s as well and he’s playing like a 3 and D player.

Sniper Sammy was sniping 2 3s in that 4th helped big time in that little stretch. Glad JBB played him minutes tonight and especially with Donovan out there.

Even Damian Jones was key in that 3rd quarter. The and-1 from Garland gave him a little confidence.

Just little things like these contributions from our key role players change the game. Well done.
 
Looking over the stats it appears that JA’s streak has come to an end despite the Bally’s crew stating that he notched one in the first half
