2023-24 Season | Game #80 | Grizzlies @ Cavs | April 10, 2024 | 7:00 p.m.

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Honestly- none of the East teams worry me except Philly and Boston. Then the maybe the Knicks but I hate hate hate when Cleveland plays New York Teams in the playoffs (partially because I live here)...

My preference:
Magic
Pacers
Bucks
Heat
Knicks
The Knicks should concern us based on a experienced defensive minded coach with a deep roster with many good defenders(OG, Hart, Robinson)

Not who I’d want to face in the first round at all
 
Whoever we play in the first round if it’s the magic the brothers are extra physical and we already know with New York, I hope that doesn’t fly. I expect Mobley or Allen to get into it with someone. No one is talking about turning basketball into mma, but just standing up for yourself
Tonight? Against the Grizzlies????
 
We should want to play the teams that lack either defensive identity, defensive talent, or both. Plus obviously inexperience in round one.

So to me that means ORL or IND

Need this offense to *hopefully* gain confidence and ryfhymn before going up against a team coached by Spo , Nurse, or Thibs

The caveat of course that if Giannis truly isn’t playing in the first round, you’d feel pretty good going up against the Bucks(although Lillard going into Dame Time with no Giannis to give the ball to might concern me a bit)
If Giannis-less Bucks w/ healthy Middleton VS Magic and Pacers are my options I’m absolutely picking Pacers. I want no parts in a Dame led, Bucks team with healthy Middleton. I also want no parts in what Pablo B is about to do to the league in the playoffs. I really respect that kid and feel he’s a problem RIGHT NOW.

Halliburton scares me but i feel like his game won’t translate to the playoffs so I’d rather face them first. I also feel our best players matchup with theirs but If im being completely honest…..i think we’ll lose to ANYONE we play because of poor coaching so i don’t even wanna make playoffs with this roster
 
There are no records once the playoffs start :) get there as healthy as possible and get home court please...

despite my grumbling all season, still feel like the cavs are capable of beating and/or losing to any other team in the east (other than the celtics).

not sure if that is a compliment or a curse, but actually do believe it.
 
Weak minutes from the sl champs today. They need to get more time
 
Well hopefully the first half was the low point of the season and they can play better on Friday. I’m not optimistic, but a sliver of hope remains.
 
I want to play the knick. And beat them then phillt then boston then the lakers
My dream opponent is NYK

Only because losing to them AGAIN like bitches would tell me everything i need to know about JBB and everyone on this roster.

If we played them Tristian Thompson would be my first big off the bench
 
if the heat does not complete their rally tonight, it may be done. not sure on the sixers/cavs tiebreaker.
Cavs still need a Sixers loss or
Cavs win to stay clear of play in. Sixers would have better conf record tie breaker if they win out and the Cavs lose out.
 
Glad JBB & boys figured out they were playing a high school on a backtoback.
 
I thought you were saying we needed to get tough with #55.
My first message I was saying Mobley needs to get into his face. You replied and I see your point of view and am saying in the playoffs they are going to get bullied like last playoffs and it’s time to get in peoples faces.
