2023-24 Season | Game #30 | Cavs @ Bulls | Dec. 23, 2023 | 8:00 p.m.

This thing is a mile long.

Lonzo Ball hasn't played this season, Bitum has played 3 minutes, and the other names on the Bulls' list haven't been playing since they started winning with the exception of Craig, who was playing up until a week ago. They have almost everybody who has been helping them win 8 of 11.

I stand corrected; Merrill is also questionable so if he and LeVert are both out then our only remaining healthy guards are Porter and Strus, and Strus is out starting small forward. We might have to start Porter, Strus, Okoro, Wade, and Allen with the bench being Thompson, Jones, Niang, Bates, and Brobley. IOW, an exhibition game.

Ugh. Without Mitchell this smells like a loss. I certainly expected him back by now. But, if he had COVID, like I did this month, it can take a week or two to get better.

I'm impatient for these injuries and absences to go away. What happened to the old days when starters all played 36-40 minutes?

On the road I'd say we only have a 40% chance of winning. We have to shoot the lights out, play good defense, and keep the turnovers down.
If we do that then we may eke out a victory like 118-115.

This thing is a mile long.

Somehow they are missing even more dudes than us

This is getting more than a little frustrating. This is game #30 and we have barely seen our whole team together. Hell, it seems like more nights than not we’ve had two or more key players out. And now we are talking 3 and 4 major guys out

 

[ice cream man]

Where’s Brandon Goodwin when you need him

 

[2 For The Brew]

We’re so thin at guard Pangos would get minutes.

[Tlyons]

Injury report is nuts lol

 

[foucault87]

Hopefully Christmas break will be good for the guys and we get a new coach

 

[red.]

Patrick Williams a much better player this season. Colby White has been playing better without Zach L.

 

[Tlyons]

Make Caruso a scorer

 

[Rich]

Look at that pass man I'm telling you this PG has star potential.

 

[Dr No]

We are going to have to keep nailing 3’s. Good start

This is me putting my negative hat on combined with my conspiracy theory hat:

Austin Brown, the agent shared by LeVert and Mitchell, is letting JBB know he doesn't want his main guy playing two straight games wherein he plays the entire 2nd half. And if that keeps happening, he can make this right here happen.
