    Not this time. Cavs just got punished by the Nuggets Friday, Squeeked by the Suns on Sunday then lost to the Jazz yesterday and that game just got over at 10 pm last night then they had to get here and play tonight. This is the 4th game of a 5 game trip and the second of a B2B.
    Blazers on the other hand are looking for a win and are as hungry as you will ever see them. This is the first real "Home Game without travel" in the last 3 1/2 weeks.

    Cavs are ripe for the picking.

    Blazers win this going away.

    We all watched that happen in the third bro. Sorry. Your post was about some mysterious injury he is hiding. That isn't the case. He's fine.
    Yes he will play. No there isn't some major injury holding him back.

    lets see if they show a character for a change

    they can lose the game, but they should play with effort, to show that they care

    they usually start the games slow, fall behind and then they have to fought their way back

    it would be nice to set the tone early, build the lead or at least, at least, not fall behind by double digits

    we have multiple issues, but the effort is the main one, without effort, you will lose many games, as we are doing

    Cavs played the Jazz on Tuesday. Not a B2B tonight for them.

    Cavs are a good team, but any team can be beaten on any night in this league. I just want to see some fucking fire and hustle tonight. I always hate to say that our players don't look like they give a damn, but in this bad stretch we are on, that has been the case imo. Get your ass down the court, make a pass like you actually are in the NBA, and give the fans something to cheer about.

    If the Cavs guards get going, look out. It’s gonna be a long night.

    This can be said about the Blazer guards as well.

    Yeah, I remember seeing the play, just didn’t realize it was going to affect/affect him enough to miss a game. Might be a perfect night to take off.
