Tristan Thompson, the Cavs ironman, unfortunately was sidelined with a sprained thumb. He is expected to miss the Atlanta game tonight as well. However, he’s cheering from afar.

The Cavs do it their way, lost three straight, win four straight and destroy your top opposition in your conference. Don’t be fooled, they’ve done this for three years now.

Skip Bayless: Cavs’ win is ‘meaningless’ | Fox Sports
Much like his new show, this Cavs win lacks meaning according to LeBron hater, Skip Bayless. After criticizing him for resting and now acting all upset that Lebron is playing too many minutes, Bayless is continually pouring the hate on LeBron, going as far as to say that Drew Gooden was better than Enes Kanter or Steven Adams to slander LBJ’s accomplishment of making the Finals in 2007 vs. Westbrook’s outstanding season this year.
On Mar. 30 the Bayless-led Undisputed drew 91,000 viewers.
On same day/slot: a 1981 episode of M*A*S*H on WGN America drew 319,000. #Excuse https://t.co/Qg9Wjqi2dR— Richard Deitsch (@richarddeitsch) April 5, 2017
Millsap is likely to sit tonight…. should win and hope Celtics lose sunday to clinch 1 seed.
If Cavs play to win against the Hawks the next two, Atlanta could easily wind up being their first round opponent…
Skip Bayless is the worst. How is ESPN still maintaining so much of the sports market? Their shows are filled with talking heads who are spouting off click bait without actually watching the Cavs more than the nationally televised games.
Skip hasn’t been on ESPN for nearly a year.
Goes to show just how much I pay attention to ESPN. What network is he on now?
Fox Sports.
ESPN is actually on a steady downward spiral right now. Cable subscriptions are down and the network has made drastic cost reductions such as jettisoning high paid commentators. After being a signing star for Disney for many years, ESPN is now hurting their earnings.
And the contracts ESPN have signed with pro sports are an albatross. I wont miss the ESPN
