Live Thread: Cavs @ Clippers

2024-04-07 Off By Nate Smith

Good afternoon, Cavs fans. The wine and gold end a brutal road trip in LA today with their final regular season road game. Cleveland will be missing Donovan Mitchell (load management), Dean Wade, and Ty Jerome, with Isaac Okoro and Craig Porter Junior apparently healthy enough to return to the floor. Let’s hope they can contain the dribble penetration that has been plaguing Cleveland since the all star break.

Meanwhile the Clippers will be missing Kawhi Leonard, Daniel Theis, and Josh Primo. You have to hope that the expanding wing and perimeter depth helps Cleveland keep up, but my worry is that JB plays too many lineups that can’t shoot. We’ll see how virulent that “L.A. flue” is, and if afternoon games continue to be the Cavs’ Waterloo. Go Cleveland.
