Live Thread: Cavs vs Hornets
2024-04-14Happy fan appreciation day, Cavs fans. Cleveland wraps up the regular season this afternoon against Charlotte. The Cavs are sitting Mitchell, Garland, Merrill, Caris LeVert, and Dean Wade. No word on the status of Ty Jerome.
The best scenario is Pacers, Cavs, Magic, Knicks win today… The Cavs get the 3 seed vs the Pacers. For Charlotte, well, anyone who was ever good at basketball is not going to be playing today. Enjoy the Cavs playing a team trying to lose. Go Cavs.
LT up. Sorry guys.
Nate put up a new feed for this game.
OK Mobley I’m here for it
Ok Mobes. I like it.
For a glorious few moments, we had just the crowd without the announcers.
Lol yep. Just commented the same. I wish there was an option to watch it like that.
Espn feed has no commentary for me at the moment. Just hear the game noise. It’s fantastic
I jinxed it. Was great while it lasted.
God it was glorious before Burke came back in
I hope that the locked-in Cavs show up today.
Strus opens with a yes.
Man do I hate the ESPN crew
HOPE IT ISNT A NIGHTMARE SIMMO 👍
No Wade or Porter jr.
bummer
GO CAVS 🏀🦾💪
Go Cavs!
C’mon Cavs!
Enjoy the game all – hoping to wake up to a good result!!
Via Athletic: No. 4 Cleveland Cavaliers vs. No. 5 Orlando Magic Scout’s outlook: I’m going to pick Cleveland there. More experience. Orlando’s very young. … The Magic are very good defensively, but they’re going to struggle to score. Beyond Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner, they’re not a very good offensive team, and when teams can focus more defensively on Banchero and Wagner, Orlando’s going to have trouble. Cleveland’s had an up-and-down year. … But a lot of that was injuries. Darius Garland did not have a great year, but he broke his jaw and he lost a bunch of weight.… Read more »
A key with the young Orlando team is going to be, even though it’s their first rodeo, they’ll have Banchero’s presence; his paint touches and ability to get to the free-throw line will be crucial. Then, Mitchell’s presence for Cleveland: Can he be at that All-Star level? Obviously, they’re going to put a lot on him and Garland in the backcourt. Can they get that secondary guy to help them? I think it’s going to be a heck of a series, a fun series to watch. I’m going to go with the Cavaliers in seven games. Executive’s outlook: At the… Read more »
This all reads as bang on.
It makes the last 6 or so weeks all the more damaging to the long-term future of this squad. For the Cavs to avoid the 2nd round loss, they needed to come into the playoffs with more health and experience. It will take a crazy reversal of form to win and thus keep Mitchell.
If / when a Mitchell trade happens, Koby needs to be merciless. It needs to be the opposite of the Irving trade.
TNT Picks – Cavs vs Magic
Shaq: Orlando
Kenny: Cleveland
Chuck: Orlando

I’m glad the Heat won. They’ll cause problems for Boston.
