Glad to help! I just wished I knew how to make those little graphics like Mentality and the spreadsheets too!

Naw, keep it simple. For starters, you've got the correct game score this time. Keep that momentum up.

Cavs are surely sitting Allen so they will be kinda small also. Mobley is fantastic. Cavs have pretty sketchy perimeter D and Allen/Mobley clean up a lot. Our perimeter guys are all about attacking any point of sketchy D so this should be interesting. I think Brunson/Mitchell have a little thing after last year.

Can IQ stay hot?

Obi is gonna have to be light out to break 20 minutes IMO. I think you see him 15-18 minutes and the rest goes to Hart and maybe a Jericho appearance when IHart is at center.

I wanna win. Cle is built to be a long term contender. They have a fantastic core that's going to be a problem for a long time. They are very much a measuring stick team IMO and one that will get better in time. They are younger than we are

Last big game of the year before playoffs. Hope it's a good one

Playoff preview. Very timely, we can see how we match up without Randle. I like the concept of going smaller and faster with better D and ball movement. The switching on D in the 4thQ last game was very impressive. They shut Miami down. I think IQ gets the start and Obi gets his normal rotation minutes. More minutes for both Harts and IQ

Hey Todd come correct for the team No jokes. Great cheerleaders doing it lovely

Small lineup please. Love to see JHart start.

should be interesting. I don't see the game as strategically important for the Cavs as it for the Knicks. they're pretty much locked in at 4 (maybe they think they can catch sixers???) whereas we're trying to fend off the Nuts and the cHeat. That said, they might want to keep peddle on metal to make a statement

We will need a team effort and hoping Grimes and Obi make a statement -- particularly Obi who has looked like a lost puppy dog in many games

Slightly off topic but we play Pacers 2 of last 3 games and Hali/Turner both shut down for season today.

Exactly the bolded. They're (most likely) about to play us in a best of 7 game series...no incentive to give either team a confidence boost going into it.

On the Cavs side - no Okoro, and probably no Allen. Knicks - no Randle.

I can see the Knicks beating Cleveland without Randle (taking another sip of kool-aid, I'm going to extend that to a 7 game series). Definitely comes down to guard play and if Brunson can shine bright in the post season...again. I like Mobley - a lot - but he's not quite dominant yet. I'm sure he'd torch Obi, but I'd like to see Sims on him. I think we could survive until Randle comes back.

That was some of the best reverse - jinxing right there. Resulted in the most important win past the All-Star break. Todd gets fully credit for that win

Has a Selena Gomez-ish look to her. Her talents are wasted in Cleveland.
