I think guys like Mckinney and possibly even Malcolm Hill have more value to an NBA team than Troy brown. Brown doesn't do anything well

Tyler Cook and Alex Caruso are expected to play/be available tonight

 

[Scoot26]

Can we be less bad edition

No.

 

[clonetrooper264]

No.

I will set the loss over/under at 25 points

 

[Scoot26]

Caruso will be on limited minutes, so I'm not sure how much impact he actually has.

 

[DirtyDutchDiggler]

With this starting line-up......No. Right now, we are basically in the same situation we were last year. Right now we know what the team somewhat looks like fully healthy. It is now safe to say, regular season does not matter and lets get healthy for the playoffs. (I still think a move needs to be made.)

 

[clonetrooper264]

Caruso will be on limited minutes, so I'm not sure how much impact he actually has.

Tyler Cook has a higher chance to make an impact given the Cavs triple big man lineup. But he's also Tyler Cook so not expecting much there

 

[Raskolnikov]

Wow. Cleveland is a much bigger surprise than us.
They win tonight they about passed a strong bulls start with a bunch of kids.(and we have 3 all-stars and a Ball)

 

[clonetrooper264]

I'll just take this moment to say Darius Garland is a problem, dude is balling out this year. They've managed to give Kevin Love purpose even though he's coming off the bench too. Give this Cavs team credit, they are making the most of their talent

Very good defensively. Mobley and Allen are a problem. Allen is actually a scoring threat now as well. Its a well coach team. They miss Rubio, but team has a bright future.

For sure. The critics were laughing at them for signing Allen to that contract but he's proving worth it. Mobley was gonna be a great pick for anyone and he's fitting in well with what they're trying to do. Rubio was having a resurgence before that ACL took him out, lots of potential on this team

 

[Enasic]

Another L. Yayyy

 

[RC_Skinny22]

Even if it ends in another L.

The one thing I wanna see tonight is effort!

 

[Zion]

I guess this is just gonna be the season, guys in and out of the lineup. I saw Durant is out with a knee too so it's not just us.

This season needs two all-star breaks.

 

[knoxville7]

Playing with more energy to start this one at least

 

[knoxville7]

It’s Lauri vs Coby lol

 

[knoxville7]

@Scoot26 i think demar is okay lol

Cleveland doesn’t have anyone to guard him

Or did he just come out of his slump?

 

[knoxville7]

Or did he just come out of his slump?

Matchup is playing a factor either way…they keep having to put bigger guys that can’t keep up with him on him
