Cavs announced Mike Miller wont be starting this game and instead Tristan Thompson will start.

Smart move. Miller was TERRIBLE on defense and let Dunleavy score ~10 points in the 1st quarter which is what led to their early lead.

I'm assuming Perkins will be getting some PT and Blatt will want to have Mozgov or TT in at all times so Perkins and Marion will be the guys giving them a little rest.

Kyrie\Shumpert\LeBron will be averaging ~42+ minutes the rest of the series with small breaks from Dunleavy and James Jones.

Gonna be rough but it's the playoffs. Ready for JR to be back tomorrow. Might see LeBron at the 4 and JR and Shumpert at 2\3.

That would be a TON of spacing. I'll be satisfied with a win tonight and 1 win in Chicago. Wouldn't be surprised if we win both in chicago with JR back.

I would. I'm hoping for a 2-2 series coming back to Cleveland. I think the Cavs would be in good shape if that happens. If game 1 was any indication, Kyrie has to play Superman in this series.

I seriously doubt that happens.

The Cavs aren't some great team without Kevin Love.

Put it this way, if Lebron doesn't win his matchup with Butler tonight, Cleveland is not winning tonight and this series is over.

Well I might as well not even watch any remaining games if this happens.

It's not like the Cavs have the two best players in this series and get a key player back game 3.

Take it easy, I want the Cavs to lose as much as anyone, but let's not call any series "over" with Lebron and Kyrie involved.

Go Bulls. Hope you guys win tonight.

If I'm measuring them in Coldstone serving sizes, Rose is a Love It, and Kyrie is a Gotta Have It.

Reminder that Peej predicted the Bulls...I'll never feel confident until they get that 4th victory.

Right now..

Kyrie is borderline top 5 PG

Rose is borderline top 10 PG

Where you want to rank them as overall players is up to you.

one matchup like that wont control this series
and neither will going down 2-0 against the Bulls with JR coming back.

I'm ready to see how D Rose looks with only 1 nights rest. Seems odd that the stats show he actually is much worse with only 1 days rest

And I think that is being somewhat generous given how inefficient he is, even when he is playing relatively well (see the last game as an example).

Cavs need to shut down that wide open Pau jumper. I'd rather lose with players going off than giving Pau shooting practice.

They thought leaving him alone was a smart idea. They thought wrong

D rose, jimmy butler, and gasol all went off for 20 and they shot 55% from 3

Those things won't happen again. Cavs win by 11 tonight

I've got the Cavs by 3 tonight. Hopefully I'm wrong.
