Keon Johnson scored exactly 1 point in two of his last three games. That’s kind of difficult to do, especially considering that he averaged 27.0 minutes across those two games.

I think that tonight will likely be a night that Mikal goes off against Shaedon Sharpe.

Uh huh. I think that.

Lordy. Had no idea that Cavs have won 15 straight.

All season long, I didn’t want to admit the Cavs are as good as they are. Mainly because we’ve always handled them pretty well. But man! This is their 2nd 15 game win streak of the season. I think it’s time for me to let my bias against them go lol. They are a very good team under Atkinson. Very good team.

Yeah. The Cavs at more than double the payout over Boston and even larger over OKC in Vegas odds right now looks like a nice bet.

Great story on the passing of Junior Bridgeman and his post NBA career. https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/40625836/how-nba-sixth-man-built-600m-empire

Hunter was a fantastic get for the Cavs. I don’t think Boston will be able to stop them.

Hunter (14/4/1 in 25 minutes off the bench since joining the Cavs) didn’t even play last night. Don’t sleep on how much of a help Caris LeVert (17/4/3 in 29 minutes off the bench) has been for the Hawks, either.

Does Channing Frye read Knickerblogger?:

“I played for coaches where we have our game plan and it’s not working and the coach yells ‘just do it harder!’ … We go ‘coach, you’ve got to put somebody else in, something has to change,” Frye said. “Let’s say [the Knicks] play Boston … Jayson Tatum’s over here looking at OG Anunoby gassed, he’s chilling.”

“There’s no way you can go dumb hard for 40 minutes every single night in a game,” Frye continued. “That’s why it’s frustrating, because the Knicks have all the talent in the world. Every year, it’s a repeat thing of ‘oh, man, the Knicks are really good, oh hamstring, oh foot, oh hamstring, hamstring, hamstring, knees, knees. They must have a deal with a doctor! What is going on? Give them a chance to be great. You need a break. Just give [the starters] 35 minutes.”

I like the Cavs. A blueprint for the Knicks. Go all in with a young core that can develop. Resist the urge to blow it up/major rejig after playoff disappointment. Change coach off-season minimising disruption. Play lights out including a 15 game winning streak. Don’t think job done but make a semi significant trade. Go on another 15 game streak.
