Playoff preview? Saturday matinee? Public practice session?
The Cavs take on the Magic. The game is, in a way, important for the Cavs. Not so much the win or loss. For pride’s sake I’d like a win. At the very least, we had better not get run off our home floor.
But no, aside from some intangible psychology impact, the win or less hardly matters. This is just one of few chances the Cavs have had with a full roster. That is, I’m guessing Lebron will play, despite his sore back. Should he? Well, it’s important to see the offense gel, but it’s much more important that Lebron be 100% in 2 weeks.
So one way or another we’ll see what we’ve got. If Lebron doesn’t play, it will give us some insight into what we could expect during those 2 minute stretches in the playoffs where he rides the pine.
Not that we’ll play the Magic anyway.
What I’m very curious to see is whether Mike Brown has the discipline I’m sure he preaches. Clearly he made the decision to set the rotation, but also clearly, Boobie Gibson doesn’t have it (yet). If Lebron doesn’t play, or sits extended minutes, does Damon Jones make an appearance? Can he earn his way back into the rotation? He’s been hitting his shots at nearly the same clip as Boobie, injury free, and runs the offense as well as anybody.
In other news, the Cavs signed Lance Allred for the rest of the year. Good for him.
Go Cavs!
