Is this series going to ultimately make or break the Cavs with this core going forward?
It feels like this is where you draw the line in the Donovan Mitchell era even if it is losing to a one seed
In my view though, if they lose this series the indictees are Drunk Koby Altman and Kenny-the-non-jet-Atkinson who conspired to intentionally fiddle away November and December to build a tough, rested roster in rhe 'loffs. I had never heard of such an inane thing until I heard Pat Riley say "We like this roster." You can't just decide to play in the playoffs. Sensitive City never got back to near where they finished the 2024/25 season, had an existential first-round, seven-round bout with Ontario State and now are behind Zollner, who may or may not be more talented, but who showed more heart in tonight's game than Sensitive City has shown ever with this org. leadership and this roster.
