I[m sorry but i think it's messed up that the Cavs might lose this game. They played hard and managed to earn the 7 seed after an 82 game regular season (and they were nearly the 1 seed before they got hit with injuries). The Hawks underachieved after making the ECF and werent a top 8 seed after a full 82 game regular season. Now they have a chance to beat the hobbled Cavs and take them out the playoffs.
The play-in is bullshyt in that regard. the 7 and 8 seeds are put in a terrible situation where they have nothing to gain and everything to lose
If I was K Love, Mobley, Garland, Allen or JB Bickerstaff, I'd be so mad if I lost tonight. Especially considering they lost the 7 seed that they earned
come on, man. No it doesnt. by the ASB, the Hawks were a 12 seed (made the ECF last season), and now they're only getting in bc of a play-in tournament that was made just to shoehorn a player into the league. He wasn't able to get a top 8 seed. I don't hate trae young, but his entry into the playoffs would be undeserved under normal circumstances
nikka cold as fukk
Cavs have a great counter in Garland
Game might come down to if Jarrett Allen plays
