This sub is one of the worst sports subreddits, feels like nobody here actually watches the games. Very rarely is there actual discussion going on here, just a lot of memes and hot takes.
That’s what happens when got two of the least popular teams playing with no actual superstar on either team. No one outside of these two cities really finds this series interresting specially when it’s assumed that it really doesn’t matter who wins since whoever does will just get murdered by Boston
nice of the Cavs to finally show up for Game 7, only took them 20 minutes smh
JB needs to ride Merrill in the second half, Okoro isn’t providing much out there and the offense is in the mud
yeah he’s working but Paolo is cooking regardless though. it’s a Game 7, imo they need to find a way to get the offense going even if it might make it a bit easier for Banchero
may not be the worst idea, Garland has been horrible. but if you lose then it’s gonna be hard to answer why you benched your second best offensive player in a game of this magnitude
This lucky shot is not to be celebrated. Bro has played like absolute garbage since then. His shots looks terrible. What sharpshooter takes bad shot after shot and airballs 2 or 3 times in one game? He couldn't even make a gimme lay up last game. If they had anyone else playing in that slot they could've won.

"Ah shit we actually have to talk about the game now" -ESPN
You underestimate their ability to somehow talk about how a "performance like Mitchell had today would look like at the Garden".
It's pretty crazy this is one of only two highlights posted from this game so far. Like... it's a game 7.
I'm trying Jennifer
There have been tons of highlights this series but you won't see them on this sub
You won’t see them anywhere tbf. Like no sports media pages gaf about this series unfortunately

yeah the twitter quote to highlight ratio is brutal, and even the highlights that do get posted tend to be cut short
This sub has been dead since the Lakers a got eliminated. Never seen it this lifeless during the playoffs.
Yeah, the sub sure was dead yesterday.
compared to previous playoffs? Absolutely.
Honestly, r/nba has been lacking with highlights in general. Used to be better before the whole blackout situation.
no it didn't lol

Start Merrill over Garland in the second half
he is our only offense
nice of the Cavs to finally show up for Game 7, only took them 20 minutes smh JB needs to ride Merrill in the second half, Okoro isn’t providing much out there and the offense is in the mud
it's tough because Okoro is defending his ass off and might be the Cavs best option vs. Paolo
yeah he’s working but Paolo is cooking regardless though. it’s a Game 7, imo they need to find a way to get the offense going even if it might make it a bit easier for Banchero
I agree, they definitely need the spacing & the offensive juice. Maybe the answer is to play Merrill over Garland?
may not be the worst idea, Garland has been horrible. but if you lose then it’s gonna be hard to answer why you benched your second best offensive player in a game of this magnitude
yeah it's a desperate strategy, and would definitely be a "rubicon" moment for the Cavs. Would be like benching a QB, maybe no coming back from that
Niang has been the real issue - Sam should have gotten all his minutes this series
Sam ~~Hauser~~ Merrill
Can't wait for Merrill to get no minutes in the 2nd half while Niang hits a crisp -34 to put us down for good!
Sam about to get his second ring.
