This version of the Cavs has to be a disappointment unless they turn this game and series around? Garland and Mobley not taking the leap that we’re seeing in OKC.

Hard not to feel like this is just an undercard. I don’t see how either team scores on us with any regularity. Having Gus Johnson on the call lends to the sense of amateurishness (he’s fine, just an NCAA guy to me)

Rule of thumb: the less high profile the game, the more tolerable the national announcers are.

I think I am changing my mind: cleve is better.

Or is this a case of (per CharlesBarkely a decade ago): "I want to play the loser of the series"

The officiating is so much tighter in this series than Knicks-Sixers, it's like a different sport.
