@RealDCunningham What did Allen do wrong? I thought he had a solid first half. 6-8 for 15 points. That efficiency seems like it would helpful this quarter.

This is around the time when Donovan Mitchell usually heads to the bench for a couple of minutes. Not sure the Cavs can afford to not have him on the floor right now. We'll see who is on the floor out of this timeout.

Kenny has a longer leash on Dennis Schröder than Jarrett Allen

@cavs WHERE IS ALLEN.

SAM MONEY MERRILL. #LetEmKnow

@Gbush91 Harden needs to facilitate to Tyson and Schroeder running to the basket. I’d rather have Sam out there taking threes.

You can’t have Strus, Wade, Tyson, & Schroeder in the game at the same time! Kenny’s rotations are completely trash! Where is Sam Merrill at? Where is Keon Ellis? He’s clueless right now #Cavs

@TJZuppe If that is worth one less run per game allowed, I’ll take it!

Going back to 2023, that’s a lot of catching defense between Bailey and Hedges “Now do their offense.” Hey shut up for a minute.

@twithersCLE I would love to see this offense with a better coach. There is no system to fall back on when they play good defenses that prevent hero ball.

Bad start, bad finish by Cavs. Cleveland goes 7-32 on 3s, 0-11 in fourth. Pistons' defense is the biggest difference between the squads. Cleveland's offense has zero rhythm. Only remember a few quality possessions.

@NickCaminoWKYC Bright side - if they win two at home, they might have some momentum going into game 5.

Final in Game 2: Pistons 107 #Cavs 97 Cleveland falls into an 0-2 hole and will need to win four of the next five games to advance to the next round of the NBA Playoffs. Looks pretty bleak at the moment.

@TheCavsJack They are not a team that plays together. There are no plays. They are just a bunch of individuals trying to make things up.

CLE 0-2 DET.

@TheCavsJack Finish with the starters!!

Kenny put JA in but he’s resting Don & Ev

@TheCavsJack Spida and Mobley should not sit at all. Allen needs to get back out there soon.

The Cavs have just taken their first second half lead of the series

@Precision80 I think tonight you maximize the minutes of the starters, knowing that you are heading home and they are going to get some quality rest at home.

Honestly think if the Cavs dont win tonight I think they lose the series, if they cant win on the road tonight I dont see a reason why they could in a G5 or a G7 if it comes to that

@PulseCleveland Hopefully the trend is true for this series that they gave up the most turnovers in the first road game of each series.

Cavs turnovers per game in the playoffs Game 1: 17 Game 2: 14 Game 3: 22 Game 4: 18 Game 5: 15 Game 6: 18 Game 7: 17 Game 8: 20 Disgusting and shameful hoops

@thedawgspodcast Let’s say the Browns improve enough to win seven games and end up in the 12th, 13th, or 14th draft spot in the first round. Would that spot warrant a pick for Sorsby?

What round pick would you bid for Brendan Sorsby? - 6’3” 235 pounds - 22 years old In 2 seasons at Cincinnati: - 5,613 pass yards - 45 TD / 12 INT - 1,027 rush yards - 18 rush TD There’s no denying the talent. Assuming another year of development at Texas Tech, Sorsby was an early-projected 1st round guy. What would you be willing to risk?

@cityaestheticss I’m from Columbus, a Cleveland sports fan, but I chose to live in Cincinnati - the Queen City. It’s the best!

What would you say is the best city in Ohio?

@TheCavsJack Does he realize that Mobley is diminished as a defensive player with Allen out of the game?

He saved the season yet Kenny doesn’t have a single iota of trust for JA in the 4th unless he’s having the game of his life

@TheCavsJack Absolutely. I don’t know what they need to do to keep control of that ball on unforced turnovers and keep Jarrett Allen in the game, but if they do…

You never know how Game 2 will go so it’s really a damn shame the Cavs let this one slip. The mission is to get one in Detroit and it’s possible that was their best shot - hopefully, that’s not the case. Going back to CLE down 0-2 would be terrible. Not the end, but still bad.

@RealDCunningham Lost a winnable game. Tighten a few things up and win game 2. Feeling better about the series than I did before the game.

#Cavs lose Game 1 to the Pistons 111-101. They were undone by turnovers and putting the Pistons on the free throw line far too frequently. Remarkable that this game was tied in the fourth with how many things went wrong for Cleveland. Detroit leads the series 1-0.

@GreatWhite85 @TalknGrubb @ESPNCleveland @NickPaulus Feeling great about game 2. Kenny benched Allen after the 93-93 tie. Not sure why he did that.

@theRoyceBaker @TalknGrubb @ESPNCleveland @NickPaulus Can I get an update

The Cavs issues winning on the road are why @NickPaulus is picking the Pistons in 6 🫣🫣🫣🫣

@NickCaminoWKYC Benching Allen for the final 5 minutes is the worst part. Detroit scored at will in the paint to win the game after being tied 93-93.

Perhaps Harden's worst game in a #Cavs uniform... Came at an awful time.
