Life is nothing. An old coach whose message does not get through, a Tobias Harris on the flank, young people in confidence, a duo of All-Stars too lonely, a Shaqtin McGee, a rookie who treats. Tonight it is the Cavs in darling mode who have disposed of the leader of the Eastern Conference, who moreover almost no longer was the leader of the Eastern Conference this morning. We told you, life doesn’t matter.
Remember, it was finally not that long ago. Every Cleveland game was another chance to get on the Cavs wagon, and JB Bickerstaff’s young troop even sailed the heights of the East. Coillin Sexton was phenomenal, Darius Garland followed suit, Isaac Okoro was a rock that was hard to move in his first game in the NBA and we were waiting to see how the weird Kevin Porter Jr. was going to be able to graft into it all. . In short it was winning, and it was pretty cool for a franchise used to valves and fog since the second departure of LeBron James in 2018. Then the coldest winter has arrived, Andre Drummond has started hitting HORSE in the middle of a game, Collin Sexton has lost some of his All-Star flame, Jarrett Allen has landed in Ohio, that’s it cool, but the defeats followed one another and the Cavs were already back in their most frequented neighborhood: the Eastern Fourteenth Borough, right between Detroit and Orlando.
Tonight ? After too ugly a losing streak (10) already stopped this week against Houston and Atlanta, the Cavs have once again shown the best version of themselves, facing the Sixerss breathless before the cut, the Sixers having too much few solutions in the absence of Tobias Harris and too dependent on their beast of pivot Joel Embiid, author this night of a record at 42/13/6 and fell arms in hand at the end of the game when the kids of Cleveland , them, ensured like darons in the money time. An extension was nevertheless useful, and overall the end of the match proved two things: 1) little Okoro is already big and his match was beautiful on both sides of the pitch and 2) how can Collin Sexton and Darius Garland comfortably walk with such a big bundle between their thighs? Here we try to politely say that the two backs of Cleveland have a huge pair of balls, and so here we are clearly part of the Cavs fanclub when everyone is participating so cheerfully, from Sexland to Okoro so, but also from Jarrett Allen to Damyean Dotson, all without Cedi Osman, without Taurean Prince, without Larry Nance Jr. and without Kevin Love, still affiliated with the administration of the franchise and absent from the courts since about Antiquity.
Finally ? The third win in a row for the Cavs, all the same, who will be offered on a plateau the opportunity to reach the All-Star break on a nice streak since they will travel to Houston before receiving the Pacers next week . Chick do we do 2/2?
