Biggest test of the season for the Cavaliers, with the 9-3 Rockets in town. Rockets and rickets are two things that legitimately scare me, so this will be big. Houston, is big, athletic, range, and can defend and rebound. They will be without DFS and Tari Easin not to mention FVV who is out for the year. Cleveland lost Merrill to a wrist sprain and will also be without Strus, Garland, and Tyson. However the latter two may be back by Saturday.
I’m hoping the Cavs’ Secretary of Energy, Nae’Qwan Tomlin and the full court press wunderkind, Craig Porter Junior bring the energy tonight so the starters can hold serve and the bench can win on the margins. I also hope Evan Mobley can focus in the first 45 minutes, cause he was a mess till the end last game. Rebounding and execution will be key, cause Houston feasts off turnovers. Go Cavs.
