Cavaliers vs. Nets gamethread

Last game before the break - who’s pumped?

So, where are you at on the Cavs at the All-Star break? They are obviously bad and struggling, but Kevin Love is back somewhat and he’s made the team more watchable. Tristan Thompson should be back soon too. Larry Nance Jr.’s game is quietly growing. Collin Sexton and Cedi Osman are showing flashes. Is that enough to keep you watching? Or are you more focused on the draft odds?

There’s still over 30 percent of the season of the season left, so perhaps keep that mind as you watch tonight’s game.

Cavs status updates: John Henson (OUT - wrist injury), Cedi Osman (TBD - ankle), Tristan Thompson (OUT - foot soreness), Ante Zizic (TBD - back), Kevin Love (OUT - rest)
