Yep, and a blowout like I thought. If/when Allen doesn't play, just take Boston. If he's out for the series, then this will be a sweep or 5 games. Boston outrebounded the Cavs, I think by 15 boards. Mobley just does not take up the paint like Allen and he is an offensive mess right now.Originally Posted by ChuckyTheGoat
Looks like Allen is out tonite.
Salud, Mac. Yeah, I can't believe the Cavs don't have a better Backup C.Yep, and a blowout like I thought. If/when Allen doesn't play, just take Boston.

Waiting for Allen to return. Would gladly take Cle +11 if Allen is cleared to Start.
Mac:
*Gm 2 line is Cavs +13.5
...Even without Allen, I'm considering Cavs.
...Surely CLE w/o Allen is > MIA w/o Butler.
...BOS had a great Gm1. People are now so comfortable backing BOS.
...BOS has a great bench. But the Porzingis absence has to show up @ some time. Even if it's just Horford playing longer minutes.
...If Allen returns, the +13.5 will look incredibly fat.
Any update on Allen would be great. Do you think that he was CLOSE to playing Gm1? If so, he could be cleared for Gm2.
Right now BOS bench says it all! Amazing, as we said earlier, Kornet is totally underappreciated. The man is very servicable and the rest of the bench much overlooked.Mac:

Ya, Madison. I made these comments in the Boston future thread.Right now BOS bench says it all! Amazing, as we said earlier, Kornet is totally underappreciated. The man is very servicable and the rest of the bench much overlooked.
I honestly think Boston's bench would challenge Indiana in a series. As for valuation, I think Boston is now over-priced. It's as if there's no displacement for Porzingis.
Cavs medical staff shares nothing to anyone. Not a pin drop on Allen. I'm thinking he does not play game 2. Wade is making a slow recovery. I doubt he plays either. My guess, Wade plays the first game in Cleveland (game 3) and Allen returns in game 4, possibly game 3.Salud, Mac. Yeah, I can't believe the Cavs don't have a better Backup C.

I seriously can't take the Cavs without Allen. They will get abused on the boards and pushed around without him. You are in a world of hurt when Tristan Thompson and Marcus Morris Sr. are your toughest players. Those guys are closer to the glue factory.

LOL, was thinking about the condition of my sorry body and what it used to be.
One's body gets EXPONENTIALLY worse every five years after 40.
Point well taken with these guys.

Knows that he can't win if Morris is out there. Merril got more MIN last game.

Unfortunately, he doesn't run plays to get Merrill open. Why have him on the court if you don't set him up to shoot. Garland and Merrill's defense are huge disadvantages. The Celtics guards just push them out the way to the basket. The Cavs have not been very disciplined staying attached to shooters. They love to sag, especially Garland to help in the paint, allowing the Cs to shoot open 3s. The Cs players are stronger than the Cavs. If they get Allen back, he can man the paint and really provied help inside.Salud, Mac. Yes, I saw that the HC reduced Morris' minutes.

Need to get Allen and The White Wolf back then it will be game on!
Salud, dawg. Would love to see that.Need to get Allen and The White Wolf back then it will be game on!
No Allen or Wade. Hopefully they come back on Saturday in Cleveland
I can't bet good money on Cleveland with Allen out. Celtics or nothing.
Makes sense, Mac. I've been waiting on Allen:No Allen or Wade. Hopefully they come back on Saturday in Cleveland

IF/WHEN he returns, Cavs will be under-priced.
Very impressed with Bickerstaff's game plan tonight.
Well prepared.
