Mark Jackson pointing out that being down 0-2 to the Warriors isn't the same as being down 0-2 to the Celtics.

Such astute insight.  Please, tell us more.

Rodney Hood and Kyle Korver should both be getting more minutes. Both of those players can give the Cavs more than Green and Smith.

Cavs lose game three they will be swept

Game three is their last stand

They do not have Kyrie Irving to bail them out.

In my opinion, Smith and Green are both fringe NBA players at this point. I know Green had a moment against the C's in game seven, but he is a really dreadful basketball player too.

They should've rested him or went for playoff advantage and not play him all year and then not have home court. I think he played every game to try and get MVP. He's a very stats driven individual.

When you find out let me know. He's bringing nothing to the table so far.

You think that team makes the playoffs without him?

I agree on Green, but the term fringe NBA player is too generous for Smith at this point. Doesn't belong on a roster

It's hard to say. It would depend on how many games he took off and when. They might have rested him those last two games against the Knicks at least. He looks exhausted.... Might be time for him to get in his Michael Jackson chamber and come out refreshed for game 3!

I think they need to bench JR and start Korver and bring Hood off the bench.

Call me crazy, but the Cavs could really use Wade right now. Why did they trade him in the first place?
