All right. Down 2-0, as the number one seed. Having lost All Star Point Guard and having been humiliated on our home court- How many games will this series go?

State your point of view!

I can't see how we can win without IT. Yes our defense will be better but who do we have that can score or create their own offense or offense for others? I hope I am wrong but I can see us scoring more than 80 points. That won't beat the Cavs.

We are a better team without an injured IT.
We will be more competitive today.

I give it a 99% chance of not happening. 

This team only had a chance on a night when everyone was hitting their shots, including IT.   Without him, there's no go-to scorer on the roster unless Brown or Rozier makes a major leap.  they're really the only 2 players with the moves to get open on their own. 

KO had his one explosion this playoff, I don't expect him to come close to that again.  He'd need to come close to that level of performance for the C's to have a chance to win a game.

No. This team can't score at all without IT against a decent opponent.

Is this a real question?  Hell no we won't win a game.  In fact, I predict we won't lead for a single minute in the series.

Normally I'd say this type of statement is hyperbole but I honestly wouldn't be surprised at all if this is the case.

I'll happily eat crow on this.

I'd like to think this game will be way more competitive.  I feel Cavs just had IT"s offensive scheme down packed. Every asset/player we have will establish their true value in game 3 & 4. Especially if they can some how pull out a win. We will deff get 20+ minutes of Rozier. I believe his ball handling skills aren't far off from Kyrie"s  honestly. Jaylen browns looks hungry  and has his shot. One of these games will come down to the last seconds hopefully.

No but I'm sure no more massacres

They will play harder and more physical than we have seen the 1st two games
