Thought it might be cool to have a game thread on this non-Celtics game due to the Celtic ramifications.

Game starts at 7:00PM EST and is on TNT

Neither Allen for the Cavs nor Simmons for the Nets will be playing.

I think Cavs pull out the upset....or Nets roll...but think it will be Cleveland the Celtics will be playing Sunday afternoon.

I can definitely root for a non Lebron Cavs team.

Cavs have some guards who can lock up Kyrie...but no answer for KD, unfortunately. I expect AT LEAST. a 40 piece from him tonight.

Any Australians know how to watch this game?

Cavs kept it close last week. Anything can happen in a one game playoff.

Pretty excited for this... The play-in games last season were really good.

Today we are all Cleveland fans. Have to turn in but hoping to wake up to some good news and some sad Kyrie photos.
Man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time.

But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.

If this is Brooklyn, I am not afraid of them at all. Their defence has been hilariously bad, and we have a much, much better defence than Cleveland

Cavs small lineup right now might hurt them
