00:00: Cavs Playoff Rotation & Health
Danny Cunningham discusses the Cavs’ final 11 regular season games, the need to get healthy, and how the playoff rotation might look, including analysis of potential 9-man lineup options.
15:15: Tyson vs. Schroder for Final Spot

26:10: Optimal Playoff Opponents
Danny Cunningham breaks down the Eastern Conference playoff seeding, possible first-round opponents, and why Cavs fans should root for certain matchups.
What would your ideal playoff rotation be?
I think the rotation should not change
James Donovan Allen Mobley Wade Merrill Keon Jaylon Schroder and Max. I agree Wade is hesitating to shoot it. He should put up more shots then he is right now.
I hope Dean Wade gets tossed in the dustbin of history, never to return. You and Kenny have this infatuation with this clown and he's godawful. Idc what the stats say. The eye test tells all of us that he's unplayable in high-pressure situations.
Enough with that guy. Smmfh.
Given our luck and since we can have 13 players dressed id lean towards utilizing 10 or 11 players and have them ready to go at any given time. I really dont think thats much different then how we are currently operating?
