He begins the show by talking about the Cavs choosing to prioritize health over anything else over the final two games of the regular season. Next, Danny talks about the easiest path for the Cavs in the postseason, and how the results of games on Thursday night impacted the path forward for the Cavaliers.

Hell no they shouldn’t. They still haven’t gotten their rotations down or enough play time together. They are not ready for the playoffs. Also why I think it would be absolutely stupid for them to purposely lose games to get the 4 seed. If it came out they actively threw games to get the 4 seed for a perceived “better” match up in the 2nd rd but then lose in the 1st rd, Kenny would be absolutely shredded by the media and disgraced out of the league and a job possibly forever. Hence why imo they did not, and they just loss those games or looked bad for parts of games cus they actually aren’t good as fans think. Cavs need every minute of game time they can get together before the playoff to try to sort out their defensive woes that began in March. I mean they got the reigning dpoy. As well as they need to still improve chemistry and figure out their playoff rotation. Cavs aren’t even close to ready for playoffs. Imo their core needs a minimum of an extra month of healthy play, prolly close to 2 months
