Will Allen play tonight? He has missed the past two games with an eye contusion the same injury DG missed games with earlier in the season. If Allen plays they have a shot to beat Philly tonight without him Embiid will feast and I don't think it will be pretty for the Cavs.

If the Cavs lose to the Sixers tonight then it makes the path to 3rd place much more difficult.

Jarrett Allen remains out for the Cavs tonight. Really hurts their chances of winning this game. Can Mobley defend Embiid? We shall see.

The foul call that got overturned late in the game was 1000% a “we’re on national TV and we can’t let Embiid foul out in this close game” call.

I will agree that Mobley kind of sold it, but Embid did dip with his shoulder so it should have been his sixth foul. We also can’t blow a 15 point lead as well.

Oh I’m definitely not blaming the loss on that call, just saying it was a bad overturn.

Was at the game and it was definitely an offensive foul he extended his elbow and pushed off below Mobley's waist but as Buckeyefan stated they got up 13 to start the second half and proceeded to score like 1 point in 5 and a half minutes after that and that's where the game was lost.

Huge win for the Cavs tonight in Brooklyn to further themselves ahead in playoff positioning. 46-28 with 8 games left and sitting at 4th with 3.5 game lead on the 5th place Knicks.

With the Knicks losing to the Heat last night the Cavs are now 4 games up on the Knicks for home court with 8 games to go. Safe to say the secured home court for the 1st round and it seems as if they will be playing the Knicks. The goal for the last 8 games now is that nobody gets hurt.

WOW! What a win and shot from Okoro. What’s great is the Knicks lost to the magic. Cavs are 5 games up now.

I could see the Heat passing the Knicks to get the 5th seed. The Knicks are 1.5 games ahead. Last 10 games the Heat are 7-3 and the Knicks are 4-6. I think I would rather play the Knicks.

I think the Cavs can automatically clinch a playoff spot if they beat the Rockets which they should.

Interesting tidbit of info for some. In the 1st qt tonight vs. Houston the Cavs recorded their 500th dunk of the season. Leads the NBA. Meaningless? Yep Interesting? Maybe to some. I found it interesting.

I am loving Mobley's aggressiveness on the offensive side of the ball lately. This team's ceiling is whatever his ceiling becomes.

Today I give thanks for the Detroit Pistons and Houston Rockets for letting Evan Mobley fall to us at #3.

A few might have thought it was a mistake but not many. At least if you disregard the Cle media, who are mostly clueless.

With the win tonight the Cavs will need one more to lock up the 4 seed and reach 50 wins.

Okoro's status also seems to be up in the air for the playoffs. He missed the past couple of games with "Knee soreness" and JB was asked about it last night and stated "I don't have an answer for you right now, to be honest with you. We are trying to progress him, but we'll see what happens and we've always got to do, again, what's right by him." To me, that statement sounds like a guy who won't be available come the beginning of the playoffs.

Caris LeVert is playing very good these past couple of games.

Cavs will be playing at home for game 1 and 2 of the first round. They also won their 50th game on the year.

This is the 12th time in franchise history that the Cavs have won 50 or more games (and the 4th without LeBron)

Cavs will rest their starters the last two games of the season. I hope Okoro will be healthy for playoffs. LeVert is playing really well.
