You know, we're making it harder on ourselves just like Wesley says:

Wesley Johnson feels like the name of a player we would sign.

I get that JJ is important for the Hawks but watching the Cavs win games without Mobley and Garland is frustrating.

Capela is one of our most important players.

True but we still should have beat them without their floor leader and a big down. Even on the road, the scheduling stinks but you gotta get a w.

Idk that we should have won that game at all.  They're a better team this year.  They were at home.  We were on a b2b travel night... We didn't have our defensive anchor... Mitchell is the best player on the floor. 

Cleveland is really good and I wouldn't be surprised if they made serious noise in the post season

To me Cleveland tops out as a team capable of winning one playoff series but nothing more unless Mobley makes a major leap. 
 

They are very similar to the Hawks in that they have a very good backcourt but not so good it can reasonably be expected to be championship material. Both teams need a true difference maker in the front court.

How many have they won at home missing Mobley and Garland though?

I don't really like making excuses related to players missing, but if you're going to do it, we were missing two of our most impactful players, JJ and CC.  Our front court is abysmal without those guys.  Allen and Mitchell are their two most important players.

I'm gonna guess that JJ returns December 29th at home vs the Kings.

Mitchell and Mobley are Cleveland's two most important players, followed by Garland and then Allen.

That’s the game my special lady is watching with me! I think she misses Huerter. That smooth red velvet. Kinda miss him myself

Never listen to Koonin regarding injuries. His timeline has always been more optimistic than reality.

Here’s exactly why I want us to make a move regardless of Jalen’s health. 8-7 is not a needle moving record even at full strength.

We are not going to magically go on a run once JJ comes back. We will be better, but not much better than the .500 team we were with him.
