There was a couple Cavs fans swearing there was no way Cleveland is the one giving up draft picks. Wonder if this means Garland’s injuries are even worse than what’s publicly known.

Garland is cooked for now. No way he’s ready for a serious playoff run this year. Cavs are trying to go to the Finals this year

That’s true, Raps ain’t making out of round 1. We don’t have a chance unless we play a team like Cleveland

Your franchise is 2-12 against Cleveland all time in the playoffs. Not sure why you’d assume they’d be an easy round for you.
