It’s disappointing how it ended but this season was success for the Cavaliers. Darius Garland is an All-Star still on the rise. Jarrett Allen is a monster, possible All-D if healthy. MOBLEY! And so much other talent to build with. Cleveland is gonna be competitive for many years. – 10:17 PM Vivek Jacob @vivekmjacob
Shame the Cavs season ends without the playoffs but the future for that core is BRIGHT

Ben Taylor didn’t actually make the call until he looked down and saw Jarrett Allen sprawled out under the hoop. This is an interesting challenge. – 9:12 PM Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA

#Cavs lead the Hawks 36-25. Great baseline cut by Jarrett Allen for the dunk. Cavs have taken advantage of turnovers early, as the Hawks have turned it over 7 times, leading to 11 points for Cleveland.
They have to watch Hawks’ offensive boards, as ATL has 11 second-chance pts. – 8:14 PM James Boyd @RomeovilleKid

Before #Cavs got a sense that Jarrett Allen was gonna try to give it a go, there were internal discussions about starting Rajon Rondo. Starter or not, it’s time for Rondo’s alter ego — “Playoff Rondo” — to show up.
