The old adage that less is more was in full effect tonight at the Quicken Loans Arena. In the macro sense, for the Cavaliers less wins equals more ping pong balls in the upcoming Lottery. In the micro sense, less Kyrie Irving equals more wins for the Celtics.
To further pile onto the Live Thread introduction, Uncle Chicken didn’t bother making this latest return trip to play his former team… and, not un-coincidentally, his current team ended their longest losing streak of the season at four games. Sure, this is a Cavs team that fights hard but typically folds towards the end… but there’s an interesting pattern forming.
