The Athletic reports the Cavaliers are dealing with illnesses going through the locker room as they go up 3-2. “Sam Merrill was violently ill on the off day between games 4 and 5, as a stomach bug (different from Atkinson’s upper respiratory bug) is also coursing through the team.”

It’s nice to be on the other side of the “refs let them be too physical” narrative

I mean so many series in a row where the Cavs were soft and not rising to playoff intensity.

Now we finally play physical basketball and Charmin Bickerstaff whines instead of making any adjustments (We’ve seen this before too).

Come with the same intensity for game 5. Let em **c**** know.
