Episode Notes

On this edition of Locked On Cavs, Danny Cunningham reacts to the Cleveland Cavaliers opting to sit Donovan Mitchell, Jarrett Allen and Sam Merrill against the Atlanta Hawks on Friday night. He begins the show by talking about the Cavs choosing to prioritize health over anything else over the final two games of the regular season. Next, Danny talks about the easiest path for the Cavs in the postseason, and how the results of games on Thursday night impacted the path forward for the Cavaliers. Finally, Danny discusses why he thinks that seeing the Boston Celtics in the conference finals would be the best thing for the Cavs.
