Both games versus PHI are home. I am really glad season opener was not at CLE, because Hayward's injury last year was a brutal start.

How boring to have a team that we gentleman swept while they were fully healthy and we were missing our two best players on both nights. We deserve better competition in one of those games. Philly got worse as we got better.

IMO Philly and the Fakers are fighting over who the most overrated team in the league is.

I think the NBA is trying to milk match-ups too much. PHI, and TOR games [HASH]1 and [HASH]2?
