Cleveland started out the season just OK. Then Sam got playing time and confidence and Cleveland went on a long winning streak. Then the injured 'starters' came back, Sam's time was cut and the Cavs have just been OK. Seems to be a pretty good in-season correlation. I'm sure there are other variables but it is a pretty stark. If the Cavs left Sam off the playoff roster they would deserve to lose in the first round.

He's on the playoff roster. Reminds to be seen if he'll get the minutes he deserves.

I've been keeping up with Sam all year. I don't think it even crossed the front office mind to leave him off the roster. They love him over there!

He was getting covered good against a big lineup and it was getting chippy. He should have had 3 free throws. Shoved hard in the back while shooting beyond the arc.

Had a good 1st half. 8 points some boards and an assist. Not bad for a game 7. Big 3 was a turning point. Cavs now up to end 3rd.

Yep, he was a key player in sparking the run. Allowed others to drive and not get double teamed due to needing to stay on Sam.

Cavs coach lucked out with Strus and Garland getting early fouls so he HAD to put Sam in.

He's the only reason I even check an NBA box score. I tuned in just in time to see him hit his second three-pointer just before halftime. Once I noticed he wasn't going to be part of the second half rotation I went back to watching Arrested Development on Netflix.

We watched the 3rd quarter. It was the longest continuous stretch of NBA hoops we'd watched all year. Once it was clear Sam wasn't going to check in, CLICK.

It would be dope if our video bot would go through and record the games that Sam and Neemi play in. It would be even cooler if it would just save the minutes that they actually got playing time in. Not trying to create more work for somebody though.

He still has a year on his contract, and with his salary being so low, there is little chance he gets traded. He is not going anywhere.

Perhaps Struss or someone else in front on him with a bloated contract could get traded and he could move up the ladder that way.

This, and I could see them giving him an extension with a nice raise too. For whatever reason I think teams feel the need to play the guys they pay more, regardless of if they are the better player.

The sad thing is he’s the perfect complement to a player like Mitchell. He might not thrive in a different system in the NBA. Cleveland should pay him more and move him up in the rotation. That would be the best move for both parties.

Then again, isn’t mitchell’s contract end coming up?

Combined for two points tonight, according to the box score.
