Cavs-Wolves Finals. I’d watch LOL

 

[tlance]

No way the W’s are better than the Suns or Pelicans, they have no depth and fit issues. The crazy thing though at this point I could see the W’s finishing 13th or 14th in the conference

Possible.

If it plays out like that, It is on Kerr.

The problem like Sushi said is scheme not fitting personnel. They absolutely have the talent to be a playoff team. If they do significantly worse than that while staying healthy, eventually management needs to take an honest look at their head coaching position.

All roads to the finals in the West go through OKC.

Man they really suck at tanking.

Drummond is not worth $25M/year let alone what he wants $30-$35M. Every time he gets the ball he puts his head down and drives, doesn’t matter if it’s a bad shot or contested. He has no awareness. Also, think Love is just taking shots away from the more efficient scorers like Garland and Sexton, I understand they need big men but no way in hell I am playing Drummond $25M/year+. $16-$20 fine but he isn’t worth more than that

Love also helps spread the floor for Garland/Sexton. Noticed the same about Drummond. also let them foul him too much...lucky he made them I guess.

rj barrett is bad. That was a bad pick at the time........wtf are the knicks doing

any idea why Toppin didn't play? Not even a DNP-CD in box score I saw.

Wolves V Thunder would be a hell of a WCF battle.

Gruden is a moron. Did you know that?

so much dumb in that last minute........go for the TD on 3rd down. Rather they need a TD to beat me with a minute than FG with 20 seconds. AND if you are gonna kick the FG squib the kickoff to take another 3-5 seconds off clock.

 

[dtgold88]

their will supposedly be 72 games this season- i dont know if that will happen...but thats the goal

how many games do you think the Cavs win this year?

My guess is 32.

Depends on 2 things....health and do they want to win. Healthy roster and want to win I think they can be .500 or better. No health or dump players (Love, Drummond, etc) and maybe 25 or so.

Are the Warriors really that bad? The game vs the Bulls will tell us a lot IMO.

I’m fine with Love overall, his outside shooting is hit or miss but he hit a clutch one last night. Yeah even though Drummond can do a lot of things offensively and defensively he needs to pick up his head and look for open guys more, it seemed like they were collapsing on him early and he was being stubborn just looking for his own shot. Hope to see improvement tonight, I will say he is so athletic and if he really works he is pretty good defensively and no bad guarding the perimeter as well

I saw that yesterday, that is INSANE

Goes without saying the D and foolish penalty were disasters.....but never should have come to that.
