2015-16 NBA Eastern Conference OFFICIAL THREAD

[bksballer89]

Last year win #18 for Miami came in game #40. This season win #18 game in game #29. There is a solid chance Miami ends December with the same amount of wins they had last season heading into February

Cavs with the same offense they showed yesterday... but with none of the defense. Pathetic combination.

76ers get win #2, first win on the road against the Suns.

Ish Smith for MVP

Suns are ass. Time to go in full tank mode

@WiggyRuss
Guess we won't be hearing about Cavs near unblemished record vs the West now for at least a little while?

Any team with James, no matter who else is on the roster, will be to dependent on him because he needs to control everything.

The Cavs lost by 29 to the Blazers?

































































WE NEED ANSWERS!!!!!

Hopefully that injury to Bledsoe isn't too serious.

Good stat from Pluto in the PD demonstrating how JR has worked out nicely for the Cavs:

Since the Cavs acquired Smith, he is shooting 38 percent on 3-pointers. That's a very solid stat. Counting the playoffs, the only players who have made more 3-pointers since Smith came to the Cavs are Stephen Curry (440), Klay Thompson (290) and James Harden (255). Smith has 233. Remember that the ability to make 3-pointers is so important to the Cavs because it keeps the middle open for James and others to drive to the rim.

So you're just going to act like the Portland game did not happen? After shitting on the same team a week ago? LMAO

Brilliant strategy, huh?

You learn that this team has a long way to go before they can match & sustain the level of play the Warriors have displayed all season so far. But hey, you guys have Richard Jefferson who thinks he should get more PT because that will fix the problem.

Wow...this perhaps is another time when less is more. How come he hasn't learned to just shut up?

No worries Cavs fans. A loss after defeat by the Warriors is usually the norm for their opponents. Just ask the Clippers.

I haven't watched many Cavs games this season. I'm curious why Lebron's percentages are down. Since going back to Cleveland, his FG%'s are way down. 24.8% from deep this season. Outside the paint his numbers aren't great. Inside the paint his numbers are lower than in Miami. Even his FT% is below his norm. Is it the system in Cleveland? The supporting cast? Father Time starting to creep up on him? It's like his perimeter game has regressed which doesn't bode well for an aging star. Even Kobe is better from deep this season

on nights like tonight- when Marc Gasol clearly and completely wipes the floor with Whitesides ass- its just hilarious to think back on Turnup calling Whiteside "possibly the most dominant center in the game".

NOT EVEN CLOSE.

Gasol is so much better its ridiculous as he showed tonight.

You continue to show that you're a fucking moron.
First of all. Gasol is an elite center who has been in the league for years.
His offensive game and FT shooting is def better then Whiteside.
Whiteside though, is still the better rebounder/shot blocker and those 2 things are the foundation of his rise in the NBA.
Gasol didn't have that great of a shooting night, and many of his points came in the OT which at that point the Heat was fried.
Then, factor in that Whiteside was in foul trouble (and a couple were very questionable) so he had to tone it down a bit.
In the 2 games played this season, both were very good and effective because both players are very good and effective. It was basically a toss up.

You don't watch the games, you just run your mouth and for some reason worry about what the Heat are doing.

What you should be paying attention to is that the Cavs don't look like anything close to a championship winning team, and would be a ton better if they had a C like Whiteside vs that garbage you have playing C on a nightly basis.
