Kings blow double digit leads like it's their job it seems like.

Most importantly, Cousins did work for my fantasy team

Cousins puts up great stats, Kings lose because the overall team isn't good/bad defense. This theme got old years ago.

Yeah I was pleasantly surprised. I used to live in Phoenix, and you couldn't get anywhere near that close for that price no matter who the Suns were playing. Suns were just coming off their long run as a consistently great team, back then, though.

I don't know if it's still this way or not, but Suns fans used to be crazy loyal. They'd pack the house no matter what type of team the Suns had.

Mavs dominate the Cavs

 

[trojanfan12]

that should be a win you would hope.....they are a shit team- losing to them would be pretty humiliating.....especially after the Cavs looked pretty damn good last night.

Oops.

 

[Heatles84]

ooooooo Lebron's gonna have a tit fit.

 

[Heatles84]

Oops.

So it begins.

Mavs dominate the Cavs

Cavs on the 2nd night of back to backs have been HORRIFIC this season....what a joke....

surprisingly ofr one of the first times this season- it was the starters playing really shitty and the bench actually played pretty well.

Thompson goes from freaking 19 and 12 ,4 and 4 to 0 and 8.....hes beeen really inconsistent this season.

It's the Kardashian curse, brethern. TT dumps the Khloester then the Cavs will win. If not, there's your black cat.

LeBron throws down gauntlet: Barkley 'a hater'

LeBron throws down gauntlet: Barkley 'a hater'

"I'm tired of biting my tongue," James said. "There's a new sheriff in town."


James has never bit his tongue.
While James is correct about Barkleys past, what does is have to do with this?

Gilbert has lived up to his word so far.
James should have no beef with him, and if he did/does, there was no reason for it to become public.

Running to the media, or use of social media to spew your every though is not biting your tongue, is it?

My guess is it's due to what Barkley said last Thursday. Kinda happy he said this though

Charles Barkley: LeBron will never be a top-5 NBA great

LeBron throws down gauntlet: Barkley 'a hater'

Damn.

It was fun to get to see a Cavs game in person for the first time in quite awhile... but the fact is the Cavs do not look like anything like a title contender right now.

Harrison Barnes turned into Kobe fucking bryant last night, and Yogi Ferrell looked like Gary Payton. Game after game, it feels like the other team is playing way above their heads... which likely just means that the Cavs defense is garbage.

 

[gordontrue]

Also, it was obvious that - for the first time this season - there was a hard cap on the minutes they were gonna give LeBron and Kyrie.

I've never seen Lue take out LeBron in a winnable game in the 4th like that. Pulled him with 7 minutes to go in what I believe was an 8 or 10 point game. Kyrie got pulled a few minutes later.

Lue threw in the towel very early last night... but it was clearly because of not wanting to tax LeBron & Kyrie on the 2nd game of a back to back, so I guess I can understand.

Charles Barkley: LeBron will never be a top-5 NBA great

This is the issue with Barkley. This comment was made back in the summer but back in 2012 he said this.

Perfect description of the Mavs:

Yeah the fact that Barkley said "My top 5 is never gonna change" is just stupid. That was literally his reason for why LeBron isn't top 5, when Bill Simmons asked him to explain.
