Timmy D is retiring this year?

Nothing official but mumblings around the League indicate he will based on SA's front office decisions and from an interview Pop did a month or so ago sorta of saying he was but quickly caught himself and reversed course. They're definitely going after Gasol though. That's the reason they didn't get a deal done with Leonard because the extension would have taken away cap room to pursue Gasol. By letting Leonard hit RFA, they can sign Gasol and still match any offers for Leonard if they want.

"Get that weak stuff outta here"

I turned it there for 2 minutes and had to go back to watching other NBA games.

the play by play guy is bad also....just not as bad as carr.

Carr is awful

He's someone who should be doing radio. No way should he do TV when there are fans from around the world watching games on the league pass. I think I rather a broadcaster who is biased and bitch about every calls over 2 guys who sound like they're 2 fans in the stands watching the game

I doubt it. I've seen nothing from them this year to suggest they make the playoffs especially in the west.

They look awful....Have yet to win a game against their own conference.

The Nuggets beat the Cavs. Cleveland has a high powered offense, but their defense needs some serious work.

James went there to play less games/ minutes and knew he could rely on Milller coming off the bench.

How dare Arison not tie up 15M in him last season?

Excluding the blow out vs ATL, here is how LBJ minutes look so far this year.

He has played 40+ minutes in every game except the Portland game.....Probably would have played 40 minutes if the game wasn't so ugly.

I could careless if he burns out Love & Irving because those guys can use it but playing a guy who is coming off 4 straight finals appearances 40+ MPG is ridiculous.

With this roster, LBJ shouldn't be playing more than 37 MPG

Look at the box scores and the bench.
I know they have that 1 guard out, but there's really not much there.
Then, consider all the Cavs starters have been healthy so far.
History says thats not going to continue.

They need blowouts to get James rest, as you pointed out, but blowouts aren't that easy to get when you have mediocre D and every teams throwing max effort at you.
