Can't see why Atlanta was trying to trade away this core.

Huge win for Miami

McRoberts finally played like the guy he was in Charlotte. Best game as a Heat IMO

Yep. For one day he actually earned his paycheck.

Something is going to have to change in the offseason after we get our asses handed to us in the Playoffs.

Wade did call him out yesterday and said he must be more aggressive now that Bosh is gone

Indiana and OKC on ESPN is good shit guys.

Indy just tied it at 95

Dear Cavs Fans Everywhere,

For the last 12 years, I have had the honor of representing the city of Cleveland and the Cavaliers organization, and for that I will forever be grateful. Coming over from Spain at the young age of 21 was a difficult transition, but as soon as I put on a Cavs jersey and stepped on the court, I felt at home.

There were seasons we played well together, and there were seasons we struggled together. We had playoff runs, and we had championship runs. Over the last 12 seasons we have had many ups and downs, but no matter the product on the court one thing never changed… The unwavering support from all of you, the fans.

Whether you were watching on TV, listening to the radio, or in the Q screaming at the top of your lungs, we felt your energy and support. Cleveland fans are simply the best.

There is nothing like walking on the streets on a freezing cold day and hearing fans scream your name, then stopping to talk to those same fans. There is nothing like looking into the crowd and seeing over 20,000 people wearing wigs to match your hair. That’s a feeling I will cherish for the rest of my life and never forget.

In a similar way to how Brazil holds a special place in my heart, Cleveland has also become a part of me. I consider everyone in the organization as family – from ownership, the entire front office, all of the coaches I have had over the years, and every single employee from top to bottom – thank you.

The city of Cleveland is truly a special place.

I have seen players and coaches come and go, but through it all I have always known Cleveland is where I want to retire. But life doesn’t always work the way you want it to, and at the end of the day, the saying ‘this is a business’ is unfortunately true.

So with that, I say goodbye. But more importantly, I say thank you. Thank you for your support. Thank you for coming out every night whether we were winning or losing. And thank you for giving me the best 12 years of my life.

Home is where the heart is, and my heart will forever be in Cleveland.

Very classy. Always liked that guy.

I will like him even more if he goes to GSW and win a title to rub in the Cavs FO face

 

[bksballer89]

115 points without Wade, Bosh, or Hassan? WOW

Gutty, unexpected, win for the Heat.

Unfortunately the 3 teams hot on our ass (Indy, Charlotte, and Chicago) all won. We were able to pass ATL for 4th. Hopefully Utah able to beat Boston tonight as well

Some nights you need to take care of yourself.
I figured no way we'd gain ground tonight.
It certainly would have been nice, but we for sure won't lose any.

The thing is if were able to stay healthy (excluding the Bosh illness), I see no reason why we should not finish top 5. Health is the key but I love this aggressive McBob

We seem to play better when the deck appears to be stacked against us.
We just need to stay healthy and focused and we'll stay in the fight for a top 4 seed.

CHICAGO flat out owns the RAPTORS.

They should try and stay in that #7 spot and play the Raps in the #2 who are already known for 1st rd upset losses.

Plus it keeps the Cavs on the other side of the bracket.

Whiteside with 10 and 13 in 13 minutes off the bench.....It's only the 2nd quarter

He sucks. Tristan Thompson could produce twice as much in half the time. That's why he's worth the eleventy billion dollars that Lebron got him.
Which proves that Lebron is the greatest GM in the history of all sports. - Wiggy
