Of course the commentators would gush and overrate that routine pass by Curry

Lol @ that failed dunk

The rejection by the rim was so embarrassing. I can't talk shit though, I fall just short of touching the rim without a basketball.

 

[Heatles84]

Could've sworn Pop had more.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Lance pulled a McGee tonight and we nearly had a fight

I thought this unwritten crap was a baseball thing.

If the Raptors didn't want the Pacers to score in the last second of a 13 pt blowout why were they trying to score with 10 seconds left? Goose/gander kinda thing.

Nope there's not many unwritten rules in the NBA but that is one of the few.

After being picked apart by pundits and opposing offenses alike for the past five weeks, the Cavs found the eureka moment they'd been hoping to find, as they outscored the Orlando Magic 43-20 in the third quarter en route to a 122-102 win.

The 23-point differential was the most successful quarter the Cavs played in the nearly three full seasons since LeBron James returned to Cleveland, according to ESPN Stats & Information. The stats were surreal, from 16 assists on the 17 baskets they scored in the period, to a 9-for-13 mark from 3-point range (69.2 percent), to out-rebounding Orlando 14-5 and limiting the Magic to just 35 percent shooting.

"After that I looked at Champ [James Jones] and said, 'That's us,' " Kevin Love said. " 'That's our basketball. That's the way we're meant to play, how we're supposed to play.' So it felt good to get that great quarter, but now we need to do it for three other quarters."

It was the 2nd time all season the Cavs had their full rotation of players that are likely to play in the playoffs.

i just love this from LeBron. lol

"Their crowd is going to be great, and it's a very good team we're going to be playing against tomorrow," James said of the Celtics, who are 8-2 in their past 10 games. "We know that. Taking nothing from them, they've been playing some great ball, but I'm not one to get caught up in the regular season. I'm sorry. I've been to six straight Finals, man. I'm the last person to ask about a regular-season game, dude. Sorry."

Basically saying--- gmafb...ive been to 6 Finals in a ROW. dont bring that shit to me.

So we should expect 43 point quarters from the Cavs all the time now?

lol

it doesnt even matter if they won that game, lost that game etc. who its against. whatever.

what mattered was they played their brand of basketball and were unstoppable and look like they are getting their groove back a little bit-

tonight will be interesting. Its gonna be a hard fought game thats for sure.




certainly helps they had their full contingent of players available for only the 2nd time this season.

I would expect them to play their brand of basketball and look unstoppable considering they were playing the Orlando Magic.
