Cavs with 137 points tonight.....unbelievable....Love with 40 points...34 in the first qtr....

I love how Love didnt want to go for a 60 point game, and they didnt force anything. They just kept playing. Thats how you make 21 three's in a game. The Cavs offense looks positively unguardable right now.

LeBron is honestly unbelievable. I cant imagine him playing any better than he has thus far this season. He looks so comfortable in this system with these players. Talent wise this is the best team he has ever played for and i dont think its particularly close. Love and Kyrie are in their primes (or close to it)...everyone is on the same page.....i think it will be a fun end to the season as long as they can stay healthy. Right now they look amazing. What a fun game. Last Friday that game against hte Pistons was unbelievable....again tonight...unbelievable performances...Kyrie was crazy-good last Friday...today it was Love's turn

and oh yah...LeBron with the triple double...lol....

23, 9 and 9 for the season thus far....just wow....i dont think he has ever played better ball in his career.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

i think they do- you guys just dont have very good options- hence Dion Waiters getting 14 shots a game. I dont think there is another team in the league where Dion Waiters is getting 14 shots a game...holy shit.

You're too naive to know it, but you coming on here after this game only proves what we've said all season.

This was your first appearance because he's been so good.

Team is terrible, so games like this will happen.

I'm still waiting for his big meltdown.

Wasn't that your go to for the last year?

What were Dame's stats?
Does he suck also?

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Disagree. Whiteside got the better of him in the last meeting in Detroit last year. Drummond got the better of him in game #1 and this game tonight

Could be.
I didn't memorize every game.

Nobody ever said Whiteside was that much better anyway.
I've just said he's overall better, which he has been.
One game is just that.

This was the Heats 1st laid egg.
What team hasn't had at least one this season?

So what I'm gathering is Wiggy should stick his head in a toilet and take a deep breath and hold it. Sound about right?

It's pretty funny actually.
Cavs are playing yet, he's checking Heat box score, like we know he does every single game, just praying for a bad game or a technical foul.

Nice job, it only took a month.

Trying to figure out how many times we gave a shit about the Cavs during our 4-year run with Lebron. I'm sure it's nowhere near the number with Wiggy and how much he pays attention to the Heat.

 

[Demonjoe93]

Same. When I first saw the score, they were up 20 at halftime. Very shocking.

@Demonjoe93 what happened tonight?

We just plain sucked last night. Fortunately, we were much better tonight.

Better be careful. The Heat may start challenging you guys for the divi.......nevermind.

When James was here, only time I cared about the Cavs was our first visit there that December.
I wanted to see the exact beatdown we saw.
Both Gilbert and the 'fans' there deserved every minute of it.

 

[Heatles84]

Good jesus....

 

[msgkings322]

Warriors with a franchise record 43 assists tonight LOL. With like 4 turnovers. Granted playing a young inferior team. Still, I don't see anything barring injury preventing Cavs-Warriors III. Not sure who wins either.

 

[Shanemansj13]

What is going on in the NBA? I hope it is just for the regular season. PPG is out of this world. Either offense is overtaking, defense doesn't matter anymore or a lot of both lol

 

[HurricaneDij39]

Vince Carter's resurgence (he'll be 40 in January) has been a key to Memphis' 10-5 start...How cool would it be if he played his final season in Toronto next year?

Warriors 149>>Cavs 137

Every hope and fear about the Warriors offense with Kevin Durant appears to be coming true. The Lakers are no one idea’s of an elite defense, but it was absurd to see them flail so hopelessly when trying to defend Curry, Thompson, Durant, Green, and another rotation player at the same time (or sometimes even just two or three of them). Yes, it must have been very tough to play the Warriors one night after an intense final-possession win over the Oklahoma City Thunder and a rabid Russell Westbrook. But teams do not simply score 149 points due to fortunate scheduling.

It’s hard to expect such nights, but Durant and the Warriors have now been together long enough to carry the potential for history every time they take the court. It only took 30 days to get to this point. The rest of the league is on notice.

I agree with this. Right now if these teams play a 7-game series, it'd be interesting, but I'd give the Cavs a slight nod. But the Warriors keep getting better and the scary thing is they're sharing the ball....A LOT. This is the Warriors offense we were expecting when they gave up some players for Durant. The playoffs are usually a different thing, but it's scary for the rest of the league that the Warriors aren't having as much of a problem co-existing then some originally had thought.

 

[trojanfan12]

Welp, back when the Lakers blew the Warriors out in the first game they played, I said that they would be made to pay for their insolence.

I was right.

Would have been nice to have had Russell and Randle so we could have only lost by 25.
