I wonder to where

Who knows?
Prob won't be anything rumored now.

Also, both Celts and Spurs need frontcourt help.

Celts might not be able to beat the Cavs, but they need to find a way to get the 2 seed and give it their best shot.
Horford is what he is. They have the assists. Make a move already.

Spurs aren't beating the Warriors with Gasol/Aldridge. They're record is fools gold, but might be good enough to put them in the mindset of leaving things as is.

Funny scene in the Cavs' postgame locker room: Baron Davis weaved his way through the crowd of media surrounding LeBron James' cubby to finally greet the 4-time MVP. "The King!" Davis said, with a big smile. "You're harder to get to than Princess Zelda. I needed like a key, and a heart and a ruby to do that." After making the charming, if not outdated, video game reference, Davis told James that his kids don't believe him when he tells them that Daddy knows LeBron and he has to bring up old YouTube clips to show them. James invited Davis to check out some Cavs practices back in Cleveland sometime this season.

Long trip starting soon so that will be crushing. At least Blake should be back within 2 weeks

They are saying it's a sprained thumb.

Not sure if it's good that it's not the same hand he broke last year.

The bus is on bricks without CP3.

Not Boston please. Now Whiteside, hmmm thats of interest

 

[LogicMan]

Let me be the first to say that Draymond Green just converted me from "i dont like you" to : "I may need to give you another chance" after he played with Lebron on and off the court. Lebron needs to be more genuine

Are Wiggy and the other Cav homers around? They got their shit pushed in.....no lube.

Same thing happened last year in the regular season, how did it end?

It ended without KD on the floor for GS.

LeBron is 14 and 3 against KD lifetime, it's a regular season game in the middle of January, it means about absolutely nothing.

So does the comparison to last year, it's a different team dynamic.

Yup. Ok

and thats why i think the LeBron "rivarly" thingis a cogent argument.

The Warriors turned over a good amount of their roster- Durant hasnt played in any of the last 2 Finals--- Kyrie and Love didnt play in the first Finals (but for Kyrie playing in one game).

2 and a half years ago the teams had zero history with eachother what so ever....so- all of a sudden, after 2 Finals its a "rivalry"?

i dunno...i think its close- and its getting to be a "rivalry"- but if i had to say right now- id prob lean against it.......If the two rosters were relatively stable and everyone played in the Finals the last 2 years - maybe id lean more towards rivalry....but combine that with no history between the teams but the last 2 years and i think its tough to get there.

not to mention Love idnt even play the 2nd half with back spasms (that have plagued him for the last couple weeks- why he has been riding the bike while he is on the bench)--- Shumpert just got put in the starting lineup...Korver just got dealt for...last game of the Cavs longest road trip of the season.....

I couldn't believe it....it was like watching last season's playoffs all over again. I mean what are the odds (for that particular injury) that it would happen again?

 

[TJL]

Yup. Ok

lol
