2021-2022 NBA Season

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

I didn't care one way or the other...and I knew NY would find a way to eventually give that game away...especially when going 26 of 36 from the FT line.....
...But for Thibs to not give Reddish or Gibson any minutes at all, while only giving Quickley 5 min for the entire game is just typical nonsense by him.
One day closer to the bitter end of yet another season of failure.

Celtics and Raptors starting to play good basketball.....gonna be on the Cavs heels soon.

Westbrook with 5 points on 1 of 10 shooting

Dude about to go full Simmons/Fultz/Nick Anderson and just curl into the fetal position instead of shooting.

Those motherfuckers in Staples Center were audibly yelling nooooooooooooooo every time he shot the ball.

My GAWD....Lol

How does he go on?

By just remembering how much $$$$$$$ he's stealing from them twice a month.

yah- as good as the CAvs are playing- and as much of a big step forward I think they have made---- between the youth of the team, and the injuries to Sexton and Rubio (and now Markkanen and Garland)- I dont have a lot of confidence they stay where they are at

Boston, Charlotte, Toronto are all built more for now than the Cavs- and are more healthy

now if the Cavs make a move - maybe that changes--- but the youth of the team and the injuries makes me think that they arent like top 4 where they are at now.

Garland is 22, Okoro 21, Markkanen 24, Allen 24, Mobley 20.......thats the core. Such a young team.

Pretty cool they have this core of Garland, Allen and Mobley- who all have all star upside or are already there---- and then some good young guys like Okoro and Markkenen behind them.

plus- they have some extra picks- and there own picks- an really- not like they need their picks. with so many young guys. They can move some of those to fill some gaps- though you always want cheap young talent.

Wiz had 51 points through 3 qtrs. lol......

I feel ANOTHER locker room fight in their immediate future.

Finally someone breaks the news that the Cavs are a young team on the come. More like this please.

Apropos of nothing, UCLA and Arizona State going to triple OT. First college game I've watched this year, UCLA point guard looks exactly like Bob Marley. Like not just exact same hair and beard, which you can control. Like the same exact face.

If the price is right, go get Levert.

Even if they fall in the standings, just making the playoffs and putting up a good fight is a dream Season.

Nobody expected you to be playing for anything other than ping pong balls. The only thing that can derail your Season is inexperience and injuries.

The Cavs are waaay ahead of schedule.

Y'all actually jumped the line.

They are pushing for LeVert. Indiana wants Sexton or Okoro. Cavs don’t want to trade either.
Rubio, Windler and 2 1st’s

Monk has to be the best signing of the year by a Country mile.

The Lakers are going to need to pull a Portland Norm Powell salary dump or he is gonna get paid elsewhere.



LAKER fans are just BRUTAL.

I actually felt sorry for Russ.

Not because of the benching.

They should have done that weeks ago.

But, the booing made me sad.

Bron on roids.

Only explanation for this shit.

PED's.

I don't. He deserved it. He earned those boos. He's ass most nights. Stats or not, he's constantly doing some little thing that's fucking you over. Whether its a turnover, a reckless pass, falling asleep on defense, its something. Tonight, he brought the total package. Maybe the boos and the benching will wake his ass up and make him realize he can at least cut down on doing stupid shit that's in his control. I was harsh (and drunk) the other night when I said he was completely washed. But he's half washed for sure. The "star" Westbrook is gone. He's gonna be up and down from here on out the rest of his career, gradually being down more often than not as the years go by. I've said for years with how he plays, the decline of Russell Westbrook will not be pretty. You're all seeing the start of it now. He's never been an efficient, high IQ player. He can only play one way. His skills are declining and combine that with the poor fit, and you get disaster. If he gets on another team where he can dominate the ball, he'll stuff a stat sheet and trick some people thinking he's fixed, but that team ain't winning a damn thing.

Please, God....

Please don't let some salty defender Rudy T one of the young Grizz players to avoid getting put on the highlight reel.

These Dudes are as spectacular as they are cocky.

He is who he is.

Women do this type of shit all the time.

We know the guy we like is a dog and a asshole.

Still, we think it will be different with me and I can change him.

You can't.

This is on LeBron and Pelinka.

Most everyone suspected this would be the outcome.

Rubio, Windler and 2 1st’s

no one is giving up 2 firsts for LeVert with one season left and his injury history

if some teams trumps your offer--- so be it.

give them a 1st, and if they insist- one of the 2 seconds they have from the spurs and rockets

i wouldnt risk the 2 firsts----- we have seen what happened to Atlanta. I dont want to trade a first that far out- which would be 3 years from now since you cant trade back to back firsts. You never know what will happen-

if they did- the 2nd first would have to be lotto protected.

Sometimes the conventional wisdom is right. Westbrook not a fit, Nash not a good coach...it was a gamble and they lost

Yeah, that is a lot. I doubt anyone is offering 2 1st’s. The Cavs have a lot of valuable 2nd’s and that’s where these can come to use

Precisely.
