2021-2022 NBA Season

While Markkanen is out- what do you think happens?

LeVert start at the 2 and push Okoro to the 3?

When Markkanen comes back --- LeVert has to start at the 2 right and prob. push Okoro to the bench?

Maybe LeVert plays 6th man. Okoro is too good of a defender

the Cavs even kept the Spurs 2nd round pick and gave up their own as the 2nd 2nd rounder? nice......not a huge deal but ill take that.

Wow.

Great deal for the Cavs.

They really love that 3 big lineup but went smaller last time (with Osman starting at SF) so my guess is they do that once he's acclimated before LM is back. I think when he's back LM definitely stays as starter once fully healthy. Tough to know who starter is. Wont be surprised at all if Okoro stays in at SG and Levert helps run the offense when Garland sits the first time.

You don't recall him trying to explain why this might have happened (which would be excuses) or trying to mitigate it because of other potential bad calls?

I explained how they could have possibly screwed it up. Not an excuse, just speculating on how a maybe decent team of officials (I don’t know if they are or not) could make such a terrible error.

I also said it didn’t end up impacting the result of the game.

And you have purposefully misrepresented my comments to create drama.

Caris can play spot 3.

But, he's much better suited as a 2.

I think Russ has it right and Car is will start, at least until Laurie is back.

it will be very interesting to see......brings a lot of options...for now lets assume he starts....

PG: Garland
SG: LeVert
SF: Markkanen
PF: Mobley
C: Allen

Bench: Love, Osman, Okoro, Wade, Stevens, Rondo

starting to get a little exciting.

The Cavs are honestly easily the biggest winners of that Harden deal---- basically 2 late firsts ,and 2 2nd rounders for Allen and LeVert.

But, you couldn't have both Bev and Westbrook on the same roster.

Gif never gets old lol

He always does. Don't even though why that call is still a topic of conversation

 

[WiggyRuss]

Cavs also getting Miami's 2nd rounder this year? weird.

Ohh for sure but when Lauri comes back. He will be a high minute guy off the bench, I’m assuming

Misrepresenting your comments? By repeating your comments? create drama? Talk about exaggerating. But at least msg gets to see you made excuses for them.....while you say you are not making excuses.

Also funny was earlier you asked why I was still talking about this and you are still talking about it.

You can go ahead and get the last word on the matter, though.

@trojanfan12

How did the Sparks get Liz Cambage?

When did that happen?

Have to think this year (assuming no sexton return or another deal) Levert should be on the floor whenever Garland sits, which might make it more likely that he comes off bench.

Cleveland has a really good, young team.

Yes.

You claim I made excuses. Didn’t do that. Said it was one of the worst calls I have seen from the start.

You claimed for pages I was trying to equate the calls, when I never did that either.

I equated the impact of the calls on the game.

Misrepresentation.

It is what you do.

why are you comparing it to high school calls? lol.

dude- NBA refs make 6 figures. High school refs get like 40 dollars a game. Please stop!!! LOL.

Can you two get a room?

Reasons are not excuses. The only one who thinks tlance defends this ref's mistake is you.

Obviously.

You missed most of the conversation.

I made a comment that I had seen some truly awful calls at lower levels reaffirming the point that NBA refs are actually good at their jobs on average despite the well publicized mistakes.

And that you can’t judge an NBA official on 1 call, no matter how terrible. Because refs make mistakes at every level.

Anthony Edwards looks like he's hung over again. He is an amazing talent but he literally looks hung over sometimes.
