Yeah that’s some home-town knee jerk hyperbole. The thing I liked most about it was Allen had just delivered a hard foul on him and Embiid was bent over grabbing his back. Sends a message to the crowd that he’s ok while also sending a great big fuck you on top of Allen’s head.
no disagreement with that other than he should thank the ref for not calling the push he needed to get the dunk to avenge his feelings being hurt by a hard foul.

And you guys already know this from the LeBron days, regular season BBall vs playoff BBall are two totally different animals. Cavs will be writing their story soon. From afar, this season is about getting there and then seeing what develops to use as their blue print for tweaking in the off season what they need to add around their core. They have KLove’s expiring deal next season and potentially a sign and trade of Sexton or a re-up of Sexton. Should be a very interesting follow for Cleveland fans.
Really am fascinated to see what they do with Sexton. I missed it but was told on postgame after last game Altman had some glowing things to say about sexton. Like "he's been the key to the changing of the culture here". Sure made it seem like he wasn't going anywhere....of course, even if he was he would not let that be known.

Injury was just awful timing for everyone.

That’s a great dunk. The factor in the Embiid dunk is the fact that you have a 7’2’’ man that is completing the kind of finish we are used to seeing from athletic wing players.
And to me the fact he's 7-2 and gargantuan is what takes away from it some. He also pushed off. Dunking on 3 vs. 1. No pushoff. I'd take Okoro's and not really close....but wouldn't say his is dunk of the year.

I would rather Tristan Thompson if they look for a big on the buy out market. Freedom has some offensive game but really doesn’t rebound or defend his position well. TT is a guy you can play some at the 4 with Embiid should the Sixers have continued rebounding woes.
He'd be a nice pickup, for sure.....though I think Indiana has been playing him. Have they said he'll be bought out?

Stephen A said what I told one of my friends last night and possibly on here.

Lakers need to trade AD this summer
Maybe....though possibly they'd be selling low unless he plays really well in postseason.

Oh we’re not gonna go there with the way that game was officiated last night. Mobley already getting iffy calls and the benefit of the doubt 50 games into his career. Cedi Fucking Osman pushing off on Korkmaz hip sending him sprawling and somehow it results in him going to the line?

Those Cavs fans love to bitch about the refs.

As does a certain Heat fan.

Yes i call them out for clear BS like the nonsense they called last friday in the cleveland/charlotte game. On the other hand, i don't remember the last time i mentioned them during the heat game

I will never understand NBA players who can't hit free throws. Literally, my biggest pet peeve.
It was a questionable call as well. As Rasheed says, ball don't lie

Uh...one Cav fan (of 3) complains about refs. this Cav fan wasn't bitching about the ref. He did, in fact, push off on his dunk. Never complained that it didn't get called.

There were a couple of questionable calls both ways down the stretch...but yeah, if that were any Laker not named Lebron, that call doesn't get made.

Not even AD or Westbrook.
