Not playing bones since trading for him and tonight proves that. Dude can change a game with his threes

Hate that PG got hurt.

But, it opened the door for Bones.

Early day tomorrow.

So, I will just leave this here.

Those fucking Rockets and Mavs games the Lakers blew, damn it. They'd be sitting at 5 right now if they just played smart. That's how stupid tight the West is right now. You could bump that graphic up one to show the Clipper (39-35) and its conceivable they could fall to 9th or 10th with a minor losing streak with PG out.

Morris is so bad.

He's got blackmail on Lue. Only logical reason he keeps playing so much

I would not want to play with this ignorant mofo.

Some of that at the very least has to be on Thibs...and his staff.
If it wasn't addressed/resolved in the locker room after the game...then something is terribly awry, and it'll likely carry over to the detriment of the entire team.

Maybe he needs to sit for a game or 2 and just chill.

You got a fucking problem?

 

[Stakesarehigh]

And he had the nerve to complain about the refs today

Yea..... it's like having Bill Clinton being the spokesperson on sexual harassment

 

[Stakesarehigh]

I feel really good for this kid. Could anybody envision this kid making this shot before this season? Shit can you picture him taking it? He probably isn’t even on the floor with this game situation in your mind beginning of the season. Love it when you see hard work on holes in a game show up with results.

This. I thought he was a slightly better Thybulle.

Golf clap for Russ.

2 years ago the Cavs won 22 games and had the worst defense in the NBA. Their best player looked like COlin Sexton. Garland looked lost.

2 years later- looks like they have home court for the first round secured and arguably the best defense in the nba.

great job by Cavs ownership and front office.

 

[Pastafazul]

Dolan at it again…


Look what’s happened to Randle

@dtgold88 @Shanemansj13

who would you rather have first round? Knicks or Heat?

I think its an interesting question. I think the Heat have the experience and toughness, but the Knicks have more overall talent.

good to see Okoro and LeVert doing some good things lately.
