The 2023-2024 NBA Season

31-12 4th quarter for the cavs

was I the only Cav fan who was pretty sure we'd come back down 92-70 with 9 minutes left?

Damn I wish I put some coin on the Cavs' money line then.

Celtics always do this to me

Where is the foul?????

Have to admit even though was clearly not a foul - other than on Tatum for pushing off - I never thought they'd overturn it.

Hell of a comeback.

Granted games like that cannot be expected, but Wade played really well when he started for Mobley earlier as I'm sure you know.....seems like when he knows he is getting minutes he can produce. If not, he struggles. Niang kind of similar to a lesser extent.

Need them to be like the youngster Merrill and produce even with limited minutes.

For a team that hardly ever loses I would think this would be somewhat maddening as a fan.

Wow crazy win and Garland played pretty bad especially late.

If he never took a ball to the hoop late in a close game it would be OK with me. Finally has his 3 back so take one of those. Even a 10-12 footer. could probably get those whenever he wants. and no more passes a few feet from the big guys in a crowded lane.

Will say I rewatched the play late that was a lob to Allen. Great play and right read as he was wide open. Needed to maybe get a little more on that one but Allen could have caught it.

You would need to add Mitchell to Mobley to get Luka.

That still might not be enough.

Mitchell = Star

Luka = Franchise player /Superstar

No Mitchell but I'll throw in rights to Ira Newble. Final offer.

For whatever reason some people are threatened by the fact that a woman might be able to shoot a basketball as good or better as a man. Sure a smaller ball in theory has a better chance going through a hoop. But what’s never mentioned is that everyone is used to shooting the ball they are. Have 2 contests I guess, let them both shoot both balls. I guarantee you Curry won’t like shooting that smaller ball.

Yeah.

Shooting a women’s ball is not easier when used to a men’s ball.

Much easier for Sabrina to adjust to a men’s ball.

Because every time she has played pick up ball with men throughout her life, that is what she has played with.

Yeah, any guy who thinks it's easier to shoot with a women's ball than a men's has never shot a women's ball.

When the youngest daughter was about 10, she was into the WNBA and asked me to teach her to play like Lisa Leslie. Got her a WNBA ball and was amazed at how difficult it was to adjust. It's not just the size...it's the weight difference too.

The only thing that was easier was dunking because it was easier to palm the ball. lol

I just don't see it.

I just don't see it.

I do. Going to have to outscore them and that won’t be easy. They have 2 top 10 players, a top 25ish players, and 3 specialists from 3. That’s a hard team to beat 4 of 7 IF they’re healthy

I mean, we have barely seen them play together.

Booker and Beal alternating being injured reminds me a lot of the first few years of 213 with the Clippers.

…..with less depth, more clutch stars, less defense, less turmoil.

 

[Mecca]

Did Mobley just get injured by his own teammate?

That would be a yes…..

But he just landed wrong.

Evan Mobley 'will be out awhile' with ankle injury

Cleveland Cavaliers starting forward Evan Mobley is likely headed for another extended absence due to injury, this time because of a sprained left ankle suffered in an improbable win Tuesday over t…

Trade you Ham for Monty.

I'd take it. We've at least seen Monty be a good HC before

Have you ever seen it without Chris Paul?

Depth doesn’t matter much in the playoffs though. Throw in Eubanks and that’s your 8 man rotation with Book and KD slightly playing 40 or MPG and Beal in the high 30s. Health is what matters for them though

Don’t think Phoenix wins it.

But they are scary as hell.

Can beat literally anybody in a series.

Not many teams can say that.

 

[bksballer89]

Allen- 47%
KD- 42%
Royce- 40%
Gordon, Book, & Beal- 38%

What i listed above is the 3 pt % for the suns perimeter playss

Who wants to play this team lol

If they get snuffed, Defense will be their downfall.

They can beat every team in the West.

I feel sorry for the team that gets them round 1.

Play your ass off to get HCA and it won’t matter.

Denver is the only team currently top 4 that I would pick to beat them round 1.

Which is why I called you everything but a child of God when you put them with the Clippers round 1.

Why?!?
