Nothing IT can’t fixCavs only on pace to give up about 130, clearly have fixed those problems on D
Comfortable loss tonightI think the Lakers pick is going to be in play. They are a bad team on the road.
Yes, but check their schedule from Thanskgiving through New Years. Brutal.Yup. 2 gamed against Phx next week. Need Phx to win at least 1 of those.
Jae Crowder: 23 minutes, 3 points (1 of 2 from floor), 5 rebounds.
Despite LBJ playing 40 minutes at +5, Wade somehow was able to find 20 minutes to get to -21.
There was one sequence toward the end of the game where the Cavs ceded four consecutive offensive rebounds to the Rockets. If that were the Celtics, this forum would explode.Horrible effort on the glass by Cleveland at the end.
that happened a few times last season...the rebounds...There was one sequence toward the end of the game where the Cavs ceded four consecutive offensive rebounds to the Rockets. If that were the Celtics, this forum would explode.
This game is really fun to watch and Sacramento has enough good young depth to hang with Philly. And ZBo who looks to be carrying about 25 extra pounds right now. Embiid is abusing Fat Old ZBo.Simmons, Embid, and Covington are really good players. Philly has so much more talent than Sacremento, not sure how this is a game?
Amazingly, I don't think Houston actually scored on that sequence.There was one sequence toward the end of the game where the Cavs ceded four consecutive offensive rebounds to the Rockets. If that were the Celtics, this forum would explode.
And ahead of Cleveland in the standings via H2H record!BRK holds PDX to 97 points in PDX. Nets one game behind for a playoff spot!
Isn't most of the disparity with the top teams in each conference rather than top to bottom overall? What's the West's current playoff teams doing to the East's so far?
@Seangrandepbp
Don't tell anyone...it ruins the national narrative, but remember how the West/East NBA disparity was supposed to be at an all-time high?
With 16% of the inter-conference games completed, the East is up 37-34.
(East went 4-0 tonight...all on the road.)
For the East, records against the West:Isn't most of the disparity with the top teams in each conference rather than top to bottom overall? What's the West's current playoff teams doing to the East's so far?

Mitchell definitely has upside. They're asking him to do a TON for a non-lottery rookie (or even for a lottery rookie), and so his offense is predictably bad. A lot of the pieces are there though, and I'm very high on him. He has a pretty clear path to becoming Marcus Smart with a shot and better finishing, which would be a really good player.Anyone pay attention to the Jazz? Is there a reason Donovan Mitchell is getting so much burn? He's a decent enough defender but he's atrocious on offense. He has some upside though.
And John Collins continues to impress. Atlanta got a find at 19.
We are reasonably likely to have everyone except Hayward available by Thursday. That said, I still expect the Warriors to win by around 20.I expect the Warriors to come in here Thursday and absolutely thump the Celtics. GSW will come in here heated up to make a statement and we are just too banged up.
I'd love to see a competitive game and win/lose I'd take that as a positive.

Yup, I was assuming the Jazz had drafted him, forgot there was a trade involved. Still, #13 picks very rarely end up carrying the load he's being asked to.FYI, Mitchell was a lottery pick.
Lebron was 20 years and 20 days old when he first did it. Lonzo is 20 years and 15 days old todayI'm not sure if he'll be the youngest ever or not. He'll be close.
Cavs are in a dog fight with the Mavs 65-64 with 6:55 in the 3rd. That would be another terrible lose, but at least this one is on the road.Sixers in a dogfight with Warriors at half in GS. Nice job Philly. Fired up to watch this 2nd half, the 76ers are interesting to watch.
Warriors quickly reminded the Sixers who they are, a middling Eastern Conf team that will struggle to make the playoffs this season.Sixers in a dogfight with Warriors at half in GS. Nice job Philly. Fired up to watch this 2nd half, the 76ers are interesting to watch.
