I honestly don't think we can win this. Even if we tried, unless the Cavs really play like ****.

Watch the lakers win against the cavs and jazz just to piss off the pro-tankers.

If you're going to win something, win this one. That should precipitate Blatt & Love's exits.

Love already said he is NOT leaving.

What make you or anyone think Love would leave a contender, take less money to go play a lottery team? If he wants to play a lottery team, he could have stayed with Wolves.

You do have a vivid imagination or may be a lack of English reading skills. Nowhere in my post did I say he'd go play for a lottery team, I just said it'd be fun to watch him skip town after they spent all their picks in that trade.

An important back-to-back stretch here. So is Kobe for sure sitting on the 2nd night from now on?

Especially after the gradeschool hissy fit gilbert threw after the paul trade. I don't make it a priority to hate on others and revel in misfortune, but he's a bitch and I hope this happens

While it would be nice to beat the Cavs we might have to lose this one. Not for the sake of keeping our pick. But the cavs losing to the Lakers after losing 9 of their last 10 might actually be rock bottom for them. I could see them slipping out of the playoffs and the league gifting them another #1 pick. The whole league might collapse after that.

A Lakers win tonight could destroy the NBA.

I don't think the Cavs have their pick this year. Can anyone confirm?

No 2015 pick goes to Bulls

"BULLS WOULD EXERCISE SWAP OPTION BECAUSE THEIR PICK IS CURRENTLY LESS FAVORABLE THAN CAVALIERS AND CAVALIERS PICK IS CURRENTLY NOT A LOTTERY PICK"

lottery protected, if they miss the playoffs, they keep their pick

and because if they're missing the playoffs in the east, they'll be drawing from 10-11th spot-ish
