Game 43: Cavs at Nets | Mon, Mar 19th | 7:30 PM ET

[Rise Against]

And "The Jumpshooter" must be really disappointed he didn't get traded..

[zol2332]

I like Sloan. Maybe we found our back-up PG for the Irving era....

[ScramboD8]

Come on Byron. Get Parker and Jamison out.

[TheOUTLAW]

Kyrie is a beast.

[TheOUTLAW]

Wow, I don't think I ever thought that Tristan would score this much.

[ScramboD8]

Kyrie is a beast.

He's amazing.

[zol2332]

That's one we really needed to lose. However, we got a glimpse at what TT can do... one does not get 27 and 12 by accident. Again, Kyrie was Mr. Fourth

[ScramboD8]

But Nets are awful, how could they pass us? They have six losses more than us.. Imagine that team without Deron next year.....

[Rise Against]

I honestly do not mind a win like this even though I am in full support of tanking. The rookies leading the Cavs to victory is way better than having Jamison and Sessions do it. Good win tonight.

Fully agree.

ugh. I don't mind them winning but the idea of the Nets ( who have a friggen superstar) getting a better pick than us just rubs me the wrong way.

Don't worry, they won't have him long. Besides, I think we might have a superstar in the making, too. Portland is the real winner here....

I feel like the Nets will win some more games now that they have Wallace to pair with Williams. I think they'll end up with a better record, even though they are god-awful. I wish stupid Brook Lopez would stop being hurt.

We need more 5-20 shooting efforts from Jamison, though, and less 27 point nights from Tristan, maybe a "sprained ankle" for Kyrie. Mix in a little Luke Walton and voila, top 6 pick.

There is one positive in what we are saying. Yes, we need pick 5 to guarantee us Barnes, MKG, or Lamb. However, Tristan and Kyrie refuse to let us tank. The rookies are only going to get better. Playing over 30 minutes now, let's see if TT shows vast improvement these last twenty-some games. This is going to be crucial. I want to see if he can average 12 and 8 over this last stretch getting these minutes. The burn he's about to get will propel him into a full offseason of adding bulk and refining the jumpshot with John Lucas. Wanted to lose that one.... but I love that the rooks refuse to lose.

I agree, as nice as losing would be draftwise, if we are winning games because of the rookies and Gee, then it bodes well for next season. I really like the effort Irving and Thompson bring to the game, I think they are a great pair to start this rebuild with. I can't wait to get the next group of young guys in here.
