Let's go cavs.

Lakers have a half game lead for the 8th seed. Please ruin that for them.

Thanks. :)

The Lakers suck pretty hard without LBJ. I'm not sure there young guys are that good.

Good fighting on defense nice win.
Lakers kids are overrated though I mean
We have the worst record in the league and despite so many injured Cavs gave them nothing.

I really liked what I saw from K. Love last night on the sideline. He was very into that game. I really think he wants to be here.

Yup I was kind of surprised to see it tbh, I figured he would have had enough with thinking the org still had any intention to have him in their plans with the clear tanking effort contradictory to what he was told before he signed here long term etc esp after the 12 games losing streak anticipating a trade with the org down shifting etc. However despite the fact they have so many injuries and have been really bad all year, they have not stopped fighting every possession, well at least Sexton anyway, others like Burks obviously got up for the nat tv game in LA as well as Osman seeming to thrive in that environment for some reason as if he needed any more motivation to keep a starting job going forward.
\I guess maybe Love is into being a big part of this rebuild and who knows maybe he is down with tanking for Zion or RJ but can't help but get excited for the youngsters when they do well.

I'd love to trade him for a good second, or two, and a worse expiring player.
