Barf. Cavs lost last night, and will be looking for revenge.

I have extremely low expectations. Pistons are vastly improved, but nowhere near this level of play yet.

Yeah, they've been playing much more like a good but not great team lately. They were so dominant to start the season.

The Pacers are the best team in the league since Jan 1st at 12-3

Cavs are 11-6
Pistons are 11-7

I watched that Cavs/Celtics game last night. I know the Cavs are missing some players, but all the main guys were there, and they seemed flat. I've always questioned having two midgets in the backcourt.

Still, they are a cohesive unit, coming off a loss to the Celtics of all teams. Pistons are gonna get wrecked tonight.

New Orleans Pelicans: Jose Alvarado (Non-COVID Illness) is QUESTIONABLE for tonight’s game at Denver

is this the "done deal" we have with the Pelicans?

I wish, didn't they deal Theis to get out of luxury tax though? Don't think they need to do deal with us now

****, I just saw that... Man, you'd think Langdon would be able to solidify a "done deal" with his former team

Going exactly as I expected so far.

Cmon Langdon, do something. Don't Weaver it, but do something.

With Martin, it only makes sense that Simone will be traded, unless Martin is part of another deal.

Ron is playing great.

If the Cavs have two 7-footers, it wouldn't hurt to play Reed along with Duren/Stew

Holy embellishment. That Cavs player get shoved by Cade Cunningham or Clark Kent?

I still would have drafted Mobley over Cade.

well, Butler traded to GS for Wiggins, K. Anderson, and Schroeder (which I doubt they'd flip here - he's a Riley kinda guy)... As part of the deal, Warriors’ Lindy Waters III and Heat’s Josh Richardson are headed to the Detroit Pistons
